Fuming residents say Arnold park has been 'destroyed' by off-road bikers

Fed up residents living close to a park where they say antisocial behaviour happens '24/7' have had enough. A popular spot for dog walkers in Arnold, those who use Church Lane Recreation Ground say it has been "overrun" by off-road bikers who have been tearing across the park - reportedly for some time.

Residents have claimed that the speed of the vehicles is "frightening" and that their beloved local park is being "destroyed" as a result of the behaviour of others. Others have stopped walking their dogs the recreation ground.

Councillor Michael Payne, deputy leader of Gedling Borough Council, who represents Redhill for Labour on the local authority, said that residents were "at the end of their tether" with the issue. And local residents - including James Cleverly, 47, who works in retail and lives nearby - say it's been an issue for some time.
