Priority:
Reports of car meets / car cruising at various locations across Stafford Borough which include Trentham (Monkey Forest Island A34) , Tittensor, Meaford, Darlaston and Stone which are causing a danger to road users, pedestrians and those involved due to the high speeds the vehicles are driven at which increases risk of injury or serious harm.
Action taken:
Social media post shared on Stafford Borough Police Facebook page and also Stoke Police Facebook page due to close proximity to the border, to increase awareness around risk as proactive response to the problem. The Social Media post also provides information around a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in place for the A34 between Trentham and Stafford in relation to historic issues around car meets/cruising in a attempt to manage further issues. This is alongside the issue of 23 Community Protection Warnings (CPW's) to keepers of vehicles from two incidents whereby vehicles have been reported as being involved/engaging in the reported activity.
