BOY racers have been warned that South Yorkshire Police will be conducting more patrols along Cudworth’s ‘race track-like’ bypass as a result of reports.

Believed to have increased over the summer months, police and council teams have attended the location which connects Cudworth to Shafton.

A police report said: “This has been an ongoing situation with ad-hoc performance cars meeting up in very large numbers, using the bypass as a race track.

“Excess speed and drifting displays have occurred, creating risks to other road users along with associated noise nuisance.

“The team continues to work with council wardens and the CCTV vehicle in conjunction with roads policing group who are tasked to the location whenever commitments on a Sunday evening allow.”
