With the warmer weather comes an increase in nuisance vehicles on our green spaces and off-road areas.
Neighbourhood Watch did a lot of work on off
road vehicles last summer in the Chatham area and we found that the
most effective and efficient way of dealing with this nuisance is to
gather evidence, identify offenders and surprise them at their homes.
Often people will call us and tell us there are off road bikes with a limited description. What would really help us would be?
Any clear picture or videos of offenders (but don’t put yourself at any risk getting them)
Licence plate numbers (if vehicles have them)
Accompanying
vehicles – often nuisance bikes travel to off road areas in vans or on
trailers. Tell us the registrations of the accompanying vehicles!
Is
it your neighbour? Are your neighbours or the family across the road
always going out on these bikes but you don’t say as you don’t want to
fall out with them?
