 Police talk over issues with car cruisers at Great Yarmouth |
Car cruisers regarded as a local nuisance at a North Sea coastal resort are meeting police this weekend. The meeting at the Caister Road sports stadium in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, has heard vehicle owners claim that car cruising can be a harmless activity.
However, they have also admitted a small minority can bring down the reputation of the majority.
Police want to improve relations with the owners and to ensure activities stay within the law.
The so-called 'cruisers' have accepted displays of dangerous driving, playing of loud music and causing congestion on the roads were all unacceptable.
Positive image
A spokesman said: "We want to portray a more positive image. Most owners are just proud to show off their vehicles - that's a harmless activity."
Police say this weekend's event organised with car cruisers should help officers build a better relationship with the drivers.
They hope, in turn, it win them more tolerance and understanding from the public.
On Sunday there will be a display and series of competitions held at the stadium on Caister Road and many will then parade their cars along the golden mile.
