I would encourage any Worky fans reading this to pick up the phone or use email or social media to express your dispsleasure at the situation and demand some action. Police Station ; Police Chief and Crime Commissioner David Allen; Mark Fryer Cumberland Council Leader and or senior Council Figures; Josh MacAlister MP to name a few.

If the police fail to respond to blatant criminal damage and unauthorized access, landowners and residents must pivot from relying on immediate police intervention to triggering formal council and civil legal processes. 1. Trigger the Council's Legal Eviction Duty Local authorities have their own distinct statutory powers to remove unauthorized encampments without relying on a police arrest. Section 77 Directions: Under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the council can serve a formal direction ordering the individuals to leave the land immediately. Section 78 Court Orders: If the group ignores the Section 77 notice, the council can apply to the local Magistrates' Court the following day for an eviction order. Once granted, council-appointed bailiffs can physically clear the land, towing away vehicles if necessary. Common Law Powers: Councils can use common law powers (under the principle of tortious eviction) to hire private certificated bailiffs to clear the site within 24–48 hours, bypassing the court system entirely if it is deemed safe to do so. 2. Force Police Accountability If the police are refusing to act on a clear, ongoing crime (like criminal damage or the Section 60C offence of illegal encampment with damage), you can escalate the matter to force their involvement. Report via 999: If the damage is happening right now, it is a crime in progress. Demand a log number. Escalate to the Duty Inspector: If standard officers refuse to attend, call 101 and ask to speak to the local Area Duty Inspector. Inform them that a criminal offense under Section 60C of the CJPOA is actively being committed and public property is being destroyed. Contact the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC): The PCC is an elected official whose job is to hold the local police force accountable. Emailing them with photographic evidence of police inaction usually forces a rapid review by senior management. 3. Record Evidence Safely The primary reason police cite for not arresting individuals for smashing padlocks is a "lack of identifying evidence." Use CCTV and Dashcams: Do not confront the individuals directly, as this can escalate to violence. Instead, gather clear footage of the specific individuals using tools to break locks, alongside vehicle registration plates. Pass Evidence to the Council: This evidence allows the council to secure an expedited emergency injunction from a county court, which can include an expedited power of arrest attached to that specific plot of land. 4. Utilize Existing Injunctions Many councils have proactive, borough-wide "persons unknown" injunctions protecting their most vulnerable green spaces. If such an injunction is already in place for that specific piece of land, the council can bypass the standard 24–48 hour notice period and instruct high court enforcement officers to clear the site immediately. Are you looking to find out which department at your local council handles unauthorized encampments, or do you need a template to lodge a formal complaint with your local Police and Crime Commissioner?

That should clean them up a bit 🙂

Peter Collins raced in a world final with a broken leg and finished second

Any local farmers need to empty there slurry tanks !!

I think it was a good result for both teams - Edinburgh fans went home happy that they beat the Pirates, especially the way they did it, Poole happy because they are only two behind. Who might have scored what had line ups been different is just silly talk. You can only race against what’s in front of you and that was the case for both sides. Edinburgh had some unexpectedly good performances which is always a fan pleaser, Poole were solid from one to six with only Rushen findings things tough. I can see a repeat coming up for the play off final once Dan T is back

No falls and showed no signs of discomfort from the terraces but he may have been hobbling around in the pits. he got a medical certificate from the track after the meeting. Will be interesting to see if he rides this weekend.

Anyone know if Kennett was there and had a spin after the meeting Thursday? That was the plan apparently.

He used to play for QPR!!

Unfortunately he is injured. Spinal injury and concussion

Somewhere in between, the 1 is a bit of an anomaly with an engine failure and exclusion although he was out of it already when his engine went pop. typically around Foxhall he won’t fancy it first ride when the tracks really grippy and will make a couple of starts later on and get beaten in heat 13 0, 2, 3, 0 more typical

In the UK, smashing padlocks on council land is a criminal act of criminal damage. The police have the power to arrest individuals without a warrant under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) if they have reasonable grounds to suspect an offence has been committed and an arrest is necessary. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Police Powers and Actions The specific powers to arrest, evict, and seize depend on how the situation unfolds: Arrest for Criminal Damage: Anyone who willfully or recklessly damages property (such as cutting chains or smashing padlocks) can be arrested for criminal damage. [1, 2, 3, 4] Powers of Eviction (CJPOA 1994): Under Sections 61 and 62A of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, police have discretionary powers to direct trespassers to leave land and remove their vehicles. They can only use these eviction powers if the group has six or more vehicles on site, or if the trespassers have caused damage to the land or used threatening/abusive behaviour. [1, 2, 3] New Criminal Offence: Under amendments made by the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, residing on land without consent in or with a vehicle is a criminal offence. Police can arrest or direct individuals to leave if they are causing significant damage, disruption, or distress. [1, 2] Vehicle Seizure: If trespassers fail to comply with a police direction to leave, or if they return to the land within 12 months, the police have powers under Sections 62 and 62C of the CJPOA to seize and impound their vehicles. [] The Role of the Council While the police handle criminal offences like property damage, the local council is the lead agency for dealing with unauthorised encampments on its own land. Because trespass itself is generally a civil matter, councils are typically required to carry out welfare assessments and obtain court orders (such as an injunction or County Court possession order) to formally evict the group, unless the situation escalates to the point where police choose to use their powers. The police do have powers to remove , arrest and impound but they consistently allow these people to criminally gain access to land with impunity, this is why they do it, they know the police are soft on them and would rather turn a blind eye. I feel for Andrew who has invested the last decade of his life turning this into something to be proud of .

Disappearing over the fence at Armadale the other week has obviously affected him significantly.

Good meeting that, hope Dan Gilkes will be ok, lad hasn’t had much luck with injuries.

Great win for the scorpions, particularly impressed with Ablitt and Harrison who don’t usually travel to well. All the best to Dan Gilkes - got to feel for the lad. As for team changes it’s fairly clear and obvious in my opinion as from the 1st June average change Jordan Jenkins can replace Gilkes. I know Jenkins hasn’t had an amazing start but he’s a quality rider and it was only last season where he banged in a bucket load of points at the EWR

Shocking. He will be lucky to keep his place at Edinburgh let alone Lynn.

Cookie is class on a bike but unfortunately he is just too un reliable we need a team thats complete. What changes could be made? Antti would be great at home, but falls short on away tracks.

It appears you can't just kick the trespassers off the land you / the council who own the land have to go to court to get a summons to remove them, something about they have human rights 😲. Fookin scumbags 😡😡. And the local plods won't want to know

Was it his right knee injury he was coming back from?

If he's been signed off by the doctor for a mental health issue, as that's a non-speedway injury / illness, he gets a 7 day suspension & Workington are allowed a guest, for up to 28 days I believe. If he doesn't have a doctor's note & is considered "withholding his services" Workington will get a 14 day facility, while Cook is suspended for 14 days. That's how I understand the rules. While I think the BSPL should do more to support riders suffering from mental health, for example banning Max James from the NDL because he wanted to take a break from the Champ, was just awful, I think it would take a doctor's note for something to be done?
