Crackdown on boy racers and supercar drivers revving engines between Wilmslow and Alderley Edge

Drivers who rev their engines and cause other noise nuisance could face fines as part of a crackdown on boy racers and supercars in Cheshire.

A noise-activated camera is set to be introduced at a roundabout on the A34 Pendleton Way, between Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, later this month. The scheme is being trialled following complaints about noisy anti-social motorists on the busy bypass.

The camera, which is being funded by Cheshire East Council, will be installed around the Whitehall Bridge roundabout, which is reported to be among the main hotspots. The device can record all noise above an "acceptable level" and identify the responsible vehicles, allowing the police and council to take action against drivers.
