An all-out ban on cycling in Brigg and Scunthorpe town centres has been proposed by North Lincolnshire Council... for tackling 'anti-social behaviour' and 'nuisance within communities', using the controversial PSPO. cycling
North Lincolnshire Council has suggested a complete cycling ban in parts of Brigg and Scunthorpe town centres that could come into effect from next year., which ends on March 27, has proposed “no cycling or riding a motorised scooter” in a number of streets of the two North Lincolnshire towns, under the Public Space Protection Order .
The council already has a PSPO since October 2021 that an officer can ask a cyclist to dismount if they ride in the pedestrianised areas of the town centres. Now, it seems that are trying to get rid of cyclists from these areas completely. While implementing the ban in 2021, council leader Rob Waltham said, “There are some areas where inconsiderate people behave in ways which we should not tolerate. It might be isolated but the impact is significant and where we can equip the council and partners with new powers we will.
“Anti-social behaviour is a blight on people’s lives and need to know that it will not be tolerated here.”Besides being keen to banish cyclists from town centres, the council is now also proposing a ban on drinking alcohol , as well as loitering or begging in almost the entirety of Scunthorpe. In neighbouring North East Lincolnshire, a similar PSPO ban on cyclists in Grimsby’s town centre has been in place since 2019, with over 1,000 fixed penalty notices issued as of last year targeting “anti-social and dangerous” behaviour., who was fined £100 for slowly cycling through the city centre. To his credit, Barrie did have a scorching reply for the council: “Stick it up your a*se”.
