Car enthusiasts urged to adhere to road laws ahead of potential gathering

Wiltshire Police have been made aware of plans for a potential car meet due to take place in the area this weekend and are putting plans in place to be able to respond appropriately.

A police spokesperson said “we understand the vast majority of those people who attend these events do so to engage with other like-minded car enthusiasts and we do not intend to prevent these individuals from meeting in a safe environment.

“However, recent events of this nature have involved a number of individuals acting in an anti-social manner, with a collision reported at one and a number of police cars damaged.
