I think the purpose of the is to placate one or more locals who are making a fuss by making the complaint which is presumably engine revving, fast acceleration etc. official. "Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) propose to deal with a particular nuisance in a particular area that is having a detrimental effect on the quality of life for those in the local community." At the same time it is like serving notice to everyone that you have been warned and we are watching you. I would expect to see some plod turning up for "friendly chats" to bike riders. Then cameras being installed on the road. Perhaps the assistant police types wandering about sometimes. Then I'd imagine that the bike riders will start to roll into the place like its Mother Theresa's front garden. And if they don't, some bike checks might start being made frequently and the friendliness of the coppers will diminish. But thats all purely a guess. [/i]
You have just described the goings on at Loomies on the A32/A272 crossroads and that’s been going on for a number of years and still the antisocial few continue to make a nuisance of themselves. I can think of several other meets that have over the years stopped or scaled down. The Lord Derby at Hook springs to mind and Avebury to name two. Andy
