The residents overwhelmingly backed the proposed fines for those who take part in car meets in the area
A borough council has officially "declared war" on car meets in the area after they were overwhelmingly supported by members of the public to impose £100 instant fines on offenders.
The public consultation — an online survey — received 350 responses, with 98% demanding action. The antics mentioned by the council involve secret car meets often attended by dozens to watch cars do "doughnuts" and drive recklessly while supporters stand by the road, often filming. "A viral video that was posted online after being taken from a bridge over the 40mph dual carriageway showed a BMW performing 'doughnut' stunts as it circled a roundabout while pursued by a police van. Another video, which was posted on YouTube, showed dozens of drivers revving their engines nearby on Ilkeston’s Manners Industrial Estate."
