Plans are in the pipeline to crack down on anti-social behaviour in three areas of Carlisle – and people are invited to have their say.
Cumberland Council wants to extend its existing Public Spaces Protection Order to include Rickerby Park, Botchergate, and the Sheepmount.
The order aims to help tackle anti-social behaviour and improve public safety and enjoyment of shared spaces.
It currently applies to several parts of the city and allows the council and police to deal with a range of issues such as street drinking, noise, nuisance behaviour, unauthorised camping, and reckless use of vehicles or e-scooters in public areas.
The authority has launched a short online survey about its plans.
It asks for views on a range of activities and behaviours that could be addressed under the extended order, including:
- Anti-social behaviour by individuals or groups
- Street drinking and public intoxication
- Unauthorised camping or overnight stays in public spaces
- Nuisance from loud music, revving engines or large gatherings in car parks
- Misuse of scooters, skateboards or vehicles in pedestrian areas
- Unregulated street performances or sales
The consultation runs until Tuesday August 5.
