Westminster Council Bans Illegal Car Meets

0:00On April 2nd, Westminster City Council just filed for a burrow-wide injunction to shut down illegal car meets and wild driving stunts tearing up their streets. This move, backed by neighboring Kensington and Chelsea, ramps up powers way beyond the current 100-pound fines from public space's protection, orders. Counselor Rachel Robothon, from Knightsbridge and Vellgravia, led the charge, thrilled the application hit the courts last week but wondering why it, dragged on so long under the current leadership. They've already hit drivers with 356 fixed penalty notices this financial year, including 54 on Exhibition Road alone, and reports show fewer meets popping up lately. Anti-skid surfaces roll out on Exhibition Road this April, teaming with police to keep clamping down and make these roads safe for everyone once more.
