Consultation process
In accordance with section 72(3) of the 2014 Act, the Council conducted a formal consultation over its proposal to extend the period for which its two existing PSPOs would have effect. The consultation ran from 1.09.20 to 13.10.20.
In further compliance with section 72(3), the Council directed its consultation at:
• The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex
• Sussex Police
• All town and parish councils in the Lewes district
• The general public
A report on the consultation, which showed consultees to be overwhelmingly in favour of the two existing PSPOs being extended by three years, was submitted to the Director for consideration, who in turn shared it with Cllr Denis, the Cabinet Member for Communities and Customers. In light of the report and Cllr Denis’ views on it, the Director decided to extend the two PSPOs for three years.
