Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 20 July 2026

There have been reports of nuisance motorcycle activity in the area. In response, officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. While no offences were witnessed during these patrols, officers continue to monitor reports and gather information to help identify those responsible.

Some concerns have been linked to issues within private land managed locally. Officers are working with local community representatives and other partners to understand the issues and explore ways to address them.

Nuisance motorcycles remain a wider concern across the area, and officers continue to gather intelligence and investigate those believed to be involved. Where sufficient evidence is available, police can take enforcement action, including seizing motorcycles that are being used illegally or in an antisocial manner.

We encourage residents to continue reporting incidents, as information from the community helps officers identify offenders and target patrols where they are needed most.

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 20 July 2026

This continues to be an ongoing issue across the area. Officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised and will continue to target areas affected by the misuse of e-scooters.

As part of this activity, a number of e-scooters have been seized following offences being identified. Privately owned e-scooters cannot currently be used on public roads, cycle lanes or pavements, and riders found using them illegally may have their vehicle seized and face enforcement action.

Tackling the illegal use of e-scooters remains a policing priority, and officers will continue to carry out patrols and take appropriate action where offences are identified.
