Current consultations

We want to hear from you about what we are doing in Redcar and Cleveland. Information about the consultations currently taking place is available below.

Consultation on the council’s proposals to renew the “Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council (Anti-Social Behaviour and Nuisance) Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO)” (with variations)

The council is asking anyone who lives, works, does business, or visits the borough for their views whether it should renew the existing powers to control alcohol consumption in public spaces in 11 town, village and local centres across the borough; and also to alter the areas to which it applies.

The council also wants to renew the existing powers to tackle urination and defecation and antisocial behaviour and nuisance, and aggressive begging,  in these 11 town, village and local centres.

The police and council enforces the aggressive begging prohibitions in a proportionate way, continuing to deal with anyone identified as vulnerable in a sensitive and empathetic manner, and signposting them where appropriate to sources of support including mental health services; supported housing; and benefit advice etc. 

Exemptions are in place for people collecting money in the street , in a non-aggressive manner, providing they have a street collection permit issued by the council. 

The variations the council seeks the public’s views on are as follows: 

  • amend the extent of the Marske restricted area to incorporate the adjoining Marske valley gardens and neighbourhood 
  • amend the extent of the Saltburn restricted area to incorporate the adjoining seaward side of Marine Parade and the Lower Promenade

The renewal of this Order would mean the council and its partners will retain powers to take action to tackle public drunkenness and alcohol related violence issues, and to continue to tackle public urination and defecation and antisocial begging related issues within 11 town, village, and local centres across the borough.

The variations would also mean the council and its partners will take new powers to extend all these provisions to additional areas adjoining the Marske and Saltburn restricted areas.
