Council seeks views on Public Spaces Protection Orders in South Tyneside
South Tyneside Council is seeking the public’s views on Public Spaces Protection Orders.
Residents across South Tyneside are being asked to give their views on Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) across the borough.
PSPOs are rules that help deal with issues that can affect public spaces likes beaches, parks, streets and other shared areas.
The annual ban on dogs on certain South Shields beaches between May 1 and September 30 is an example of a PSPO.
South Tyneside Council has revealed that it is reviewing its Dog Control PSPO and other anti-social behaviour PSPOs, with resident feedback helping to make decisions about the future of the rules.
The local authority is making the review as a PSPO can only stay in place for up to three years before it can be extended, changed or allowed to end.
The consultation period will be open to South Tyneside residents until Friday, October 2.
Members of the public can have their by at: https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/pspoconsultation.
