"The Lord Derby" bike meet (Hampshire )
Discussion
Dont know if any of you guys and girls go to this meet,but in the local Basingstoke Gazette i found the following,
( POLICE CRACKDOWN ON BIKERS MEETING.
A zero tolerance policy has been adopted as the police mount a controversial crackdown on a popular monthly bikers meeting in north hampshire.
The hardline approach has been addopted because of fears that the event is growing to large to be conducted in a safe and responsible way.
Inspector Raison of the "Hampshire police north traffic division,said: "Nothing would please us more than to see these meetings come to an end.
the disruption to the local area and the few incidents of dangerous driving are a great concern".
At the meeting last wednesday night more than 35 traffic police officers attended the event and the 2,500 people who gathered on the A287 near the Lord Derby were met by the officers to check their machines to make sure they were not breaking any laws.
A police spotter plane also flew overhead to video the event to detect any possible offences.)
Bearing in mind this meeting has been going on since 1995 and hasnt experienced any problems
So basically your enjoying yourselfs to much ,,now i dont really worry about the police after all they are the nessasary evil but i worry about thess jobsworths that pull on a british uniform! ,why cant they just leave people to enjoy themselves after all no harm has been done in the last 8 years??

I think you'll find that one of local dignitaries has made some noise recently. Seeing how utterly arrogant the bunch of councillors who call themselves the B'stoke and Deane Council Cabinet can be I wouldn't be surprised. The area is run for the convenience of those in charge and not for the people. If you're a local remember this come election time and ask as many hard questions as publicly as you can...
If you happen to be in the wards of either Councillors Shaw or Hussey ask them in detail about traffic policy and how they voted regarding Pack Lane and their own areas. Satisfy yourself that they should be in the positions they are and vote accordingly.
I know I'm right...
