Northumbria Police admit they are 'struggling' to deal with off-road motorbikes in Blyth

Northumbria Police and Northumberland County Council are working together to tackle the menace caused by off-road motorbikes in Blyth.

The council and the force plan to open a new motorbike dirt track, replacing the PJMX track in Cambois that was closed as it was part of the site purchased by Britishvolt.

It is hoped that by providing a safe and legal place for youngsters to use their vehicles, they will not use the bikes in public areas and cause a nuisance, as well as putting themselves and the public in danger.
