28 Vehicles Owners Warned under Public Space Protection Order

In April, Cannock Police and Cannock Chase Council have worked in partnership to issue 28 vehicle owners with Public Space Protection Order warnings, for breaching the order by engaging, assisting or causing anti-social behaviour connected to the use of vehicles, at Linkway Retail Park, Cannock.

Staffordshire Police have received an increase in reports of anti-social driving at the location from the beginning of March 2026, with reports of illegal car meets, noise nuisance from tyres screeching and revving engines, and drivers performing stunts causing danger to members of public, and distress to local residents. This type of anti-social driving that the illegal car meet have generated will not be tolerated at the location. The picture taken on 7 April shows tyre marks left on the car park after one such car meet.

Any further breaches of the order will result in a Fixed Penalty Notice of £100. The Linkway property management are also working with Police and the Council to reduce anti-social behaviour at this location.

14 other vehicle owners have been sent advisory letters in respect of the PSPO. 1 vehicle owner was issued a Section 59 warning for donuting on the car park in the presence of a police officer.
