the use of … e-bikes is currently illegal on a public road or areas set aside for pedestrians (which includes pavements, cycle lanes and foot paths).
The UK Highway Code would disagree: https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules . And I’m not even going to discuss the insanity that a “cycle lane” could possibly be considered an “area set aside for pedestrians”.
Thinking about this some more: is this legit? I’m not from the UK, and have only heard of Thames Valley Police from watching Endeavour on PBS. Do the police just email entire neighborhoods when they need leads?
Yeah it’s legit, I signed up for local police information when I first moved here. They post missing persons and details of crimes in the area, ask for DashCam, CCTV, doorbell cams etc.
Although unless they can solve a crime in minutes that really don’t seem interested. Unless it’s someone trying to get to work on an e-bike apparently.
The Neighbourhood Team is seeking your help for an important matter.
We are trying to find out if the department sends out email blasts when they need information from the residents. Specifically, do the police just email entire neighborhoods when they need leads?
If you have any information on this, it would be extremely helpful in understanding our current communication practices.
As a team, we value your input and recognize the importance of effective communication with our community members.
