Overview
- South Cambridgeshire District Council has issued a site-specific Public Spaces Protection Order for Milton Park and Ride after a consultation of 125 people, with 118 supporting tougher action.
- Councillors cite persistent late-night disturbances including speeding, racing, engine revving, loud music and threatening behaviour affecting nearby residents.
- The order empowers authorities to issue a fixed-penalty notice for a first offence to provide a swift deterrent to antisocial driving.
- Officials say implementation is now underway to protect quality of life, with the measures framed as a proportionate response to ongoing problems.
- Police previously intervened on an ad hoc basis, and councillors say the new powers will help stop disturbances more quickly.
