Anti-Terrorism Traffic Regulation Order: 2018 Review

Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

Minutes:

Members considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding Anti-Terrorism Traffic Regulation Order (ATTRO) – 2018 Review and the following points were made.

 

·         The Director of the Built Environment noted that the ATTRO was only used once in 2018, compared to six times in 2017, which suggested it was being used proportionately. He noted that a review on whether ATTRO represented an appropriate policing tool could be included in the 2019 review, which would be reported to Members in January 2020.

 

·         In response to a question, the Commissioner of Police confirmed it was his view that ATTROs were a required capability for the City of London Police, one that was used sparingly and that was subject to appropriate checks and balances.

 

·         A Member who served on the Streets and Walkways Sub (Planning and Transportation) Committee noted that it had taken the view that ATTROs were a necessary capability for the City of London Police.

 

RESOLVED, that the report be received.
