The ACU Local Authority Support Unit The ACU Local Authority Support Unit (LASU) was launched in January 2005 with funding support from Motorsport Development UK (MDUK). Its remit is to offer assistance to Local Authorities, Police Forces and other interested parties who are experiencing problems as a result of illegal off road motorcycling.The main issue facing Local Authorities are the social disruption and safety concerns caused by the inappropriate and often illegal use of motorcycles in public areas. These problems have been exacerbated by the effects of increased popularity for the activity coupled with a lack of provision throughout the country. Local Authorities, Police Forces and communities are faced with two options to deal with the problem: 1. Police the issue away with enforcement 2. Organise well planned provision, with targeted enforcementThe first option, policing the issue, is often seen as the beast solution but has, in the past, simply moved the problem elsewhere, only to see it return to a community over time.LASU believes that providing a legal and safe place to ride with targeted enforcement is the best solution. Where LASU has established provision for mini motos, there has been a significant drop in the number of complaints received regarding illegal mini moto use.By contacting LASU, Local Authorities and Police Forces have access to professional assistance to identify the type of problem, its size, nature and location as well as receiving help to create a workable solution. For off road problems, LASU can provide assistance with the following issues:Feasibility StudiesLand Access and PlanningCourse and Venue DesignInsuranceEnvironmental IssuesNoise Monitoring and TestingTraining of Officials, Marshals and InstructorsCodes of Best PracticeCreating Community ProjectsPractice Tracks To help Local Authorities and Police Forces to provide safe and legal riding for mini motos, LASU has written a set of guidelines that will enable them to create a LASU Registered Recreational Mini Bike Club on a peice of available tarmac.The Guidance includes advice on:Health and SafetyChild ProtectionFirst AidTraining for Clerks of the Course, Marshals and InstructorsRunning a Mini Bike Session The mechanism LASU can deliver is extremely cost effective when compared to costs incurred by Local Authorities and Police Forces in enforcement. In addition, it provides young people with a chance to enjoy their motorcycling in a controlled environment, safe from prosecution and bike seizure.
