Car cruising events have been banned in a town where 17 spectators were injured in a collision last year.
Stevenage Borough Council has been granted the temporary injunction which runs until 7 December.
Two men charged with driving offences are due in court in December following the car cruise event in Stevenage on July 2019 when two cars were involved in a collision resulting in spectators being injured
Council leader Sharon Taylor said the the interim ban, granted at Luton County Court, also aimed to “prevent the associated anti-social behaviour and nuisance that comes with car cruising.”
The injunction allows police to arrest anyone who flouts it, including drivers, passengers and spectators, and also bans people from organising or publicising car cruises.
The council said it hoped the ban would be extended at a further court hearing on 7 December.
