There has been an increase in the use of illegal off-road motorbikes being ridden dangerously (specifically in the Castle Donington area).We have:
Increased high visibility patrols in the areas affected by this and pro-actively sought to catch offenders and enforce where legally possible. We will also look to develop intelligence around the owners / riders whilst working with partner agencies and the Public.Some great work has been completed with land owners which looks like it is going to result in some extensive security fencing / bollards etc on some prominent land in the area which for years has attracted anti social off road motor bikers.
