PUTTING THE<br />
BRAKES ON NUISANCE<br />
OFF-ROAD BIKES<br />
COUNCIL<br />
TENANTS BE WARNED<br />
– you could face eviction<br />
if anyone living at, or<br />
visiting your home, is<br />
found to be involved in<br />
this anti-social<br />
behaviour<br />
The council has a zero tolerance approach to<br />
off-road vehicles causing a nuisance in our<br />
communities.<br />
We have been working closely with Durham<br />
Constabulary and other partners to put the brakes<br />
on off-road drivers and tackle the nuisance cause<br />
by bikers, quads and 4x4s.<br />
Operation Endurance, run by the police, has seen<br />
the introduction of new warning signs displayed in<br />
hotspots across the borough. Section 59 notices<br />
highlight new police powers to seize vehicles on<br />
the spot, rather than having to issue warnings in<br />
the first instance. This has already seen a number<br />
of nuisance off-road vehicles seized in recent<br />
months.<br />
We are working with police to raise awareness of<br />
this successful scheme and we would encourage<br />
you to report any incidents as they happen to help<br />
identify those responsible.<br />
To report a nuisance vehicle, call 101<br />
or Crimestoppers anonymously on 08000 555 111<br />
or email: opendurance@durham.police.uk
