DRIVERS are being warned as police step up action against anti-social behaviour at car meets this weekend.
Authorities in Alderley Edge have issued a dispersal order to curb disruption in the affluent village, which is popular with Premier League stars.

The order, in effect until 10pm on Sunday, allows officers to break up groups causing a nuisance.
It follows reports of reckless driving, excessive noise, and anti-social behaviour linked to previous car meets.
Police say offenders risk having their vehicles seized, receiving fines, and even prosecution.
The dispersal zone meets covers main roads and key surrounding streets.
Authorities took action after multiple offences were reported in recent weeks and social media posts hinted at a planned gathering in the area.
Today, the Turbo Tribe car group is holding a ‘drive day’ in the area.
Organisers say they are working with the police to ensure the event remains safe and lawful.
They clarified that the dispersal order targets anti-social behaviour, not law abiding car enthusiasts.
Turbo Drive posted on Instagram: “A dispersal order is in place.
“This does not entirely affect our event.
“Police will be present and have powers to disperse individuals engaging in anti-social behaviour, including excessive revving.
“However, photographers, visitors, and those driving safely in convoys are not affected.”
Chief Inspector Zoe Bowden of Macclesfield Police reassured locals: “We understand the frustration and anger that illegal car meets cause.
“This dispersal order demonstrates our commitment to tackling the issue.”
We have a zero-tolerance approach, and action will taken against those who break the law.”
Past car meets in the region have attracted hundreds of high performance vehicles, with reckless driving and excessive noise causing distress to residents.
Police are urging anyone witnessing anti-social behaviour to report it, warning that offenders will face consequences both during and after the event.
We live in UK’s ‘poshest’ area where corner shop drinks cost FOUR THOUSAND pounds
By Freya Parsons
RESIDENTS living in the UK’s ‘poshest’ place rub shoulders with celebrities and royals – while the local corner shop sells wine for over £4,000.
On average, flats around Battersea Power Station, in South West London, cost a whopping £1.2million – but those that can afford it may get a view of TV adventurer Bear Grylls doing pull ups on the roof.
The Wild Weekends star reportedly knocked three properties into one to build a staggering £20 million mega-apartment.
And locals boast of spotting other famous faces – including singer Sting – every day following a £9 billion transformation of the area.
Power station worker Kasea told the Sun she works for a number of the world’s richest – but was remaining otherwise tight-lipped.
She said: “I can’t tell you who I work for but it’s someone pretty famous but there are a lot of famous people who live here, especially in the power station.
“I even see one of them every single day. I also see Bear Grylls, and Sting.
“I’m lucky to work around people who are really from the first pages, even the Queen’s family as well.”
Kasea described spotting Grylls, 50 – who lives with wife Knight and their three kids – getting sweaty above his luxury abode.
She said: “Yesterday he was doing pull ups on the roof, which I could see really clearly.”
Meanwhile, the pull of the area means even those who have since moved away keep coming back.
Taking full advantage of the wealthy clientele is The Battersea General Store, with MD Raj Bathia claiming he has even served world leaders.
The 46-year-old’s pride and joy is his curated wine selection, which brought a glitter to his eyes when asked about it.
And why not – some of it’s priced up at £4,250 a bottle.
Going into his expert spiel, Raj explained: “You’ve got to swirl it. Let it open, it’s been in a bottle. It’s compressed, it’s been in there tight.
“Give it a chance to breathe at least. Literally, let it breathe. Then you swirl it, you enjoy it. Smell it. Give anything a bit of attention and you’ll start to see it in a beautiful way.”
He went on to explain he sees famous people “on a daily basis because a lot live here”.
“And then you have a lot that come and visit us specially,” he continued.
