Sutton Coldfield German Donor Kebab restaurant closed ahead of planned car gathering

A restaurant in Sutton Coldfield was shut down before an event that may attract a large number of car enthusiasts.

The notice prevents the German Donor Kebab on The Parade, Sutton Coldfield, from opening for a period of up to 48 hours, ending at 10.30am on December 22.

West Midlands Police said: “We took action because of concerns that a large number of motorists are planning to gather there this evening, potentially leading to significant anti-social behaviour in the area.

“We are speaking to other businesses who might be impacted by the event to reassure them that we have a plan in place to firmly deal with anti-social behaviour or traffic offences on the night.”

Extra officers, including specialist traffic officers, will be in the area and will take a tough approach to dangerous or careless driving or types of offences that happen tonight, according to the police.

“We’d urge anyone planning to attend to consider the impact that the event may have on Christmas shoppers and those living and working in the area,” they added.
