To consider the report of the Assistant Chief Executive (Corporate Governance) setting out proposals for a Designated Public Places Order to be made to cover the Town Street and surrounding area within Farsley.

(Report attached)

Further to minute 27 of the meeting held 6^th October 2009 the Assistant Chief Executive (Corporate Governance) submitted a further report on proposals for a Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) to be made to cover the Town Street and surrounding area of Farsley. The area to be covered was detailed in a map at Appendix 3 of the report

The report outlined the background to the proposals; the consultation process undertaken and evidence in support of the proposals submitted by West Yorkshire Police.

Members noted that proposals for a Farsley DPPO had been presented and approved at the Committee meeting held 6^th October 2009. However following that meeting it came to light that the Notice placed in the newspaper had been incorrect and it was likely that the DPPO as approved would be invalid.

The Authority had undertaken the process again and re-advertised the DPPO. There were no changes to the proposals or information supplied by the police. No further comments had been received from the public.

RESOLVED –

a)  That approval be given for a Designated Public Places Order to be made in respect of the Farsley area as detailed in the map attached at Appendix 3 of the submitted report

b)  That the Director of Environment and Neighbourhoods be authorised to advertise the making of the Order, to procure the required signage and carry out any further steps necessary to bring the Order into force
