Milton Keynes City Council seeks views on extending car cruising restrictions
It refers to offences linked to speeding and dangerous driving
Milton Keynes City Council is inviting residents and businesses to comment on proposals to extend measures aimed at tackling dangerous and anti-social car cruising.
The council introduced a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in 2022, allowing police and authorised officers to address vehicle-related anti-social behaviour such as street racing, reckless driving, and public nuisance.
The order is currently due to expire in January 2026, and the council is proposing a three-year extension.
Since the PSPO came into effect, more than 400 incidents of dangerous or disruptive driving have been dealt with through enforcement in partnership with Thames Valley Police.
In recent months, following reports of noise and nuisance, enforcement activity has increased.
This has included additional police patrols, arrests, and vehicle-related fines. Specialised CCTV cameras have also been installed in various locations to monitor activity.
Cabinet Member responsible for Community Safety, Cllr Mick Legg, said:
“We know that most car enthusiasts are responsible, but there is a clear line between enjoying a hobby and putting others in danger.
“The safety of our residents comes first and we’ll continue to take tough action against anyone who puts lives at risk.
“This consultation is an opportunity for people to tell us what’s working well in curbing these activities and how we can make further improvements.”
Further information and details on how to respond to the consultation are available on the Milton Keynes City Council website.
The consultation runs until 27 October 2025.
