Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 20 July 2026

Reports of nuisance motorcycles have reduced following the use of Community Protection Warnings (CPWs). A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning issued when a person's behaviour is having a negative impact on the community.

Officers continue to work with the local council to install signage explaining the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in affected areas. A PSPO is a legal measure used to address persistent antisocial behaviour in a specific location.

Officers have also engaged with motorcycle riders to raise awareness of these restrictions and encourage responsible riding. Through ongoing patrols, education and partnership working, officers continue to address concerns and reduce the impact of nuisance motorcycles on local residents.

Issued 20 July 2026

This ongoing work helps improve road safety, deter offending and address concerns raised by the local community.
