Residents in Bridlington are being urged to report off-road motorbikes as part of a campaign to reduce antisocial behaviour (ASB) in the region.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council are working with Humberside Police to spread awareness of the issue and to step up enforcement against illegal usage of off-road motorbikes.
Bikes may only be ridden on private land with permission, and illegal usage can damage property and disrupt freshly ploughed farmland.
Humberside Police and East Riding Council are in the process of distributing leaflets to encourage residents to report this behaviour, and to remind perpetrators that illegally used off-road bikes can be seized and crushed.
Nigel Brignall, East Riding of Yorkshire council antisocial behaviour team manager said:
“Illegal off-road motorbikes can be dangerous and cause significant damage to property and community wellbeing. We highly encourage residents to report illegal off-road bikes so that action can be taken, and we are committed to taking strong action against antisocial behaviour wherever it occurs.”
PS Kevin Jones, Humberside Police said:
“The illegal use of off-road motorbikes ridden across private farmland can result in thousands of pounds worth of damage to crops, and have a significant impact on farmers, our food industry and wider communities.
“The partnership work involved between the Rural Task Force, local Neighbourhood Team, Op Yellow Fin Off Road Bike Team, Humberside Fire and Rescue Drone, East Riding of Yorkshire Council ASB Team and the local Farm Watch showcases the outstanding working relationship and commitment to tackling this pernicious form of anti-social behaviour. We are committed to taking positive action, utilising all available legislation, against those who commit antisocial Behaviour and criminal damage to Crops through use of illegal off road motorbikes.”
