We call on the Government to fund dedicated regional task forces to manage a coordinated approach in tackling bike & motorcycle thieves and keeping all road users safe.","additional_details":"We feel there needs to be a coordinated approach to tackling thefts and bike jackings. Thieves can not only cost bikers millions in damage and loss every year; they can also put them at risk of injury and death. Despite convictions of bike and motorcycle thieves, thefts and bike jackings continue on a daily basis. We call on the Government to fund the establishment of specialised and dedicated regional task forces to tackle this.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":18,"closing_date":"2027-02-10","created_at":"2026-07-11T10:56:31.580Z","updated_at":"2026-08-11T06:37:50.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-08-10T10:00:21.771Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-11T11:35:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Sarah Hickinbotham","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfT","name":"Department for Transport","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":18}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Brentwood and Ongar","ons_code":"E14001125","mp":"Alex Burghart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol Central","ons_code":"E14001131","mp":"Carla Denyer MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Bristol East","ons_code":"E14001132","mp":"Kerry McCarthy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol North East","ons_code":"E14001133","mp":"Damien Egan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol South","ons_code":"E14001135","mp":"Karin Smyth MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chippenham","ons_code":"E14001168","mp":"Sarah Gibson MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingston upon Hull East","ons_code":"E14001313","mp":"Karl Turner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Northamptonshire","ons_code":"E14001490","mp":"Sarah Bool MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wells and Mendip Hills","ons_code":"E14001572","mp":"Tessa Munt MP","signature_count":2}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":12}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
