Council and police team up to keep targeting off-road bikers in Barnsley

Off-road bikers causing trouble for people in Barnsley will carry on being targeted under a new partnership between Barnsley Council and South Yorkshire Police.

The two organisations say the joint working is aimed at tackling the nuisance caused by off-road bikes in the community.

Barnsley Council and South Yorkshire Police have previously worked together on Operation Duxford, a coordinated day of action targeting environmental crime, antisocial behaviour and exploitation across the borough.

The council has also carried out work with the police and partner agencies on antisocial behaviour issues in the borough, including through the Safer Barnsley Partnership Board.
