Bikers need somewhere to ride
Rustic Avenue,
Southowram.
I WOULD like to comment on a recent Courier article about off-road biking in the area.
When the Goverment banned it here it made no provision for areas where we could go instead.
Calderdale Council should provide an area for this pastime. Why should constituents have to go out of the area to enjoy this sport?
It's not just the riding, it's the maintenance and keeping kids interested in something that dad likes and his son carries on.
Over a period of time the majority of law-abiding citizens have decided to hate off-road motorcycling.
Yet this pastime has gone on for nearly a century, keeping young kids occupied with their bikes, giving them something to do at the weekend and maintenance during the week.
It has been thought of as the scourge of society. The Government has been relentless in its eradication of this sport.
Why not make provision for this recrational activity somewhere in this area, legally?
