A report to the senior councillors says: “There has been consensus across districts that the appropriate way to address gating going forward is adopt a single order to streamline the gating project.
“Every scheme that has been established as a PSPO will be incorporated under the proposed order.
“This amendment will not affect the day to day management of alley-gate schemes.

The remaining 45 schemes, established under earlier legislation will be unaffected.
