Off-road bikes in North Lanarkshire

Local communities have told us through our Community Boards that they’re increasingly concerned about the potentially illegal and inconsiderate use of off-road bikes and similar vehicles in their areas.

People have raised different types of complaints, but most are about how these bikes are being used in ways that cause a range of problems in local communities.

Riders are seen driving through residential areas, town centres, pavements, parks and in open and green spaces and complaints have been received that they are putting themselves and others in potential danger.

Have you experienced any issues regarding off-road bikes in your community? Please take a few minutes to fill in the survey linked below. This survey will close on the 10^th October 2025.

https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=O5WPqRjWQ0uKZQOCaBvSg2ZfmL7uyINOkSlEro2Sy1RURjE2QUZRRkFLRjBBRVZOQVA5NkhDQlQ4Si4u

Your feedback will help us and our partners – including North Lanarkshire Council, Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – to:

• Measure how serious the problem is
• Identify areas where it’s happening most
• Work together with communities to find practical solutions

If you’ve been affected or have ideas to help, we’d really appreciate you completing the survey.

Dear Parent/Carer,

Congratulations to our new Pope, Leo XIV on his election.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

St. Barbara, pray for him.
