PUBLIC SPACE PROTECTION ORDER - ONLINE SURVEY

Earlier today I joined members of Cheshire East Council's Communities & Anti-social Behaviour team and the local beat team at Cheshire Police, surveying businesses and residents on the subject of high-performance vehicles. The multi-agency action group is giving consideration to introducing a Public Space Protection Order in the centre of the village; this would involve establishing a zone (possibly from the junction with Brook Lane to the junction with Whitebarn Road) where certain types of irresponsible driver behaviour would become illegal and enforceable with a fine. A Public Space Protection Order would be separate from recently announced speed reduction and traffic calming measures along London Road, but would give Civil Enforcement Officers additional powers.

Before the Council can begin with the implementation of a PSPO, there is a requirement to consult as many businesses and residents as possible and therefore I would like to ask everyone to complete a short online survey by clicking on the link below (the survey only takes a couple of minutes to complete). The survey will remain open until 1st September and I will share the results in due course. I would like to thank members of the Anti-social Behaviour Team and officers from Cheshire Police for joining me this afternoon and helping to provide a visible presence in the village. Police officers also took the opportunity to warn a number of motorists and spoke to several of the photographers who congregate to capture these vehicles on their phones. One motorist was also issued with a ticket for contravening the West Street one-way order.
