Stop Off-Road Nuisance Campaign

This website has been set up for the residents of Greater Manchester to offer advice and a way of reporting off-road nuisance directly to us.

The issue of off-road motorcycle nuisance has been identified as an area of public concern via public consultation mechanisms, and GMPA identified that a registration scheme would be a useful tool to help combat the growing problem of anti-social behaviour related to the illegal use of off-road motorcycles.

The police authority believes that, as it is a strategic organisation, it can adopt the role in relation to off-road nuisance as campaigner for an off-road registration scheme. The police authority should also be able to fulfil a role of bringing partners together to enable a joined-up approach to problem solving and also to engage with the public about the issue.
