Five people have been charged in last couple of weeks concerning motorbikes. Police are taking this very seriously. Complaints concerning these can be phoned in anon as with any other complaints.

Peter is going to try and find out is there any where else the motorbikers could go, we could then have a meeting to discuss this.
