There have been calls to crack down on car meets in Peterborough

A public consultation on plans to bring in a protection order at a city car park to clamp down on antisocial behaviour is due to end soon.

The Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) at Pleasure Fair Meadow car park is being proposed by Peterborough City Council.

The local authority has described the car park as a "hotspot" for unauthorised car meets and car cruising events.

Residents have until the end of Friday to share their views.

Anyone caught breaching the PSPO could be fined up to £1,000 or given a fixed penalty notice.

Once the consultation closes, responses will be considered before the council makes a recommendation.
