Local Priorities

Car Meets, Lyall Court, Flitwick

Regular unlicensed car meets are occurring at this location set up by specific organisers

Issued: 21 Jan 2026

Status Update

This PMP is still being progressed by the officers for Area 1.
A meeting was held on 17/12/25 in relation to the issues.
In attendance was Police, Council and a representative from each local business. As a result of the meeting it was established that the land where a gate was proposed was owned by the local businesses. They have all agreed to pay for a gate and have a keyholder for it. Council were happy with this. It was also suggested by police for the local businesses to have a whatsapp group for better communication and in case there are any issues with the gate. The local businesses have confirmed they are now in a whatsapp group so they can communicate better with each other. The gate is still in the process of being made prior to installation. There have been several patrols in the area and no reports of any car meets. A PSPO has gone to public consultation to prevent car meets in flitwick and this will close in 7 weeks time. The organiser of the car meets has also been issued a CPNW in order to combat the issues. This was devised by Police and issued by the council. This PMP has demonstrated a good use of joint working partnership utilising all available options. This PMP will remain in place until the gate has been installed and is in full use.
