Police plan patrols over reported Junction Nine car meet
Cheshire Police says the event advertised for Saturday 24 October is unauthorised and officers will target dangerous driving and antisocial behaviour.
Cheshire Police says social media posts have advertised an unauthorised car meet at Junction Nine Retail Park in Warrington on Saturday 24 October 2026.
The force says the event has not been authorised by the retail park’s landowner, the police or the local authority. Uniformed and plain-clothes officers are expected in the area, with police warning that available road-traffic and antisocial-behaviour powers may be used.
The notice is a preventative warning about a reported future event. It does not establish that the meet will take place, and no road closure or public travel restriction was announced in the police article when checked.
