Drivers slapped with fines after 'car meet' in sleepy village near Greater Manchester

Drivers were slapped with fines after a 'car meet' took place in a peaceful Cheshire village. Officers handed out nine tickets following the event in Chelford, near Alderley Edge, at the weekend.

Cheshire Police says the majority of those who took part in the event on Saturday (October 8) did so while 'respecting local residents'. But with regular reports of speeding cars and revving engines being made to the force, officers descended on the quiet village to keep an eye on proceedings.

Two tickets were issued to drivers using a mobile phone, while two were issued for not wearing a seatbelt and one was issued for having no MOT. A further ticket was issued for having an unauthorised flashing light or warning beacon, while one driver was issued a ticket for driving without due care.
