Over the past six months we have been alerted to a number of incidents of anti-social behaviour, robbery and assault on the Fallowfield Loop and adjoining routes. This has been a matter of great concern and the Friends have, along with others, raised the matter with the police, Sustrans and other bodies.
There has also been some concern that some of the press coverage has described some incidents as “on the Fallowfield Loop” when in fact they have not been – some have been near to the Loop or on other nearby parts of National Cycle Network Route 60. However, these crimes are deplorable wherever they occur, and it is promising that the latest news is that police have arrested four people. The police progress in this is greatly welcomed.
Please remember that if you experience or witness any anti-social behaviour on the Fallowfield Loop the action you should take is: in an emergency call 999, otherwise call the police on 101. Also notify Sustrans on 0161 923 6050 or by email.
