Good afternoon everyone,

From the surveys that have been conducted we have identified the priorities in this area are;

Motor nuisance and road safety

ASB - general 

We are aiming to tackle these issues by our ongoing Operations which includes Op Propulsion 

Op Propulsion is a joint patrol with Beacon Rangers, Lancashire Rural Task Force and Skelmersdale Neighbourhood Police Team to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) caused by the riders of off-road motorcycles, scooters and quad bikes in the Skelmersdale area. During the operation a mix of police officer's in uniform and plain clothing have jointly conducted patrols in various locations that have been highlighted as hotspot areas via ‘In The Know’ surveys conducted by local residents

Noise caused by nuisance motorcycles can be a concern for residents. You can report this direct to your local council, which has powers under the Environmental Protection Act to take action. 

Please continue to report these incidents of antisocial behaviour as this provides us with the most up to date information of the issue and the specific location to target while conducting patrols.  

You can report online via lancashire.police.uk/reportonline or call 101. 

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Thank you,

Rebekah
