Police Disperse Surrey Car Meet Amid Rising Concerns
Authorities have implemented a dispersal order in parts of Surrey due to growing concerns surrounding a scheduled car meet. This initiative aims to ensure public safety and maintain order in the region.
Details of the Dispersal Order
The dispersal order will be effective from 16:00 GMT to 04:00. Its coverage includes:
- Cobham Services
- Brooklands Industrial Estate in Weybridge
- Waterside Drive in Walton-on-Thames
Aims and Concerns
Surrey Police has introduced this measure to combat the potential for anti-social driving. Authorities are focused on reducing disturbances faced by both residents and road users.
Inspector Chris Thoday, the borough commander for Elmbridge, highlighted that previous car meets led to “significant disruption” on the M25 near Cobham Services. This history prompted the preemptive action to maintain public order during events.
