Sir Robert Buckland says car meets are causing misery in Swindon and is pushing for increase surveillance in the town.

The South Swindon MP has written to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps about the problem of anti-social vehicle behaviour.

He began the letter by explaining that this is a long-standing issue and explains how he began a local speeding and anti-social vehicle behaviour campaign in 2019 "as the emails I received from concerned residents began to rise weekly".

He later explains how the problem impacts residents and how they're unable to sleep.

He said: "The lack of sleep, stress, and anxiety that this issue is causing has massively impacted on the lives of many local people.

"Education is affected in local schools, and the local economy has also been affected, not to mention the impact on the local NHS."

He ended the letter by suggesting acoustic cameras should be trialled in Swindon as a way to fight the problem of anti-social vehicle behaviour.

Sir Robert wrote: "I am extremely keen for acoustic cameras to be trialled here in Swindon, where this issue has a massive impact on the lives of local residents, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter."
