Police have urged motorists to 'keep themselves and others safe' around Norton Road, Heath Hayes after reports of dangerous driving.
Officers say they have seen frequent gatherings of friends of Joshua Bradley, from Norton Canes, between 5pm and 8pm at the entrance of the crematorium.
The 21-year-old died after a collision on that road on April 6.
A small number of drivers in these gatherings have been reported to police for driving dangerously and causing concern amongst local residents.
Cannock local policing team Inspector Lee Walker, said: “We’re urging people to make sure they keep themselves and others safe on our roads following a number of concerns reported to local officers recently.
“We know that the vast majority of those meeting up to pay their respects to Joshua are doing so responsibly and safely, but we want to be clear that dangerous driving will not be tolerated and will be met with police action.
“Officers are continuing to support Josh’s family as much as possible during this tragic time.”
Josh’s family said: “We are supportive of the efforts to keep everyone safe and that the local community is respected at this difficult time.
“We would also appreciate our privacy being respected as this time.”
