"Councillor calls for action on illegal car meets"- BBC News

This article originally appeared on BBC News on 17 March. A Westminster councillor has accused the local authority of failing to protect residents and visitors from dangerous illegal car meets. Councillor Rachael Robathan, a Conservative representing Knightsbridge and Belgravia, said she has pressed the Labour administration for more than a year to introduce tougher measures. She is calling for the roundabout at the top of Exhibition Road to be resurfaced with a high‑friction material to deter racing and drifting, along with an injunction that would give police stronger enforcement powers. She said she organised a meeting at City Hall in January 2025 with cabinet support officers to push forward the resurfacing, where a quote was obtained for the work but no progress has followed. She told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "It is really disappointing that this administration, despite my repeated calls over the last 15 months, has completely failed to implement measures which would keep our residents and visitors safe."
