Crackdown on vehicle-related antisocial behaviour in Mansfield

Mansfield Neighbourhood Team North are aware of ongoing concerns regarding vehicle-related anti-social behaviour in the Forest Town area.

Residents have reported issues including excessive engine revving, unnecessary use of horns, racing and dangerous driving and gatherings causing disruption to residents and businesses.

Areas of concern include Asda in Old Mill Lane, and Jangos in Sandlands Court Forest Town and the Forest Town area.

In response to reports from the community, local neighbourhood officers will be increasing patrols in these areas and taking robust action against those responsible.

A Mansfield Neighbourhood Team North spokesman said: “Drivers involved in anti-social use of vehicles can expect enforcement action. Section 59 warnings and vehicle seizures remain available to officers, and where the legal threshold is met, vehicles causing anti-social behaviour will be seized and removed.

“We want everyone to enjoy their vehicles responsibly, but behaviour that puts others at risk or causes distress to the local community will not be tolerated.

“If you witness vehicle-related anti-social behaviour, please report it to Nottinghamshire Police so we can continue to target those responsible.”
