Hi
Last summer I went with a dog walking on the land between the M6 and Garswood, there was a number of "off roaders". Being open land the dog was not on a lead, when I saw a motor bike coming, I shouted for the dog and the bike came slow until he had passed us. We both waved our thanks.
Perhaps Chris you are this off roader or as equally respnsible.
However, many people have equally had bad experiences with off roaders.
As for a track, I think NYMBYISM is always going to be an issue with things like this, the area is too built up to find a suitable isolated spot.
I hope Chris I have been balanced in my posting,there is one other point, would the unruly ones use a track if there was one and they had to show they were insured, their bike was suitable for use and they had to pay?

Hi Alan -

I agree with your point about responsible use of an off-road facility. And even if there was a licensed track locally, how would the bikers get there? The responsible ones would make arrangements, but I suspect the majority would be using local roads, back alleys and footpaths for their motor bikes and quad bikes to go there.

Coincidentally I had a leaflet dropped through my door today advertising off-road and quad bikes, so it looks like the problem is going to get worse before it gets better.
