The Section 30 order, which was introduced two weeks ago, gives officers the power to break up groups of two or more people at Slyfield industrial estate and Ladymead retail park if they believe their behaviour could cause harassment, alarm or distress to members of the public.

It was made specifically to tackle anti-social driving at the Guildford Cruise events for motor enthusiasts which, according to police, would lead to up to 30 people complaining every time they took place.

Organisers of the event, which takes place on the first Sunday of every month, said that they did not condone anti-social behaviour and would like to talk to the police about the issue, as so far they had had no contact with them.

The Section 30 dispersal order was made after complaints from members of the public relating to the excessive noise cause by spinning, so-called doughnut manoeuvres, drag racing, criminal damage, the use of foul language and littering.

Neighbourhood Sergeant Amy Buffoni said the new powers to disperse groups of two or more had seen an immediate impact.

“The cruise event can attract up to 300 cars and the behaviours demonstrated by some drivers can be very intimidating for those who live in the area or those who want to use the food outlet in the car park at Ladymead,” she said.

“We have seized a couple of cars and issued a number of fixed penalty notices for matters relating to anti-social driving and vehicle defects and the message certainly seems to be getting through.”

She added: “We have not had to issue any Section 30 notices as most people are choosing to leave voluntarily. We have also had some very positive feedback from local residents.”

According to the police, the Section 30 order was discretionary and would only be used to disperse groups causing problems.

The order came into effect after being approved by Neighbourhood Superintendent Rachel Tills and Guildford Borough Council on September 1, and will be in force until February 28 next year, being subject to regular reviews.

A spokesman for the Guildford Cruise said: “We appreciate that Surrey Police wish to ensure community safety and reduce anti-social behaviour in the area.

"We do not condone the actions of any individuals who choose to use their cars in an irresponsible manner.

“The Guildford Cruise is not a street racing event, and is intended purely to provide a place for car modification enthusiasts to meet.”

He added: “The popularity of the Guildford Cruise shows the need for a local event, organised in collaboration with local police and land owners.

"We have had no contact from Surrey Police regarding this recent dispersal measure, but would be keen on discussing the possibility of holding the event at an alternative location, with approval from local authorities.”

The next Guildford Cruise is set to take place on Sunday, October 3. It is billed as a meet for owners of modified and performance cars.
