Barriers have been installed at a Stoke Bardolph industrial estate to prevent car cruising.

Teal Park at Stoke Bardolph has become a popular destination for shoppers and food fans during the day, with Birds, Aldi and Popeyes all recently opening their doors. But at night it has become a hotspot for car cruisers using the site as a race track.

Following complaints from residents about the car meets disturbing sleep, local Gedling Borough Councillors Sam Smith and Mike Adams have worked with the Teal Park land owner to get a barrier installed to stop the vehicles accessing the property at night.

At night Teal Park has become a hotspot for car cruisers using the site as a race track.

In a statement, Cllr Sam Smith and Cllr Mike Adams said: “Car cruisers have been taking place on the Teal Park industrial estate off Stoke Lane in Stoke Bardolph, disturbing our constituents in Stoke Bardolph and on the Rivendell estate.

“We have been working alongside residents, the police and the industrial estate landowners to prevent the car cruisers and we asked the Teal Park industrial estate landowners to install a barrier.

“We’re delighted that a barrier has now been installed to prevent access into the industrial estate when the retail units are closed.

“Action, not words. Another promise delivered by us on behalf of our constituents”. 

Residents are encouraged to continue to report any incidents of car cruising to the Police by calling 101 while the offence is taking place.
