The City of Lincoln Council's Public Space Protection Order Number 2 of 2018 (the "Order) has been reviewed, renewed and varied for a period of 3 years.

This renewal and variation of the 2018 order may be cited as the City of Lincoln Council Public Spaces Protection Order Number 2 of 2018.

The City of Lincoln Council ("the Council") in exercise of its powers under Sections 59, 64 and 72 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 ("the Act") and under all other enabling powers, hereby makes the following Order:

1. Pursuant to the 2018 Order this Order shall come into operation on 24th March 2025 and under the provision of Sections 60 and 61 of the Act the 2018 Order.
2. The 2018 Order, as varied and renewed by this order, shall have effect for 3 years hereafter, unless discharged, varied, or extended by further orders under the Council's statutory powers.
3. This Order relates to that part of the City of Lincoln as shown edged red on the attached plan ("the Exclusion Zone").
4. 5. The Council is satisfied that the conditions set out in Section 59(2) of the Act have been met. Namely that anti-social behaviour and criminal activities have been carried out within the Exclusion Zone through the use of intoxicating substances. These activities have had a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality, and it is likely that activities will be carried out within that area and have such an effect.
5. The Council is also satisfied that the conditions set out in Section 59(3) of the Act have been met. Namely, that the effect or likely effect of the activities is, or is likely to be, of a persistent or continuing nature and that these activities are unreasonable and justify the restrictions imposed by this Order and that it is in all the circumstances expedient to make this Order for the purpose of reducing crime and/or anti-social behaviour in a public place.

Requirement of the order:

The area shown on the Exclusion Zone map known as St Peters Passage, Lincoln is to be gated at both the High Street and Mint Lane Entrance in such a way as to prevent public access.  

Appeals:

In accordance with section 66 of the Act, any interested person who wishes to challenge the validity of this Order on the grounds that the Council did not have the power to make the Order or that a requirement under the Act has not been complied with may apply to the High Court within six weeks from the date upon which the Order is made.
