Liverpool Council has admitted 'nothing is working' as it shines a spotlight on the area
Fines could be handed out to curb anti-social behaviour involving children as young as 10 in one part of Liverpool as the city council admits “nothing is working.”
A council can make a PSPO if it believes activities in a public place within the authority's area have had a “detrimental effect on the quality of life.” Once an order is made, the police, police community support officers and others authorised by Liverpool Council would have powers to issue fixed penalty notices for such breaches.
“As well as these behaviours the community also experience physical issues with poorly maintained and overcrowded housing, utilities being dangerously bridged and poor street lighting.” Landlords in the area are also being assessed by the city council who are failing to manage their properties correctly. Since May last year, one offender has been under caution for breaching a community protection notice.
