Police now have the power to seize cars at roundabouts across Rochdale following a rise in anti-social behaviour linked to a number of car meets in the area.
Officers said there have been a ‘large number’ of vehicles meeting at locations in the Rochdale area, including the roundabouts at Stakehill, M627M and Slattocks.
As a result of the events, officers have placed a Section 59 notice on roundabouts in the borough. The order gives police the power to stop and seize vehicles if they are thought to be used in a manner which could cause alarm or distress, or involve careless and inconsiderate driving.
