Minutes:

Councillor Boutrup moved the item noting it was the three-year renewal of the original Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO) agreed in 2017.  The item was seconded by Councillor Webster who, in response to questions raised by Members, confirmed that no fines had currently been issued, and no authorities granted to Parish Councils as no Parishes had made a request. He noted that the Rangers focus their work on maintenance of the countryside estate working with volunteers and contractors to raise education on the subject. Targeted enforcements can be made if Rangers receive reliable specific information on sites.

 

Discussion was held on the areas that the PSPO’s covered and it was confirmed that the dog fouling PSPO covers the whole District whilst the other PSPO’s cover Mid Sussex District Council assets only.

 

The Chairman took Members to a vote on the recommendations which were agreed.

 

RESOLVED

 

Council noted the contents of the report and agreed to the adoption of the Public Spaces Protection Orders as set out in Appendix 1.
