Drivers slapped with tickets after 'car meet' in sleepy village near Greater Manchester
A handful of tickets have been dished out by police 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.
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. One ticket was handed out for a driver having insecure load likely to cause danger while another ticket was issued to a driver for not being in proper control of a vehicle. Chief Inspector John Forshaw, of Cheshire Police's Roads and Crime Unit, said: “While some people might think we are ruining their fun and enjoyment, what we’re actually doing is trying to prevent serious harm on our road network.
“During Saturday’s car meet, there were some reports from concerned residents about the speed and noise however, this was swiftly dealt with by officers.” Patrols descended on Chelford for the 'car meet', supported by officers from the Roads and Crime Unit, a police motorbike and drone.
