A police banning order may be imposed on a whole borough after illegal raves and car meets caused 'sheer chaos' in the area.
Thousands of people from Manchester descended on Tamside Business Park, in Denton, for a prohibited car meet on July 19.
It comes after police were tipped off about a number of illegal raves in the area, the Manchester Evening News reports.
More than 4,000 revellers took part in an unlawful coronavirus party in the neighbouring borough of Oldham last month.
Greater Manchester Police is now considering issuing a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in the borough of Tameside.
The measure would allow police to prevent certain people from entering the area.
The illegal car meet, dubbed 'DMO Shutdown', on July 19 took place at JDK Autoworx garage.
It saw the streets taken over by car enthusiasts, who were filmed performing dangerous stunts and driving at speed.
Police received at least 79 calls from horrified residents as they watched cars performing wheelies and burnouts on the streets.
Other areas of Tameside have already been under close surveillance from police in recent weeks, following intelligence about a number of illegal raves.
More than 4,000 people attended a 'quarantine rave' at Daisy Nook Country Park in neighbouring Oldham earlier in the year, where one man died following a suspected drug overdose.
Another illegal rave was prevented by officers in Tameside, which had been due to take place on July 18.
In a letter addressed to Andrew Gwynne, Labour MP for Denton and Reddish, police said they were 'looking at' a PSPO covering the whole of Tameside in light of recent events.
The banning order would give police the powers to fine, arrest or remove people from the area if officers suspect they are there to attend an illegal event.
Superintendent Jane Higham said: "We are currently looking at a Public Space Protection Order for the whole of Tameside to prevent and enforce the compliance in the future around events of this type.
"Preventative work is key and once an event like this is up and running, getting them stopped is extremely difficult."
Supt Higham said the force had no prior intelligence about the car meet on July 19, despite the event having been advertised on social media 24 hours before.
She said the scale of the event "escalated quickly", with 200 vehicles arriving within the first 46 minutes of the meet.
A man has since been interviewed by police in connection with the event.
Mr Gwynne said he welcomed the news that police were considering the imposition of a Public Protection Order.
Mr Gwynne said: "Any power that helps the police and local authorities to prevent the shut down of a community like Denton and the sheer chaos and disregard for the law we saw last week has to be welcomed."
The exact details of what the PSPO would include have not yet been confirmed.
Stockport already has a similar banning order in place.
Mr Gwynne believes the order would give police the power to prevent people entering the borough if they fear they are travelling to an illegal event.
He said: "We have been looking at having an order to cover the whole borough of Tameside that would prevent any kind of illegal events from happening.
"It would give police sufficient powers to stop these events from happening in a way they were not able to before.
"If a PSPO had been in place when the car meet took place then police could have turned cars away.
"It just sends out another message that the people of Tameside are not happy for their community to be open for illegal activity.
"I think residents will just be happy that things are happening as a result of their complaints."
Police said on July 23 that a man has been interviewed by officers in connection with the "illegal car cruising event".
The force said a 25-year-old man voluntarily attended an interview.
A representative from Tameside Council's environmental health team was also present, police added.
