The path has created an easy access for e-bikes and motorbikes to quickly make off from the Marton Road area and Scholars Rise. Since the opening of this path we have seen an increase in crime including, burglaries, cars being stolen, trespassing in gardens and antisocial behaviour. There has been police incidents on the neighbouring estate meaning when the criminals have made off, the police have not being able to chase them through the cut. This path is used more by criminals than it is by residents. This is putting an increase pressure on police by not being able to track criminals down, it is causing increased fear for residents by not feeling safe in their own home or on the estate. The majority of residents at Bracken Grange want this path closing, it should never have been opened as majority of the Bracken Grange estate opposed to it!
