Villagers in Bramcote have hit out at off-road bikers, describing the situation as 'really dangerous'. Nottinghamshire Police have been patrolling the area and other known hotspots to try and deter people from using off-road motorcycles in an illegal and dangerous manner.
According to locals, Bramcote Hills Park Woodland is a hotspot for bikers. Julie Adams, who usually walks her dog Heidi in the woods, says it can be dangerous.
“I’ve got a little dog and I was walking up Bramcote Woods and there was a lady with a little girl," she said. "Two mountain bikes came flying through the middle, almost knocking over the little girl. My dog was barking and I said that they’re not allowed to be here, they said they were. The lady was really shaken up and the little girl was only three or four.
