Off road biking in Llanelli area

1. Why dont they tackle anti social behaviour in the towns,tackle shoplifters and other thieves,tackle knife crime –this makes more sense.

2. Would a lot of these people riding illegally even use a purpose built motorcross track if it was built for them? most of them just want to twist the throttle up and down a straight I think there’s quite a lot of difference between motorcross riding on practice tracks and competing than local kids/adults riding on footpaths and quarrys etc

3. Can’t catch real criminals but can catch youngster on bikes just enjoying joke

4. There is plenty of Barron land in Wales in every authority,just build tracks for them,or lease the land to clubs at a reasonable rate
   You will never ever ever stop mx bikes,
   Unfortunately there is a minority that will spoil it for others the way they ride on footpaths etc,so build tracks

5. Scrambling was invented and founded in wales as a sport. Yet you continuously feel the need to take this sport away…. Go catch some real criminals. Still waiting for someone to come and csi my shed after it got broken into. Also somebody to look at my cctv that shows someone mooching around my work van and caravan.

6. Ram raid in talgarth powys thieves 25 min with a jcb in town n still the police didn’t catch. Says it all

7. No more damage than what the police do

8. Having field bikes kept us out of trouble…should be encouraging the youth not only riding but comradery and mechanical skills…better than criminalising them…

9. Cyclists in Lycra using the coastal paths as a velodrome are way worse!

10. I often meet these guys while walking my dog,and they’re always respectful and considerate. Where is the evidence of the claimed ‘damage’? They’re just a bunch of kids with a skilled hobby… way better than drinking or using drugs etc.

11. Bunch of nob Gobbler’s

12. Why don’t councils and Natural resources put something there for bikers instead of confiscating and being authoritative .unts

13. Ne er .ind the bikers catch the theifs and robbers first

14. Phoenix Holland read this xx

15. Something Tony Holland and Jordan Evaans take very seriously

    • Ross Williams tony can’t go off road his mobility scooter can’t cope

    • Jordan Evaans can

    • Ross Williams not since his stabilisers got nicked from outside Dorothy’s

16. the police in brecon are also a taxi service they round up teenagers drop them home and then the same teenagers go out again and get the same taxi lol fcking joke what a waist of time and money,,wankers

17. I got fresh rubber to rip the shit out of everything lol

18. how much to enter?

19. Your lucky these kids are doing this instead of everything else they can,Llanelli is fuckin dead only drug or drinking

20. David Lynch it’s a corporation not out to kp people’s interests in mind only to make money for there company most stations these days ain’t even manned no Bobby on beat no more in my opinion

21. The biggest joke in wales..

22. Some of the youngsters on bike are really good competition stuff definitely but there’s no where for them to go and even if there not good they’ll soon will be cause it’s summing they love doing it’s a piss take how there’s no where for them to go

    • Rich Edwards spent all that money on cycle paths that don’t get used as I see most on main roads tks piss

    • Brian Larkin definitely agree

23. Sport for all,make room

24. Bell ends arnt interested in proper places

25. Maybe stop closing places for people to go riding legally. Then it would stop so many of these issues.

26. Keiran Parsons they are using them as transport,not just going on a field for fun,that’s a different matter,they are going to kill a little kid one day the way they are. Its far from a laughing matter.

27. Even if someone has permission to ride a quad bike on land,if they are found to be riding “dangerously” or “carelessly” (as defined by the Road Traffic Act 1991) they would be guilty of an offence even when they are driving off-road.
    Can you clarify this? Can police prosecute competitors on an organized event ?

    • Lee Heywood nope not a chance if it’s on private land,do as u please.

    • Alex Houston didn’t think so but that’s what the police statement read.

    • Lee Heywood just say I had a farm and land,I could literally let my 12 year old drive about a car on my land and there’s nothing they can do. Definitely take it all the way mate

28. Ceri Davies if they had a place to ride there wouldn’t be a problem blame the councils

29. Keiran Parsons they are criminals,they’ve nearly hit more than one person,driving illegally and very dangerous is criminal.

30. If they can spend millions on cycling paths then why can’t they find the money for the youngsters to go off road,it would be different if Wally waters rode offroad motorcycles.

31. But can’t chase them so how do they catch and stop them??? They race up our street and back lane knowing fully well police won’t do anything anyway

32. Dyfed Powys police are a fuckin useless bunch of fuckin morons aresholes etc etc etc

33. Chasing kids on off road bikes,whoooeeeee . Better off if they spent their time chasing drug dealers which a rife in the Dyfed Powys Area . I can’t walk through Carmarthen town,without seeing a deal being done,it sticks out like a sore thumb . They are queuing up around Catherine St lights area,it’s unbelievable .

34. Crime of the century. Loved scrambling as a kid fond memories of it growing up

35. you’d think the police and council would listen to the comments and serve the people they are elected to police. Not a chance,and the best is to come,now we have a labour government in Westminster,you are about to get what you lot voted for! this is not going to be pretty!

36. Pathetic. Deal with some real crime!!

37. Keiran Parsonsif one of these Muppets kills or injures you child they become criminals so do we wait for that to happen while the country turns into the wild west ?

38. Give the kids a motocross track then so they got somehere to practice safe

    • There’s plenty of land that could be handed to these kids to use give them a patch of land I stead of taking money and not giving them nowhere to use them

    • Josh Smiley Davies it would be a good thing but we don’t do anything to encourage good in Llanelli,anything which has sense is dismissed.
      Or a business must try to build to get done.
      Instead we throw money after chasing down in the problem!
      Solutions are often better than problems!
      Before problems create solutions .

