Public consultations have opened on the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) that covers Rotherham Town Centre and Clifton Park, and the borough-wide order on dogs.
These two orders, that deal with anti-social behaviour and dog fouling are due to expire in September 2023. It is proposed that new PSPO’s will be made around both these issues depending on the consultation responses and evidence.
Cllr Saghir Alam, Cabinet member for Corporate Services, Community Safety and Finance, said “These orders are put in place to ensure that people feel safe in the town centre and our neighbourhoods are kept free of dog fouling. Public Space Protection Orders make it easier for the police and council officers to take action, so it’s essential people let us know what they think of our proposals.
“We want to hear people’s views about these important issues we are addressing and our proposals for how we continue to tackle them.”
The public consultations will be available on the Council website until 6 August. The Council will also invite local parish councils, South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, community organisations, local businesses, ward councillors, and council officers to have their say.
Consultation findings will be submitted to Cabinet, who will make a final decision on what will be included in the renewed PSPOs.
