Hide AdSefton local policing Inspector Graham Fisher said: "We want everyone to be able to enjoy the sunny weather and Merseyside’s beautiful coastlines, but in a safe and considerate manner. We know the actions of a few inconsiderate people can affect the wider community so please, as ever, think about others when you use the region’s beaches including how you drive, park, play music or dispose of your litter.
"We know that the vast majority of people are responsible and look out for each other. But anyone breaking the law or behaving in an antisocial manner will be dealt with robustly by our officers.
“We will have officers on quad bikes patrolling our coastlines during the summer months and I would urge anyone who witnesses any antisocial behaviour, or has any concerns, to speak to them.”
