Motorbikes being used illegally can and will be seized, and riders reported for multiple offences. 👨👩👧 Parents and carers
If your child owns or uses an off‑road bike, please ensure it is being used lawfully and responsibly. Residents have raised concerns about the safety of members of the public and the riders themselves, with a real risk of serious injury. 🚨 A quick reminder
