Please find set out below the information in response to the above
request, Apologies for the delay:

No Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) have been issued by the council in
relation to rough sleepers.

There is a citywide Designated Public Places Order (DPPO) the police
enforce this but the council understands the police cite the regulation to
encourage people to give up alcohol or move on but there have been no
arrests in relation to a breach of the DPPO.

Community Protection Notices (CPNs) have not yet been implemented in the
city.

The police use the dispersal order, the council do not record their use of
it.

Injunctions (IPNAs) have not been used against rough sleepers.

Police will record arrests under the Vagrancy Act.

There is a Public Spaces Protection Order(PSPO) in place in some city
parks and open spaces but there have been no fixed penalty notices issued
or prosecutions to date.

The council recognises that some people who are rough sleepers are not
homeless.

The council will consider the use of all the sections of the Act in
resolving anti-social behaviour.

The council does not use defensive architecture, noise pollution or
wetting down to manage public spaces occupied by rough sleepers.
