Dear Residents and Visitors,

We want to remind everyone to take extra precautions when securing bicycles and scooters in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre. To help prevent theft, please follow these safety tips:

Always use a high-quality D-lock or chain to secure your bike to a fixed object.

Lock both the frame and wheels for added security.

Avoid leaving your bike unattended for long periods, especially in less visible areas.

Consider registering your bicycle with a national bike registry for added protection.

If possible, use designated cycle parking areas with CCTV coverage.

By taking these simple steps, we can all help keep our bicycles/scooters safe. If you see any suspicious activity, please report it to the local authorities.

Stay safe
