Unauthorised Scarborough Bike Track Wont Be Removed

There have been complaints from local people about the track in Northstead.

Removing an unofficial bike track which has been built in Scarborough would be too expensive.

That's the view of the borough council who say the track and ramps built without permission on council land in Northstead would be very costly to dismantle.

Councillor John Atkinson says local people have reported numerous problems over the last two years.

The track has been built on council land without permission and locals say not only is it causing noise disturbance but it's also dangerous for it's users.

Local people in Northstead have complained about the track which includes a number of ramps and jumps.

Councillor Jim Grieve says the council is aware of the issues but at the moment isn't planning to take any action.

Councillor Grieve says the complaints from local residents haven't all been about the bike track itself.
