Agenda item

Report of the Head of Community Safety.

Members considered a report of the Head of Community Safety regarding the seeking of a Public Space Protection Order – London Marathon Related Disorder and the following points were made.

·         The Chairman noted that consultation on the Order would commence once the General Election had taken place and would be concluded by the end of January 2020.

·         The T/Commander (Operations) supported the proposal, noting that the level of policing required in previous years for that event was disproportionately high.

·         The Commissioner noted that the ability of the Force or the Authority to charge Virgin London Marathon for associated policing costs was hindered by several legal challenges nationwide regarding the charging of event organisers for associated costs.

RESOLVED, that the report be received.
