COMMUNITY UPDATE – SCANDERLANDS FIELD, BLACKWELL

🚔 COMMUNITY UPDATE – SCANDERLANDS FIELD, BLACKWELL 🚔

👮 PCSO Ashton has been out and about today attending a number of community catch-ups and has received several complaints regarding nuisance motor/monkey bikes being used around Scanderlands Field, off Gloves Lane, Blackwell.

🚨Just a reminder to locals residents and those using the field that there is CCTV covering the area, including cameras operated by the Parish Council and nearby residents.

Please be aware: if these bikes are being used on the public highway without the appropriate licence and insurance, police have powers under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 to seize vehicles being driven without a licence or insurance.⚠️ 
There are also circumstances where vehicles being used off-road in a manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance, or in a way that contravenes relevant road traffic requirements, may be subject to police action, including seizure under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002.

PCSO Ashton has already spoken to a few individuals recently regarding the use of these bikes, so please take the advice on board -  🏍️ If you own or ride a motorbike/monkey bike, please ensure it is being used legally and responsibly, on suitable private land with the landowner's permission and with appropriate safety equipment and precautions.

🙏 Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak with PCSO Ashton during today's community catch-ups.

📞 Please continue to report ongoing issues so they can be dealt with appropriately.

Thanks All

PCSO Ashton
