A52 Car Meets Spark Fear

Residents near the A52 are sounding the alarm over nightly car meets filled with roaring engines, backfires, and dangerous stunts like drifting and racing — a growing menace that’s turning neighborhoods into high-risk zones. Decades-long residents say they’ve had enough, demanding stronger enforcement like speed cameras and automatic number plate recognition to deter reckless drivers. While police claim to have stepped up patrols and issued summonses, locals say the noise and fear persist — and a past Public Spaces Protection Order has done little to stop the chaos. Councillors are rallying for another public meeting to amplify community voices, while police vow to crack down harder, citing a recent case where a young man faced prison for a deadly crash — a chilling reminder of the real, life-altering consequences of these dangerous gatherings.
