Illegal use of mini motorbikes on pathways and roads


Mini motorbikes are being used illegally in Kintore, claims a Kintore resident.

Anyone living near to the low-cost affordable housing in the Betts housing estate will be more than aware of the activities that take place including illegal use of an off road mini motorbike on pathways and our roads.

I would ask anyone who has any information or has seen these stupid and selfish individuals to report them to Grampian Police. These bikes are not road legal, not insured, M.O.T.'d, Taxed, etc. The individuals probably don't even have a provisional licence or C.B.T.

If they were to run someone down or hit a vehicle we would not be covered. I am already aware that young children (5-7 years of age) have had to jump from a pathway out of the way of these idiots.

Can we put in a request for Aberdeenshire Council to put up rails to restrict access for pedestrians only along the path between the Bett homes and George Wimpey homes? Better still if Grampian Police receive enough information and evidence. then they should be able to confiscate the bike and charge the individuals for all of the above in paragraph two.
