Hi all,
What's the situation wrt landowners and the public cycling on their land ?
I suspect that, providing no damage to the land occurs, only Trespass applies, and that being a
civil matter, would not interest the police.
DETAIL:
There are more and more public access areas on private land on city/town centre developments where
pedestrians are quite welcome. The obvious ones are shopping centres.
What can shopping centre management/security officers really do if they don't want cyclists riding
their bikes on their land (while pedestrians are about) ?
I believe it can only be trespass and only after the cyclist has been asked to leave the land and
fails to do so.
Comments please.
TIA.
