Over the two bike tagging events we held in Southport this weekend, PCSO's from the Southport Local Policing Team fitted security tags to 57 bikes at Dunes Leisure Centre on Saturday, and 67 tags to bikes at Mecycle in Ainsdale on Sunday. The tags cannot be removed and mean that we can identify who the owner of the bike is, whoever is in possession of it.

Security advice is STILL to ensure that a high quality lock, that cannot be cut through, is used whenever your bike is left anywhere, even in the shed/garage at home, and that you ALWAYS secure your bike to a sturdy pillar or post.

Thanks to all who came along, especially those waited very patiently in the queues on Saturday and Sunday. Don't forget to complete the online registration of your tag.

Thanks also to the staff at Dunes and Mecycle for helping us host the events.

More bike tagging events will be planned in the coming weeks/months, after we secure funding for more security tags.
