Glenys from Approach Too said “A big thank you to the amazing Ferryhill School leaders for helping to raise awareness around the menace of illegal off-road bikes. We distributed leaflets around the Aged Miners Bungalows and Kirk Merrington, and even managed a quick litter pick on the way.
“Illegal bikers are damaging our beautiful nature reserves, parks and playing fields, and they are also creating dangerous situations for pedestrians, children, families and older family and friends.
“If you’ve seen or heard something but aren’t sure what to do, or you’re worried about speaking out, simply use the QR code or follow the link to report anonymously — it’s easy, quick, and safe.
“Please remember this is not an emergency service, so please dial 999 to contact the police in an emergency. If you need to contact the police, but it is not an emergency, please call 101”
