PSPO

1. To what extent do you consider anti-social behaviour (ASB) to be a problem within Bentley Bridge Retail and Leisure Park?

2. Do you think restrictions on large groups and the removal of face coverings without reasonable excuse would help reduce ASB in the area?

6. Do you agree with the proposed enforcement approach for people under 18 who breach the PSPO?

Proposed approach:

1st breach: Warning and education about the PSPO; information on positive diversionary activities

2nd breach: Further engagement and letter to parent/guardian

3rd breach: If behaviour continues after warnings and parental contact, the case goes to the police team that deals with anti-social behaviour.

Possible outcomes:

Restorative Justice: A process to repair harm, such as an apology or community work.

Injunction: A court order with strict rules (e.g., banning entry to certain areas). Breaching this can lead to arrest.

(Required)
