So to recap...
Stafford Borough Council is set to renew its existing Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) in December...
And "the existing town centre PSPOs, which aim to prevent nuisance behaviour in designated areas, already restrict alcohol consumption in the street".
But the intention is to extend them, in "new measures", to include "a ban on cycling, roller skating, skateboarding and scooters in designated areas".
Which presumably, in a continuation of the aim to prevent nuisance behaviour, means now that "cycling, roller skating and scooters", is unequivocally and in all circumstances 'nuisance behaviour'.
In designated areas.
At the same time that e-scooter trials begin.
In those designated areas.
Do you remember when people talked about 'joined-up' Government? It almost seemed possible for one beautiful decade.
