Crackdown at Birmingham Ramadan pop up markets

Residents near Ramadan pop-up markets in Birmingham have said more needs to be done to crack down on anti-social behaviour.

The stalls, which operate after sunset on Coventry Road in Small Heath, had been blamed for causing traffic congestion and litter by people living nearby last year.

West Midlands Police said 295 people had received fixed penalty notices for parking offences, with about 340 cars moved for obstructing roads.

The force previously said it would work with mosques and community groups to ensure Ramadan was observed safely, following a series of incidents last year.
