Assuming he hasn’t done this already, surely he just needs to put up a big sign saying, “No organized bike meets permitted, violators will not be served.” Then make sure it isn’t blatantly violated and he’s done what he can.
No because the definition of an "organised meet" has not been made. Is it 2 people? 20? What if one group of 5 bunps into another group of 5 and they happen to know each other? Is that organised or chance (and can it be proved either way)?
Ayway, it seems there's some further positive development:

There was of course that most excellent bit of legislation from the late 80’s spawned from the Poll Tax or raves IIRC whereby gatherings of 3 or more people were to be deemed illegal and very much subject to police interference.
Just invoke that one.

It was 1994 (Criminal Justice Act) and would probably require said gathered cyclists to be listening to 'repetitive beats' whilst in attendance.
Repetitive beats.
Would someone demonstrating a creak from their crankset every revolution count.lol😆

We’re pleased to announce that @RBWM have today withdrawn their application for an injunction against @thevelolife
We all assumed it would end like that...
Awaiting the FoI requests to the council as to how much money they've squandered on this over the last 2 years.
If the complainant is who it's alleged to be (local councillor) he should be sacked for misconduct in a public office.
Ummm. I rather think you started it
Did he invade Poland?
Dammit, i kinda wanted to see RBWM get laughed out of court.
Could use the crowd fund monies to launch a claim for loss of business or something?
Business apparently boomed on the back of this publicity, not sure there's a loss to pursue.
Would like the council's actions to be properly scrutinised. Local government ombudsman....?
What a waste of public money. Hope this bites the bitter bugger in his/her ass.
Whoever it was needs finding and a misconduct in a public office charge applied to them. (If it can be made to stick).
