Anti-social behaviour in your area

Dear Resident,

We have received reports of young people riding mopeds on pavements and pedestrian areas. This is illegal under UK law and extremely dangerous, putting members of the public at serious risk.

⚠️ Important Information:

Mopeds must not be ridden on footpaths.

Vehicles used illegally can be seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002.

If this is your child either riding or within the group (joint enterprise) your tenancy will be at risk.

👪 Parents / Guardians:

You are legally responsible for ensuring your child does not ride a moped illegally. If a teenager is caught riding without a licence or insurance, or dangerously, parents can be held liable, including facing fines, vehicle seizure, and points on their licence.

We will continue to patrol hotspot areas in marked Police cars and in unmarked cars and take enforcement action where offences occur.

✅ Please talk to your children about the risks and legal responsibilities of using mopeds.

✅ Report incidents via 101 or through our local police online reporting portal.

If you have any information you would like to share with your local officers, including detail on what you've seen or what time and where it has been happening, please take the time to complete this short survey:
