She said: “Maddie’s picture shows a clear message of the dangers and consequences that can result in pulling wheelies on roads, around the town, and in Waterborne Walk.
“The poster also explains the powers that can be used under ‘section 35, anti-social behaviour’, which can result in the bikes being seized.
“Four children have recently been issued anti-social behaviour contracts with four more in the pipeline!”
Maddie’s poster was chosen as the winner from a shortlist of 15 other entries.
