A council is considering continuing a ban on car cruising events on Scarborough’s seafront.

The ban was imposed in 2018 after a number of incidents, and Scarborough Council is asking for comments on it in a consultation.
Car Cruising sees enthusiasts meet up and travel to a set location to show off their vehicles.
One of the largest events saw hundreds of cars congregate on Marine Drive and Royal Albert Drive in the town’s North Bay.
Roads in the seaside town were damaged and left with tyre rubber on the surface in 2017.
It was also thought the cars could pose a risk to pedestrians and some participants were speeding and creating a disturbance.
Fines of up to £1,000 can be handed out to anyone breaking the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO).
It means any driver in a group of two or more who is posing a risk to other road users, playing loud music or is deemed to be taking part in anti-social behaviour could fall foul of the legislation.
The council consultation document concludes: “It is the view of North Yorkshire Police, North Yorkshire County Council and Scarborough Borough Council that the PSPO needs extending in order to prevent the recurrence of the significant issues caused by this activity prior to the current PSPO being implemented in 2018.”
