The local Police are tackling the problem of misused off-road bikes and the problems they cause local residents. They’ve issued advice to residents on reporting incidents:

Are off-road bikes making your life a misery?

Call Greater Manchester Police on 101 and report the incident providing the following details:

• Description of who is riding the bike
• Where the bike is being used
• When is it being used (time of day, e.g. evening, daytime, weekend)
• Details about the vehicle (e.g. make, model, colour)
• Who owns the vehicle (if known)
• Where the bike is being stored

The Police do often have a good idea of who the people are riding off-road bikes illegally and will warn them – if sufficient evidence to prosecute can be secured then further action can be taken, including bikes being seized and crushed.
