Action on bad behaviour in public
Seven types of behaviour could land you with an on-the-spot fine in some parts of Lancaster , Morecambe and Heysham, under special council and police powers being recommended for renewal.
A cabinet report states: "Public space protection orders sit amongst a broad range of powers to tackle anti-social behaviour. They are aimed at ensuring public spaces can be enjoyed free from anti-social behaviour and to help with persistent issues that are damaging communities. Enforcement can be undertaken by councils and the police."
This uses funds from Lancashire's Police & Crime Commissioner for extra work and patrols. Areas targeted have included Happy Mount Park and Poulton ward. In the past 12 months, the park has seen an 85 per cent reduction in reported anti-social behaviour incidents. Poulton ward has seen a fall of nearly 24 per cent, the report states.
