Off road motorbikes

Now that the light nights are with us again I know that I will be getting complaints about off road and unlicensed motorbikes disturbing people's peace. I attended a meeting last week of the Wigan Road Safety group and one of the issues discussed concerned the problem of these bikes.

Wigan Council have just launched an initiative to prevent these bikes becoming a nuisance and it should be noted that the police and Council have strong powers to deal with them. Recently three bikes have been confiscated in the Ince area and are due to be crushed in the near future.

If you are having problems with these bikes in your area please contact the police on 0161 872 5050. The more people report a particular problem in their area the more likely the police will deal with it.
