EMERSONS Green Town Council says holes up to 3ft deep being dug on bike trails at Rodway Common are a “serious safety risk”
The town council, which manages the common, has had to fill in some of the holes and is calling on young people who use the trails and their families to ensure they “enjoy the space responsibly”.
In a social media post in May the council said: “The Town Council recognises and appreciates that the bike trails on Rodway Common are valued by the community in general. However, while there is clear support for the presence of the trails, recent instances of large holes being dug—some up to three feet deep—present a serious safety risk to all users of the Common. Filling this type of damage requires significant time and resources, which could otherwise be directed towards improving other community facilities.”
