Ahh dont just get the riders in the local area, Get the local community as in Old people, get pcso's to agree with it, give them reasons for why it would help the area, and then the council just cant say no. If the local community need it, and it can be proved to reduce problems in the local community then i dont see any reason why they cant do it. It may take years, and alot of patience. You may have to raise money and stuff, but in the end itll be worth it.
