Tackling incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour across the area

We are fully committed to addressing incidents of anti-social behaviour (ASB) across the area, and we are aware that this continues to be a daily concern for many residents. While we are taking action on various forms of ASB, one of the most significant issues we are facing at the moment is the nuisance caused by off-road bikes.

Off-road bikes have been causing disruption and posing a safety risk in several parts of our community. Their use in public spaces, often at high speeds, has led to disturbances for residents, damage to property, and even dangers to pedestrians and other road users. We understand the frustration this causes and are prioritizing efforts to tackle this issue head-on.

We also encourage the public to report any sightings or incidents involving off-road bikes to help us respond swiftly and effectively. Together, we can help reduce this nuisance and protect the safety and well-being of our community.
