Car meet chaos

As a result of chaotic scenes, on roads around Manchester Airport, Cheshire Police have issued a dispersal order.

The car meets over the last few weeks have attracted hundreds of drivers and observers eager to soak up the sights and smells of V8 and V12 power.

According to the police there have been reports of high powered motor vehicles driving dangerously causing excessive noise and anti-social behaviour – causing alarm and distress to local residents.  

Cheshire Police stated: “As part of ongoing efforts to tackle the issue officers have now issued a dispersal order which will be in place from 10am on Saturday 15 March until 10pm on Sunday 16 March.

“The order has been put in place following multiple reports of offences being committed on the A34 over the last few weeks, as well as several social media messages about a car meet planned in the area this weekend.

“Many of the messages suggest that the meet has been authorised by Cheshire Police. These messages are false, and Cheshire Police has not given authorisation to any car meets in the area.

“Any criminal offences being committed will be dealt with robustly both during and post event.”
