NEIGHBOURS who live near to a Sainsbury’s car park have said the late-night noise is “getting out of hand” as drivers are spotted 'racing'.

Preetika Verma, of Dolphin Road in Slough, backs on to the Sainsbury’s Uxbridge Road car park and said the drivers “rev their engines” and chase each other.

She explained the issue has been going on since 2014 and nothing has been done about it.

And on Sunday, June 6, at around 12.45am Ms Verma was woken up again by the noise.

“It’s just hideous and I am so fed up of this,” she said.

“We all get woken up in the middle of the night and then we are having to wake up for work tired the next day because we’ve been kept awake by the noise.”

Ms Verma said it’s often only one car that is spotted but it is sometimes a couple more.

She explained it happened around five or six times a year and it goes on for around an hour each time.

And the drivers are said to be arriving at around midnight and leaving at 3am.

Ms Vema claims a gate to the car park is often left open overnight.

“I complain to Sainsbury’s all the time,” she said.

“I even called the police about this once and they told me they can’t do anything.

“Sainsbury’s has a gate at their entrance that they can close but they don’t and instead they are happy to allow these idiots to enter and wake up their neighbours.”

Ms Verma explained she also spoke to the manager at the Sainsbury’s Uxbridge Road store.

She added: “The manager said all the staff are scared when they come out of the building after finishing a shift.

“He explained he is going to try and ask the police to do patrol at night which might help.”

After multiple tweets from Ms Verma, Sainsbury’s took to Twitter on June 4 to confirm the relevant department is investigating the issue.

The tweet said: “Hi. Sorry there’s noise coming from the car park. I’ve fed this back to the relevant department and will be looked in ASAP. Take care.”

Slough Borough Council confirmed it has received reports of the issue in the past but that it is a police matter.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “Our local neighbourhood teams have been made aware of the issue in relation to car meets in the Sainsbury’s car park on Uxbridge Road, Slough, and the select number of attendees that cause anti-social behaviour and noise nuisance to the local community.

“We are working with local businesses to tackle the issue and will attend these types of incidents when we are able to.

“We encourage residents to continue to report incidents through 101 or using the TVP online reporting tool.

“It is important to remember that any drivers found to be using a vehicle in a manner which is causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public may be issued with a Section 59 Police Reform Act Warning, which can lead to their vehicle being seized, or a Community Protection Notice in line with the Anti-Social Crime and Police Act 2014.”

Sainsbury’s have also been contacted for an official statement.
