PUBLIC SPACES PROTECTION ORDERS IN EALING How do we construct a effective PSPO? June 18

Working hard to get it right Options Proposal (cont’d) Define Challenge Evidence Communication Consultation Baseline Evaluation Engagement Promote Understanding & Good Decisions

Approach and learning Options Proposal (cont’d) • We seek to use orders to enhance spaces and prohibit behaviours that discourage the community as a whole to enjoy the space. • ASB and associated drug and alcohol abuse in public spaces is often our key driver. • Consultation is key, we have an extended period of 8 weeks as standard and work very hard to demonstrate we have taken all possible routes to get peoples views and understand any potential unintended effects of an order. • Policing and patrolling have to be agreed and monitored closely. • Orders create expectations for residents, need to ensure an on going dialogue with Local Members and be prepared for other localities nearby to expect a similar approach

Current Orders Options Proposal (cont’d) • West Ealing Town Centre – April 2017 • Southall Town Centre and Parks – April 2018 • Mattock Lane PSPO – April 2018 – Subject to Appeal • Valetta Road Gating PSPO – May 2018 • Now considering next steps for potential Borough wide options
