Minutes:

The Director of Neighbourhoods presented the report which aimed to restrict access to specified alleyways to restrict crime. A member of the neighbourhoods team answered questions. Funds had been awarded from the Home Office for the ‘Safer Streets 2 Central Birkenhead and Seacombe’ initiative, which was to be delivered between July 2021 and March 2022, and was aiming to reduce burglary and achieve benefits for communities by reducing anti-social behaviour.

 

Councillors praised the initiative and the benefits that would result and emphasised that some alleyways had been turned into assets for the community once cleared and cleaned. It was noted that there was a

weighting in the tendering process for procurement of the gates locally.

 

Resolved –

That the making of a Public Spaces Protection Order in the ‘Birkenhead and Seacombe Safer Streets 2’ area as substantially set out in Appendix 1 of this report, be approved for a period of 3 years.
