Nuisance Motorbikes - results from my views survey conducted by the local team, via Neighbourhood Link, indicate that this is a priority concern on the area. Reports of nuisance motorbikes travelling across Netherhall Park and across the Hamilton estate towards open land next to Thorpebury in the Limes estate where they then ride these motorbikes and quads in an antisocial manner causing noise pollution. There are concerns around the dangerous way these motorcycles are being ridden through the estates.
Beat Police Officers continue to work to provide a safe living area for the local residents. Regular patrols are taking place during key times to try and tackle this issue. We will also be completing targeted enforcement of the use of e-scooters and e-bikes to increase the safety of residents on identified roads where this has been reported as an issue. Joint partnership meetings are being held with the council and the beat team for Charnwood to complete a working strategy to tackle this issue.
