  1. Newsletter Issue 10 August 2008 Welcome to Augusts edition of the Bradley Stokes Neighbourhood policing teams newsletter. One issue that seems to be effecting a lot of residents is nuisance motorbikes/,mopeds in the area. We have released a press release about what we are doing as below. POLICE WARN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AT WILDLIFE PARK The Neighbourhood Team is warning that an accident is waiting to happen at a nature reserve in Bradley Stoke because motorcyclists are using the area for scrambling. Youngsters, often without helmets, are scrambling around the Three Brooks Nature Reserve, known locally as the “Duck Pond” on mopeds, motorcycles and mini-mopeds. Neighbourhood PC Michael Friis said: “This is just not on. These youngsters are putting themselves at risk, and endangering the children and walkers who visit this popular site. If anyone does get hurt, it would be very difficult to get medical help onto the site. “There are no rights of way for vehicles across this reserve. Only pedal cycles and walkers are permitted.” People living nearby have complained to police about the nuisance, as well as families and dog walkers who visit the area. In response, the Neighbourhood Team is running regular high visibility patrols in the area. PC Friis added: “Anyone caught riding any sort of motorbike in the nature reserve could find their vehicle seized and even crushed by police.” Officers have a power under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act to seize a vehicle being used to cause alarm or in an anti-social manner. Have Your Say in Bradley Stoke We are currently working with some young people in the area who are beginning to get involved in low level anti-social behaviour. We are working with ASB team at Safer South Glos and the youths parents encouraging them to participate in anti-social behaviour contracts. This is aimed at the young people taking responsibility for their actions and therefore not getting involved in further anti-social activities. The next Safer and Stronger community group meeting is being held on Tuesday 30th September at 7pm at Bradley Stoke Community School. Please attend the next meeting and have your say about local issues that are affecting YOU… If you have any questions about any of the issues mentioned in this newsletter or wish for a member of the team to attend your community group or meeting please contact us.
