The council is
working with the Community Safety Partnership to help reduce
motorcycle problems in the borough.
The CSP has put up signs in problem areas, and built barriers at
Thornbury Underpass leading to Tawd Valley Park to stop Riders
trespassing. Areas in Skelmersdale - which tends to suffer more
than other places because of its open network of footpaths and
countryside - will also be targeted.
Motorbike leaflet
As part of this action, motorcycle riders, or people who sufferer
motorcycle nuisance, can now get an advice leaflet to address and
educate people on the problems created through nuisance or illegal
off-road motorcycles, Quad bikes or Go-peds.
The leaflet contains:
- advice for those who suffer from this type of problem and how
they can report incidents
- information to inform riders about groups they can get in touch
with to ensure they are riding legally
- the action that Police can take if people are caught using
their bikes in an anti-social manner
- advice for parents
- types of offences and the penalties that motorcyclists can
incur as a result if they are not a safe/legal rider
- and vehicle security information
