A formal OMBC consultation on a proposed Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Crompton Moor is to start today the 27th February 2017 and will run for 7 days.
The PSPO would help the police and council officers to address certain anti-social behaviour, and has been developed in response to concerns expressed by the public.
The consultation document and boundary map is available at Crompton Library, Farrow Street, Shaw, and is open to anyone who uses Crompton Moor or has an interest in it. A feedback form will be available for anyone to complete and will be available for the next 7 days.
PSPOs are intended to deal with nuisance or problems that are detrimental to the local community’s quality of life, by imposing conditions on the use of that area.
Myself and others have been trying to progress this for some time as with a PSPO some of the anti social activities that happen on the Moor from time to time will be able to be dealt with more effectively.
If you use/value the Moor, Brushes Clough and surrounding area please have your say.
Well for heavens sake put the draft order on here so we can see what its all about. A copy in the library is not good enough.
I posted what information I had. Users of the Moor in that week have also been consulted on the site.
I used to walk on Crompton moor virtually every day since I was nine years old. It was such a lovely peaceful place. Since Oldham council marketed the area several years ago I no longer go anywhere near the moor which is a shame after 30 years or so.
Adding a PSPO is of little use, who will Police it? The Police? Don’t make me laugh.
Top tip, anyone wanting to enjoy some peaceful countryside, go elsewhere, Crompton moor is lost.
Both I and the hundreds and thousands of people who use it would disagree.
