Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) around the Finchampstead Baptist Church and Gorse Ride estate.

Our ASB Long-term Problem Solving plan includes working with our partner agencies to manage persistent offenders and locations.
The neighbourhood team continue to work with our partners and local community to intervene as early as possible. We continue to attend community meetings and will be holding Have Your Say meetings. We have carried out intervention at local schools and are working with the local authority to improve activities and facilities in the area.

Engagement work with ‘hard to reach’ communities

The team are working in several different locations where we have diverse communities. We are working with partner agencies to identify those that are most vulnerable and in need of help. We will be looking to hold more Have Your Say events and engagement activities within the communities.

Anti-social use of motorbikes, e-scooters, dirt bikes and quadbikes throughout the area.

The Neighbourhood Team ran an operation on 31st May – where we had 3 stop searches under the Misuse of Drugs Act, issued 2 e-scooter warning letters and made 2 arrests – one for a DV assault and TWOC of a moped and one for failing to provide a sample of saliva for analyst via a drugs swipe. 1 scooter was seized under S165 Road Traffic Act for no insurance and 2 x S59 warnings were given for anti-social use of mopeds. These vehicles can be seized if seen acting in an anti-social way in the future.

We will be planning more ops over the summer and continue to target and ID those involved.

Anti-social use of motorbikes, e-scooters, dirt bikes and quadbikes throughout the area.

It is not currently possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters. This means it’s illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as parks, street pavements, and shopping centres.

If you use a privately-owned e-scooter in public, you risk the vehicle being seized under S.165 Road Traffic Act 1988 for having no insurance.

If you cause serious harm to another person whilst riding an e-scooter, the incident will be investigated in the same way it would if you were riding a motorcycle or driving a car.

Please be advised that If you breech the rules when using an e-scooter you could face a fixed penalty notice.The fixed penalty notice could include:
a £300 fine and six penalty points on your licence for having no insurance
a £100 fine and three to six penalty points for riding without the correct licence

You could also be committing an offence if you are caught:
- riding on a pavement: fixed penalty notice and possible £50 fine
- using a mobile phone or other handheld mobile device while riding: £200 and six penalty points
- riding through red lights: fixed penalty notice, £100 fine and possible penalty points
- drink driving: the same as if you were driving a car, you could face court imposed fines, a driving ban and possible imprisonment
