Motorcyclists – Action Taken

It’s a long time since we have had problems with motorcycles in the park. In fact we have had none since the golf course project ‘opened up’ the park and made everywhere in the park more visible.

So it came as a shock last week when off road motorcycles returned to the park and caused not only damage to the grass but endangered visitors to the park. As a result of visitors actually standing up and being counted one youth has been arrested and dealt with by the police and two have been served with notices that mean that if they ride off road in that manner again their bikes can be seized and crushed.

Our thanks to the members of the public who gave details of the incident and were prepared to speak up. Also our thanks to the Safer Neighbourhood Team for the prompt and decisive action. Other offenders have yet to be dealt with by the police.
