Rainbow Hill and Gorse Hill plagued by dangerous motorcyclists

Police are hoping to identify the motorcyclists who are not wearing helmets and driving dangerously around an estate.

People have been reporting the issue to police worried that it will not be long before there is a crash on the tight roads around Rainbow Hill and Gorse Hill.

City councillors from Rainbow Hill and Gorse Hill have called for action to be taken to prevent a serious accident.

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "We are starting to receive numerous reports of motorcycles being ridden by youths without helmets and also recklessly.

"Please report any such behaviour to us as soon as possible. Also, remember to try and provide as much of a description of the motorcycle as possible.

"We are in the process of identifying the motorcycle and then their respective owners or rider.

"If you have any footage then please send it to ghrh.snt@westmercia.police.uk or alternatively Whatsapp to 07814 040 007.

"Please remember to call 999 in an emergency or 101 to report any matters. Thank you for your assistance."

Cllr Mohammad Altaf.

Cllr Mohammad Altaf, of Gorse Hill, believes the Police should be doing more to resolve the issue.

Cllr Altaf said: "I was made aware of this over the weekend and I have had another phone call about it this morning.

"I will be speaking to the local police in the area about this issue.

"Many residents have said they have contacted the police but by the time they arrive the youths have left.

"I think the police could be doing a lot more to tackle the issue, people should not have to put up with this kind of behaviour."

Cllr Adrian Gregson.

Cllr Adrian Gregson, of Rainbow Hill, believes the issue gets worse when the weather gets warmer.

Cllr Gregson said: "I am certainly aware of the situation. It is dangerous and foolhardy for these youths to be behaving like this.

"It is certainly an issue when the weather starts to get warmer, I am unsure what the police are doing with this but it is certainly their issue to resolve.

"We also have a big problem with dangerous drivers speeding around tight, residential corners.

"It is totally unacceptable and needs to be resolved."
