A total of 22 separate incidents were recorded at Babraham Road Park and Ride between April 2024 and mid-January this year.

Babraham Road Park and Ride, between Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire, is facing ongoing issues of inconsiderate vehicle use, dangerous driving behaviour and vehicle stunts, as well as playing loud music, according to South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council.

Many of these issues are said to happen in the evening or late at night, and often continue past midnight.

Intelligence from the two councils also suggests that further gatherings are being planned, and that despite reports being made to police, cars often return after being dispersed,

Now the councils want to implement new measures to stop the antisocial behaviour.

They are proposing to introduce a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) covering the Babraham Park and Ride site.
