Using the online reporting form
Warwickshire County Council Community Safety Team are members of the “Community Safety Partnership”, together with other agencies we work to address crime and safety concerns within your community. Anti-Social Behaviour caused by nuisance bikes is one such area we know accounts for a large proportion of ASB reports.
If bikes are being used in a manner which causes alarm, distress or annoyance, Police can issue notices under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act or seize the bike.
Nuisance bikes, whether it be a Motorbike, E-Bike or Quad Bike are a cause of concern for several reasons; the noise that is created disturbs people in their homes, gardens and community, the riders often have no regard for other people’s safety on the public highway or byways, nor do they care about being road legal.
You must explain to us in detail why they are causing alarm, distress or annoyance, this is very important information as the detail is needed for action to be taken using available legislation.
Once you complete a nuisance bike reporting form it will go directly to the Community Safety Team and be dealt with accordingly. The aim of this form is to gather as much information as possible to identify the offender/s involved.
The details of the form will be shared with other members of the Community Safety Partnership where appropriate.
It is vital you include:
- Details of the bikes
- Descriptions of the riders
- Names of those involved
- Addresses of where the bike/s are stored
Over time, this information will help build up a picture of the issues within your community and partners can then take more appropriate and focused action. Direct action will only be taken once the rider, and/or address has been identified and enough supporting evidence has been obtained.
This form is only to be used to gather intelligence on offenders. To report incidents of ASB involving nuisance bikes please use 101 or by contacting your Local Authority.
(Only to be used if you either know who the rider is, the registration number of the bike they ride or where they live)
Using 101
If your area is blighted by ASB being caused by nuisance bikes the Community Safety Team are asking you to report this to the police on 101.
