Fed up locals are being urged to report any illegal motor or quad bike use in open spaces, parks and country parks to the police.
Unauthorised motor and quad bike use can be hugely damaging to countryside and wildlife sites, impacting on the nature who call these sites home, as well as putting the public at risk of serious injury whilst spoiling their enjoyment.
And the current wet ground conditions means that these bikes are ripping up grass and ruining wildlife habitats, as the current issue in the Oakbank area, off the A71 near Livingston, demonstrates.
