Street racing - Ramsons Way/Goscote Lodge Crescent, Walsall

Dear residents,

We have been notified of an on going problem on and around the area of Ramsons Way/Goscote Lodge Crescent, Walsall of street racing- we understand this has caused a great deal of stress for residents- we as a neighbourhood team will try our very best to patrol the location to help deter this behaviour.

Street racing is the illegal racing of any kind of vehicle on a public road.

Street racing is extremely dangerous as it can involve high speeds, weaving through traffic and ignoring traffic signals like red lights. This obviously puts other road users and members of the public in an extremely dangerous position.

The only time street racing is permitted is when the organiser has obtained prior permission from the police as part of an organised event.

Street cruising is when a group of vehicle owners form a convoy and drive up and down a street or around a neighbourhood – usually to show off their cars or bikes. They’ll often drive slowly and may even take up both sides of the road. This can hold up traffic behind and make things really difficult for other road users.

Should any person/s have any footage and or further details regarding any of the vehicles or person/s causing the issues at the location of Goscote Lodge Crescent/Ramsons Way, Walsall please contact 101/live chat quoting 20/242754/26. 

The local neighbourhood team will be holding drop X2 drop in sessions on the 13th May-
