Riders are causing a 'nuisance' in the town
A ban with fines of up to £100 for breaching it has been approved which will stop people from off-roading in an area of publicly accessible land in Mansfield. Nottinghamshire Police say that residents in the town have regularly reported the use of off-road bikes and other vehicles as being a problem in an area known as The Desert.
It came as part of a review into the council's Public Spaces Protection Order , which has now been renewed and which will last until 2025. PSPOs are used by councils to ban certain activities within a defined area.Issues which are covered by Mansfield's PSPO include the drinking of alcohol and begging in public places. Failing to clean up dog mess and cycling through pedestrianised areas in the town centre at certain times are also among the offences covered by the PSPO.
"As well as being an obvious danger to people on foot, these vehicles also cause much danger and disturbance to the wildlife in the area. Now, with the approval of this order, it can be given a chance to flourish." Inspector Kylie Davies, the Nottinghamshire Police district commander for Mansfield, said: "People who drive and ride off-road vehicles illegally in our parks and other green spaces are not only a nuisance, they are also a considerable danger to other members of the public and to themselves.
