Car Meet Goes Ahead in Alderley Edge Despite 36-Hour Police Dispersal Order

Police threaten vehicle seizures to curb repeated noisy gatherings.

Overview

  • The 36-hour order runs from 10am Sunday to 10pm Monday covering Alderley Edge’s centre and a stretch of the A34.
  • Officers in marked and unmarked cars and on foot stopped motorists for loud revving and issued warnings that escalate to vehicle seizure on a repeat offence.
  • Dozens of spectators gathered on London Road as supercars and vintage vehicles passed through despite the heightened enforcement.
  • Cheshire Police reiterated that the gatherings are not authorised by the force or local councils after false claims circulated online.
  • Residents reported safety risks, nuisance noise and obstructive parking, while the force also signalled use of penalty notices, insurer notifications and prosecutions for breaches.
