Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014
Proposed Public Space Protection Order The new Anti Social Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced a new power available to local authorities called Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs). These orders are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in particular areas. Specifically they replace the district council’s existing Dog Control Orders that are currently in place but will now expire in 2017. The exact details of a local protection order can be defined by a local council and can be enforced by a police officer, and authorised council officers. A breach of an order is a criminal offence and can be dealt with by issuing a Fixed Penalty Notice (£100 reduced to £60 for early payment) as an alternative to prosecution in the courts where the maximum fine is £1,000. The district council proposes to introduce a PSPO to cover aspects of dog control and are required to consult with the public over its proposals.

HS2 Phase 2b: Crewe to Manchester and West Midlands to Leeds – Consultations on the draft Environmental Impact Assessment and draft Equality Impact Assessment Scope and Methodology Reports. I am writing to inform you of the launch of two consultations for the next phase of High Speed Two (HS2), from Crewe to Manchester and the West Midlands to Leeds – known as Phase 2b.
These consultations are on draft Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and draft Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) Scope and Methodology Reports (SMRs), which inform the way in which the EIA and EQIA are undertaken. The Secretary of State for Transport recently announced the Government’s decision on the route for the next phase of HS2: Crewe to Manchester and the West Midlands to Leeds. Construction of Phase 2b is expected to start in 2023 ready for the railway to begin operations by 2033. To obtain the legal powers to build and operate this part of the railway, the Government intends to deposit a hybrid Bill in Parliament during 2019. To prepare for the hybrid Bill, the Government has commissioned consultants to undertake an EIA and prepare an Environmental Statement (ES). The EIA will identify the likely significant environmental effects and appropriate measures to mitigate such effects. The draft EIA SMR consultation document is available online at www.gov.uk/hs2 At the same time, to inform the development of the Phase 2b scheme, the Government has commissioned consultants to undertake an EQIA and prepare an EQIA report. The EQIA will identify any particular groups with protected characteristics that may be disproportionately affected, and actions that may be necessary to limit such effects if they arise. The draft EQIA SMR consultation document is also available online at www.gov.uk/hs2 18 July 2017 We are now asking local authorities, relevant statutory bodies and national interest groups along the route to comment on the draft EIA SMR and draft EQIA SMR, to inform the way in which the EIA and EQIA are undertaken. Responding to the consultations Arup is co-ordinating the analysis of responses to these consultations. There are separate online and email response mechanisms for each consultation. Please use the correct response channels for each consultation you respond to. The FREEPOST address is the same for both consultations. To respond to the draft EIA SMR consultation you can:
