Residents could see an end to trail bike misery in Tunstall
Residents in Tunstall can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief this summer, as local police take the initiative to stop misery being caused by the large number of off-road bikes being ridden in the area.
There has been an issue with youths racing around the local parks and other green areas of the town on unlicensed traillies and mini-motos for several years. This has brought local people to despair, through the intolerable noise, intimidation, the danger of being hit by one in public areas, as well damage to the parkland environment.
But police in Tunstall are now taking a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to riders of illegal off-road bikes. An operation targeting riders who abuse the town’s open spaces and greenways on off-road bikes is now underway. Officers have already seized eight bikes after mounting operations in Goldenhill and Norton.

Trail bikes?
Great news i witnessed some teens with one riding along Westbourne Drive the other evening think it is so funny to use the horn, reving up the engine doing wheelies in the street and guess what NO HELMET? are they completely idiots or are the parents idiots or what? and i suspect that they havent got insurance either,by the way one of the parents was looking on what they were doing and smiling! Grrrrr!
