The warning came from Temporary Chief Insp for East Lindsey Colin Haigh on Thursday after a ticket was issued by a PCSO.

T/Chief Insp Haigh tweeted: “Cycling on pavements can present a significant public safety issue.

“This ticket will be the first of many for anti social cyclists.”

Cycling on the pavements has been an ongoing problem in the town for some time.

The Standard went out with PCSOs in June last year during a special operation to try and warn cyclists of the dangers of cycling on pavements.
