Merseyside Police is to clampdown on anti-social drivers in Bromborough.

The force has obtained a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) to deal with nuisance vehicles in the area.

​The order will remain in force until March 19, 2020 and will apply to Stadium Road, Old Hall Road, Riverwood Road and Riverbank Road. ​

Sergeant Katie Wilkinson from the Local Policing Team said: “We have worked closely with our partners at the local council to gather evidence to support the PSPO.

"Now the order is in place and the signs have been installed we are seeking to educate local road users about the PSPO. Officers regularly patrol the area, and since the introduction of the PSPO, the incidence of vehicle-related antisocial behaviour in the area has reduced.

“While we were taking some photos today, we were approached by members of the public who work in the area, who were supportive of the order, as they have witnessed the damage caused by the antisocial behaviour.”

The order means that in the Restricted Area any person who continues to carry out the following activities from which they are prohibited commits an offence:

Racing any vehicle and/or driving or riding any vehicle at a dangerous speed and/or in an otherwise dangerous manner at any time;

Being part of a convoy or group of more than 10 vehicles between 7pm and 7am each day;

Driving and/or riding and/or parking any vehicle in a manner which causes or is likely to cause nuisance or annoyance to any person in the restricted area at any time;

Causing damage to any public highway, footpath, fence, street furniture or grass verge by the use of a vehicle at any time;

Photographing or recording or spectating at any activity prohibited at (i)- (iv)above at any time; and Littering at any time.
