Cyclists who ride their bikes on the pavements of busy pedestrian areas have come under fire.
Spalding resident Bob Steel has blasted those who ride on pavements, saying it’s an accident waiting to happen.
Mr Steel, who walks into town regularly, says Winsover Road has become one of the worst areas for offending, along with Market Place and Hall Place.
He said: “It’s just so dangerous. If a small child or an elderly person got in the way they could be knocked down and seriously hurt.
“I want to see the police doing something about it.
“We need an officer to stand on Winsover Road for an hour or two and give out some warnings or fines. That will soon stop people doing it.”
Mr Steel says he has contacted the police directly about the problem on several occasions.
Spalding Community Policing Inspector Jim Tyner, said: “I have no current plans for further enforcement days because I have to prioritise the tasks for my limited resources.
“If community policing panels raise cycling as an issue in the future, then I will have to consider all options.
“We will continue to deal with errant cyclists, but only in the same way that we deal with other road users.
“While I am not tasking my officers with specific road safety operations, I have an expectation that all officers who come across illegal cycling or driving deal with that issue as part of their routine police work.”
