There are increasing reports of youths or young people who are driving cars without either licence or not in accordance with their licence. The cars are in some cases uninsured, untaxed and are not road legal i.e. with no MOT. They are driving around the area sometimes with several other people who are of a same or similar age.
We are aware youths are either purchasing cars for a low price on facebook or taking parents cars in the middle of the night.
We are encouraging parents to have conversations with their young people around the dangers of this behaviour, and we are asking members of the public to report any suspicious activity, driving or sightings that maybe linked.

The use of mechanically-propelled vehicles, such as E-Scooters or E-Bikes that do not require pedalling, is not permitted on the road or any public spaces including footpaths and bridle ways.
They are covered by the same laws and regulations that cover all motor vehicles. As such if you are caught using such transport you are liable to the same penalties as if you were using a motor vehicle.
Such as fines or penalty points under Road Traffic Regulations including seizure of the transport device.
