Metropolitan Housing claim progress on tackling quads. Beth Watson says
“I have sat on a 'Quad Bike Task Group', which was set up as an offshoot of the Community Safety Group. Between us we formulated a press release which was in the Evening Post a couple of weeks ago, and we also clarified what the legislation was and what powers the Police had under new legislation issued earlier this year.
“Using these new powers, the Police set up an operation on our estate which ran for a week, every evening between 5 and 10pm. The Police were able to issue Section 59 warnings on any of the riders that they witnessed - the next step after a warning being confiscation of the vehicle. Staff at the office here have also provided witness statements to PC Paul Walters (the officer tasked with dealing with this issue) which has resulted in further warnings being issued.
“Paul's mobile number has also been widely circulated to residents, and feedback we have received has been very positive. Certainly, the staff have noticed a significant reduction in these issues, and our residents are telling us the same. Generally, I feel as though the word has got out that this is a 'No Tolerance' zone for quads and scooters - which is great !”
