Police busted an illegal car meet earlier this year, handing out tickets and warnings. The owners, Synergie Portfolio Ltd, have been dormant since 2020, ignoring repeated council demands to secure the site. After legal action and a court order, workers sealed it off Friday — with fines or jail for anyone entering without permission. The council plans to recover costs from the owners, while the mayor and police applaud the move as a vital step toward safety and a long-term fix.
