Carl Walmsley said mini-motorcycles have been a big problem on the Mirehouse property for as long as he can remember and that if the problem was not resolved, someone would be injured.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"subscription-content\">\n<p>  And he welcomed the news this week that the police would act on the problem.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Count.  Walmsley issued the warning after police spent some time patrolling the bike path at Mirehouse earlier this week.\n<\/p>\n<p>  The police action came after reports from people who caused antisocial behavior on the mini motorcycles and off-road bikes.\n<\/p>\n<p>  A police spokesman said: \u201cWe are aware of problems in the area regarding the unsocial use of ATVs.\n<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cWe encourage people to report any incidents to us to help us protect Copeland.\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;When a crime is ongoing, always call 999.\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;To report a non-emergency crime, please call 101 or fill out our non-emergency crime and incident report form here.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  Coun.  Walmsley said police intervention on the matter would be &#8220;welcomed with open arms&#8221; by the majority of the people on his property as this type of antisocial behavior has caused many problems.\n<\/p>\n<p>  He said, \u201cFor as long as I can remember as a councilor on the ward, off-road motorcycles have been an ongoing issue on the property.  Motorcycles were by far the majority of complaints I&#8217;ve had.\n<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cIt really is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured, if not worse, so I applaud the news that the police are cracking down on them.\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;You will be welcomed with open arms by me and the majority of the residents.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  However, the question has been raised that the problems are due to the fact that a large chunk of the people who ride the bikes don&#8217;t have other places to go.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Count.  Walmsley added, \u201cSince bike owners have nowhere to take the bikes, they use the bike lanes and local fields and sometimes even roads and payments.\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Together we really need to find a place where bicycles etc. can be used properly and safely.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A WHITEHAVEN The city council has warned that &#8220;it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured&#8221; following ongoing problems with motorcycles on his property.
