A decision on whether to ban protestors who have harassed patients outside a South Liverpool abortion clinic has been delayed.
It had been expected that a trio of Liverpool Council members would take a decision tomorrow on whether to adopt a public space protection order (PSPO) around the British Pregnancy Advice Service (BPAS) Merseyside clinic in Aigburth following a consultation on anti-social behaviour outside the centre. However, a meeting of the authority’s highways and public spaces representations committee has been postponed as more information on the proposals is being sought.
Since early 2020, Liverpool Council in conjunction with colleagues from Merseyside Police, have been investigating concerns raised about behaviours associated with individuals and represented groups involved in protests and vigils outside the clinic in South Liverpool.
