TEENS on motorbikes are dangerously racing up and down a public footpath near a primary school.

The youths were riding their motorbikes near Trotts Hill Lane which is close to Lyppard Primary School.

An eyewitness said: "It was yesterday (Thursday, April 7) at around 4.45pm at the bottom of Trotts Hill Lane east where it joins the footpath that runs along the back of Lyppard Primary school.

"I’d taken the dog for a walk and could hear them for a good 10 minutes before seeing the individual there.

"I did confront him and advised it was a public footpath and there was a school nearby.

"But it fell on deaf ears.

"I wouldn’t mind but there is a motocross course by the motorway at junction six where they can ride motorbikes in a controlled environment without putting others at risk.

"What concerns and annoys me most is it was so close to a primary school and could so easily end up in a serious accident."

The eyewitness reported the incident to West Mercia Police.
