Decision:
RESOLVED:
A. That Cabinet noted the contents of the Evidence Report, the Public Consultation Findings, and the Equalities Impact Assessment (Appendices 1-3).
B. That Cabinet agreed the proposal to make a borough wide PSPO for alcohol related ASB and make Merton a responsible drinking borough.
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Civic Pride presented the report. The Borough currently had a PSPO which covered the Mitcham Town area and following a formal consultation, 79% of respondents supported expanding the area covered by this. The report therefore recommended discharging the current PSPO and enacting a new Borough-wide PSPO. The Cabinet Member thanked officers and Councillors for their work.
In response to questions from Cabinet Members, the Cabinet Member advised that there would be a broader strategy for those where alcohol was a problem and that a street drinking task and finish group had been established on this issue.
