Bradford Council is planning to take advantage of new, wide-ranging powers to help the police deal with anti-social vehicle use.
Councillors on the Regulatory and Appeals Committee which meets at City Hall on Thursday 7 March, will be asked to approve the implementation of a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) covering the whole of the district.
This will relate to a number of issues which can be classed as anti-social use of motor vehicles. These include excessive noise, causing a danger to other road users (including pedestrians), damage or risk of damage to property, playing loud music, shouting, swearing or making sexual suggestions from a motor vehicle.
Where such or similar behaviour is likely to act as a detriment to people’s quality of life in an area, the culprits can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice of £100 for breaching the PSPO.
Recent figures collected by Bradford Council suggests that reports of anti-social behaviour involving vehicles has risen from 597 incidents in the year ending in March 2015 to 866 incidents in the year to March 2018.
