Plans to ban car cruising on busy Staffordshire road backed by more than 150 people

Stafford Borough Council is planning to impose a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) along the A34 between Trentham and Junction 14 of the M6 to tackle issues that have sparked several complaints and requests for police attendance.

A three-week consultation on the proposed order met with 186 responses to the council.

And 93 per cent of those responses were in favour of the measure, which would ban car cruising and car meets along the area covered by the order for three years, a report to Thursday’s cabinet meeting said.

It added: “Over a six-month period there have been over 40 complaints and requests for police attendance regarding this matter. The behaviour causes noise nuisance and road safety concerns in the locality.
