People living nearby have had enough
Residents of a quiet Nottinghamshire town have said they hear "horrendous" noise from car meets at a nearby tram park and ride. Those living around Katherine drive, with its houses separated by just a field from Toton Lane Park and Ride have said the popping, screeching and revving engines is "driving them insane."
"I don't have any issue with people wanting to meet up. But what I can not tolerate are the constant revving of the engines, the popping and the screeching." "I like nice cars, car noise does not bother me, the exhausts do not bother me, but the noise makes my dogs go nuts. I have a seven and a nine-year-old who cannot hear it, but it gets the dogs going, the screeching tyres must really bother them, so I have to turn the TV up and then that bothers the kids, so it has this knock-on effect - it's horrendous."
"It's been going on for about a year or two," added the retired doctor. It's a peaceful area, it's an area that people in Toton and Long Eaton want to live." Some living close by have described the noise as anti-social behaviour, and have called for action to be taken to stop the meets. But some claimed to have not heard the cars at all.
“While we don’t receive a large volume of calls from local residents about this site, it is still one of our many priorities for the area of Toton and if it becomes an ongoing issue then we will put resources in place to address it.”
