Action to prevent illegal street racing and drifting of cars on public and private roads in Peterborough

We the undersigned petition the council to We the undersigned petition Peterborough City Council to work with Cambridgeshire Police and relevant landowners to find a permanent solution to address the problem of illegal and dangerous street racing and drifting of cars on public and private streets, on industrial estates and business parks and in public and private car parks in Peterborough.

We refer in particular in Orton Southgate where residents have suffered years of disturbed sleep due to the noise generated by cars drifting in Orton Southgate Industrial Estate. Efforts by the police to curb this activity have been unsuccessful. We call on the council to introduce new measures (such as a Public Spaces Protection Order with consistent enforcement) and physical barriers to make the area unattractive to people who street race or drift cars and we call on the police to use all powers available to them to seize vehicles involved in these activities and to prosecute those who drive dangerously on our roads. We call on the council to work with the police to resolve these problems and make our roads safe again.
