Current priorities
Anti-social use of off road and electric bikes in our communities
We have held several intensification operations with motorcycle section, DCC Street Wardens and our NPT officers to tackle the issue, seizing numerous bikes. This work will continue and we now have our drone online to help tackle the issue.