    • Josh Smiley Davies there’s a track at pembrey race circuit for beginners and experienced riders

    • Josh Smiley Davies why . If you buy a horse you don’t expect the govt to buy you a paddock

    • Freddy Fnaf lol who’s paying stupid money for a shit track not everyone can afford it and not everyone can sort a lift up to pembrey

    • Emrys Morgan you all ask for tracks I just told you where there was one.
      Maybe when a few kids get killed by wheelies into oncoming traffic the parents will say wish I’d taken time to put them on an official track.
      How’s that sound.

    • Freddy Fnaf they have closed all the local places pontyberem,Cynheidre not everyone can travel an hour away

    • Richard Jones problem is noise and illegal riding to the tracks.
      Then there’s the responsibility of deaths or accidents.
      If you all get together for the council to provide the land then your going to need someone to run it.
      Fence it and get public liability insurance.
      Then your good to go.

    • Emrys Morgan I get that but riding illegally and in some cases irresponsibly will lead to deaths of kids,which no parents want Inc the ones on here who say it’s ok to do.
      They will all look for someone to blame if it’s their kid killed but will never blame themselves.
      I agree land should be available but it needs to be a legal track and run by parents who will need to fence it off and construct the track introduce rules and get public liability insurance.
      You can crowd fund for that as there are so many kids needing this type of organisation and the parents as well.

    • Freddy Fnaf I would happily contribute but shame the council won’t as they would rather waste the taxpayers money on unnecessary developments in the area that are not things people ask for such as a track

    • Emrys Morgan any council land that’s being ignored by your council overgrown,quarry or storage areas?.
      Petition get parents to write to local m.ps or a/m keep pushing,petition and don’t give up.
      It’s a fight but you can get there.
      Mist people will sign a petition if they know it will be out of ear shot and will stop illegal riding.
      People will sigh if relief lol.
      I ran one in Merthyr years ago and in abercynon.
      It was a fight for both places but it did get done.

    • Freddy Fnaf council should be doing this for youngsters though they put other events on so why can’t they sort so.ething out for children to enjoy themselves on the bikes

    • Richard Jones yeah I understand but they won’t do it due to budget cuts and the lack of care.
      It would cost them thousands to run one legally and maintaining it just wouldn’t be economical but as a private group or business you can call on the help from locals with jcb it st John’s etc .
      If you all really feel this strong about a place for your kids don’t look for walls look for the cracks and make it happen.
      It’s easy to shout and blame than to start action.

    • Freddy Fnaf Just shows how council and police don’t care about the safety of people and are more focused on the money they get from taking bikes and partnering up with Ken Williams so they can rob people for money.

    • Emrys Morgan look mate I don’t do political shit because I don’t care about them to be honest but as I said I set up two Motorcross courses in my past and yes it’s a fight and yes it will take up time.
      But I didn’t blame others because it was a little hard not did I stand back and watch kids get killed.
      If all you want to do is shout then carry on.
      If you want something done then do it.
      I don’t have all the answers and Im not you.
      There’s a lot of people on here that want somewhere maybe one of you lot have the balls to start fighting and not crying.
      Iv tried to help you in the right direction best I can.
      Sorry if it’s not what you need to hear.

    • Freddy Fnaf they waste money on stuff that don’t need to be done

39. Obviously nothing better to do than bother motocross riders. Nowhere to be seen when an actual crime is being committed. About time people start ignoring the police and doing there own thing.

    • Gareth Patmore exactly be a wolf not a sheep !!!

40. Its not about giving them somewhere to go if they drove them safely and appropriately people wouldn’t have issues ive seen so many close misses i have tax and insurance to drive on road what do they have .

41. Nice to see they got enough officers to chase motorbikes but if you report knife crime in Llanelli they give you a reference number !!

42. Give them somewhere legal to go then that doesn’t cost £40 a day to use. The government is quick enough to accept the taxes from selling these bikes but doesn’t give anything back or give you anywhere to use them. You stop these kids from getting out and enjoying and they’ll sell drugs on the streets instead and hang around in gangs. It’s all about taking and not giving back in the UK.

    • Steven Collins
      They use the bikes to deliver the drugs.

43. They were by the skate park llanelli riding fast round the small pond

44. Stop picking on kids having fun got nothing better to do with your self…if they dangerous to the public on road then the public shudnt be on road stop picking on the kids

    • Tim Watson they like picking on kids.. makes them look big.. to scared to sort real crime out.

45. There on the coast path between Bury port and llanelli acedent waiting to happen

    • Tony Skilton may aswell use it made for push bikes but no offence most them on main roads another waste off money

46. Obviously these “off road”places need to be converted into cycle paths and get them off the dangerous roads

    • Angelo Conti driving off road motcrossers on to main roads think again this has happened in our area.

47. Obviously it’s a popular thing otherwise there wouldn’t be so many complaints
    Instead of seizing bikes and being knobs maybe they could educate the people on where to ride safely

    • Jason Rice and if they ride uninsured and injured someone riding round like an idiot,would education be enough then?

    • Danny Bowditch education on where the local tracks are

    • Jason Rice fuck me heard of Google?

48. Need this in Narberth in Pembrokeshire

49. How about you and the council give land so they can ride safely,no place for people to ride them off road around Llanelli.

    • Matthew Lee Lloyd well said they got all this common land and when people go up on the bikes to get off the streets the police get petty and take there bikes so then they get other bikes and use them on the streets it’s the police fault why it’s ended up like this blame your selves you muppets

50. Should stop the teenagers using motorbike on seaside football pitch
