Public consultation on a new draft coastal zone Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for Herne Bay and Whitstable is underway.
PSPOs were introduced to tackle nuisance behaviour that affects the quality of life for other people.
Including an activity in a PSPO effectively bans people from that activity in the area it covers.
Among the proposed measures set out in the draft coastal zone PSPO are:
* lighting or fuelling any open fire
* using, lighting or discarding any disposable barbecue
* being in possession of any glass bottle on any beach (except where the bottle is being carried in transit)
* harming or attempting to harm any wildlife
On the council website at https://news.canterbury.gov.uk/consultation-item?id=1&r=54
you can view the proposed PSPO, see a map of the area it covers and give us your views on the plans.
Comments must be submitted by Sunday 8 May.
