Councillors, police, and residents are working together to combat the spike in anti-social driving across the Gedling Borough.
People riding unregistered motorbikes and dirt bikes have been doing wheelies down streets, going onto pavements, and riding through alleyways in the area.
These bikers have been seen in Stoke Bardolph, Carlton and Gedling village and are a danger to the community.
Police Inspector Mark Stanley has informed local councillors that his team are trying to get hold of further resources to combat this issue.
Councillor Mike Adams said: “We need to fix the problem and get these illegal bikes off of the street.”
One of the issues is that these bikers are riding down the Waverley Avenue cut through however restrictions cannot be put in place as this would cause difficulties for residents who rely on the use of mobility scooters.
There has also been an increase in speeding and car meets in the area.
Vehicles are getting into the industrial carpark behind Stratford Close in Colwick performing donuts and making a large amount of noise.
Locals have expressed their concerns about this disturbance and the police are trying to resolve the problem.
They are working on putting a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in place which will give the local authority the ability to act, such as confiscating cars, when these problems occur.
The landowner of the car park in Colwick has asked his tenants to park in a certain way to prevent donutting and has employed 24/7 security.
He is looking at gating off the area but there are logistical issues surrounding this as all hour access to the car park is needed.
One weekend there was a count of around 300 cars on the premises.
Last weekend many vehicles were causing problems in the carpark and there was a very swift response from the police.
Cllr Adams told us that these issues have been occurring since November and residents have been hearing cars with ridiculous exhausts in the late hours of the evenings.
He said: “One resident told me they were walking down the road with their daughter, a car drove past making an incredibly loud noise and the daughter was in tears because of this.”
He feels it is not fair on the people in Gedling who expect peace and quiet.
Cllr Adams added: “If you do see any of them, whether it be the bikers or the car cruisers, please don’t approach them but please call 101. If you see a registration plate please report it, if not just tell them where you’ve seen them.”
The continued reporting of these incidents can help the police to take action and put an end to the anti-social driving in Gedling.
