Berry Head and Hope’s Nose are set to benefit from Public Space Protection Orders

Torbay Council is set to start consultation within the next month around putting Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO’s) at Berry Head and Hope’s Nose before the start of the mackerel season in May.

These orders will allow responsible fishing to occur but will tackle the unacceptable levels of anti-social behaviour that have happened at both locations in recent years.

Leader of Torbay Council, Councillor Steve Darling, said “Last summer this was a significant hot topic when I visited a community partnership meeting in Brixham. Since then, we have consulted with key stakeholders in the area and identified this approach as the best short-term measure in tackling this issue on both Berry Head Quarry and Hope’s Nose. We will continue to put pressure on the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities who need to step up to the mark to tackle the inappropriate fishing that occurs at these locations.”

Councillor Mike Morey, Cabinet Member for Infrastructure, Environment and Culture said, “A public spaces protection order has previously been deployed at Hope’s Nose, with good success. By twin tracking such orders at both beauty spots in Torbay we hope to tackle this over this summer. Within this PSPO we plan to add an additional clause which will prevent the removal of minerals from the site and also to make it clear that if problems persist this summer, we may have to escalate the powers of the PSPO.

“There needs to be appropriate levels of enforcement to ensure this PSPO has the impact that we all desire and we will be working on this over the next few weeks.”

The consultation on these PSPO’s will be available soon on Torbay Councils Have Your Say webpages – https://yoursay.torbay.gov.uk/
