Boy racers force action

A Shropshire car park has had to be closed to stop boy racers from tearing around it, causing concern among local residents.

Young drivers had been speeding around the Poles Coppice car park in Pontesbury, sparking complaints about anti-social behaviour.

Now Shropshire County Council has stepped in and closed the car park temporarily to try to curb the problem - and is working with police.

Gareth Egarr from Shropshire County Council said: "We are currently working with the local police to resolve the situation in Pontesbury."
