Police shut down an illegal rave in East Bristol on Saturday after more than 200 revellers descended on a Bristol skate park.

Police were called to the skate park under the M32 in Easton after “multiple residents” reported loud music being played “at an antisocial volume and causing significant issues”

One person was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs and the music was turned off shortly before 7pm, police said at the time.

Avon and Somerset Police said around 200 to 250 people were at the unlicensed event. When the Post attended the area yesterday morning, several bags of rubbish, alcohol bottles and balloon canisters could be found.

Maria Herteg, who has lived by the skate park for eight years, described the situation as a nightmare. The 35-year-old claimed parties are held at the skate park on a regular basis, claiming it was as often as every other weekend in the summer.

Ms Herteg said she has previously complained to both the council and the police, adding her 18-year-old daughter has special needs and her anxiety is triggered by the loud music.
