Decision details

The Cabinet Member:  

1. Authorised the extension of the Millfield, New England, Eastfield & Embankment Public Spaces Protection Order covering the area as shown in the plan included at Appendix 2 for a further 3 years until October 2027. 

2. Delegated authority to the Executive Director Place and Economy and Director of Legal & Governance and Monitoring Officer to take all necessary steps to implement the decision in recommendation 1. 

Given the current level of crime and ASB reported to the Police in this area and the support from statutory consultees, the public and interested parties; it is considered justified and proportionate to recommend the amendment and extension of the Millfield, New England, Eastfield and Embankment Public Spaces Protection Order for a further three years.

Continuation of the Millfield, New England, Eastfield and Embankment Public Spaces Protection Order will directly enable the Local Authority and the Safer Peterborough Partnership achieve the objectives to ‘Keep our communities safe, cohesive and healthy’ and ‘Tackling anti-social behaviour.’

If extended for a further 3 years, the Order will give the council and Police additional powers to utilise alongside other initiatives, policies and investments dedicated to tackling crime and improving the quality of life for communities within this area of the city.  

Do nothing and the existing Millfield, New England, Eastfield and Embankment Public Spaces Protection Order expires – this would have a detrimental impact on the quality of life for those who visit, live or work in the order area and reduce the public's confidence in the council.  

Without a Public Spaces Protection Order in the Millfield, New England, Eastfield and Embankment area, authorised council and Police officers would not have the justification to instruct individuals to cease their behaviour which is causing or likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress and impacting on the quality of life in the area.
