DISCUSSION
It was noted
that a report had been submitted to Cabinet on 16 July 2019 to approve a public consultation on the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order in a specific
area of Bangor. Thorough consultation had been held with Local
Members and the Police, as well as the public consultation. A good response had been received to the consultation, and the results of the consultation noted that a number of Bangor residents were concerned about anti-social behaviour in the city. Following
the consultation and based on Police
evidence, it was decided to
expand the area of the order. The next steps would be to erect signs to inform the public, and the Police would also promote
the order. Assurance was also received that
the Order would not be used to target homeless people in Bangor.
