Police to crack down on illegal street racing

It covers the area around the A34 near to junction 14 of the M6 through to the Poacher's Cottage in Trentham.

Under the order, people suspected to be causing alarm or distress can be ordered to leave the area, with the risk of arrest if it is ignored.

Officers would be patrolling the route following recent issues with street racing, and an increase in calls from concerned residents, said Ch Insp Giles Parsons.

"The minority who feel that they can use roads as race tracks, or car parks as performance areas, will be dealt with accordingly," he stated.
