Car cruise activity on the A511 Ashby bypass and surrounding areas

You said - Car cruise activity on the A511 Ashby bypass and surrounding area continues to be a matter of concern.

*As a Neighbourhood Policing Area we have continued to target this location and regularly respond to calls of erratic / dangerous driving along that stretch of Road by persons involved in car cruise activity. We are dealing with those identified as involved accordingly.

* We attend in response to calls from you for spontaneous incidents and we also monitor social media in advance to arrange our attendance on planned events.

*We want to put longer term measures in place so that there are clearly identified areas where this activity becomes a specified offence and so there are additional enforcement opportunities available to us to deter this from continuing. We are working with North West Leicestershire District Council on a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in order to achieve this.
