Street racing ban to be reviewed at hearing

An injunction banning street racing in the Black Country is to be reviewed.

It prevents people from participating in street racing as a driver, rider or passenger, as well as from promoting, organising or publicising gatherings, or participating as a spectator.

A spokesperson for the Wolverhampton City Council-led application said street racing was "anti-social" and a "highly dangerous" activity which had led to fatalities and serious injuries.

Those breaching the ban in the boroughs of Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton could face imprisonment, fines or have their assets seized. The full injunction was granted in February 2024 and lasts until 2027, subject to an annual review.
