ASB
- Off-road bikes - Horndean
|
|
Anti-social behaviour involving vehicles is wide ranging and
encompasses the following; off-road bike misuse; illegal motorbike and car
racing; noisy and dangerous motorbike use; and aggressive or inconsiderate
driving. These type of incidents occur all over, both on the road and off
roads.
Over the last few weeks Horndean residents have raised further
concerns regarding illegal use of off road bikes being ridden around
recklessly near to local schools. These include Horndean Technology
College, Horndean Infant and Junior schools. Some other key road names
highlighted are Bowes-Lyon Court, Queens Crescent and Five Heads Road.
A couple of key issues associated with off-road bike related ASB:
Risk to other road users such as pedestrians and drivers; Disruptive
and persistent noise disturbances.
Often riders will mount pavements and use alleyways to evade police
putting themselves and others at risk. If these individuals are identified
then they will be dealt with robustly as they have no disregard for the
safety of others.
Legislation in summary:
Off-road bikes can be used on private land, with the landowner’s
permission. The Road Traffic Act 1988 includes provisions that make it
illegal to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on land where permission
has not been given. The Road Traffic Act 1988 (section 34) states that:
It is illegal to drive or ride a mechanically propelled vehicle without
lawful authority on common land, moorland or land not forming part of a
road, or on any road which is a footpath, bridleway or restricted byway.
It should be noted that unsurfaced unclassified roads (often known as green
roads or green lanes) and byways open to all traffic (BOATs) are roads, so
riders would need to have a driving licence and insurance, and the quad
bike must be taxed and registered (as per the Road Traffic Act). To ride on
public land (e.g. parks) riders would need the local authority’s
permission.
The police have the power under section 59 of the Police Reform Act
2002 to seize vehicles, including off-road bikes, being driven illegally,
or used in an antisocial manner.
I know that there will be some individuals out there that will provide
negative comments to this post and you are entitled to your opinion. But
the simple answer is off-road bikes must meet specific construction standards
to be used legally on public roads and the riders are required to have a
driving licence, insurance and the vehicle must be registered and taxed.

As always, this issue also has a host local news and special offers too. We hope you enjoy reading it.

Police & Government Cyber Crime Support for Local Organisations
My
name is Chris White, and I’m a Police Detective working with the Police Cyber
Resilience Centre for the South East, a Home Office, and policing initiative
set up to help organisations protect themselves from cyber crime.
We’re seeing a growing number of online threats disrupting small organisations, especially email and social media account takeovers, ransomware attacks, and network breaches. These threats can have consequences for finances, data protection, and public trust. To support local organisations, we are offering practical tools, guidance, and resources to help identify and reduce vulnerabilities. This support is aimed at any organisation using email, websites, social media, or internet-connected devices, including parish councils, charities, and small businesses.
You can gain immediate access to funded security awareness training to help meet ICO guidance on data protection, regular threat updates and actionable guidance, and a direct link to police cyber security expertise. You can join the centre at www.secrc.police.uk, or simply reply to this email and I’ll be happy to help.
As a key community partner, I would also be grateful if you could share this government opportunity with organisations in your parish, particularly smaller charities and businesses that often lack the resources to access cyber security support on their own.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions or to assure yourself of this police crime prevention project.
Regards,
Chris White
Police Detective Inspector
