A registration scheme to make bicycles identifiable, so people can report ''clown'' cyclists to police, will be discussed at the Strath Taieri Community Board meeting at Middlemarch tomorrow, chairman Barry Williams says.
The proposed registrations were aimed at cyclists not observing the road rules on highways and the Dunedin city centre, not mountain bikers on off-road trails or those using the Otago Central Rail Trail.
''I have to register my trailer or I get prosecuted and guys using their motorbikes two or three times a year have to pay a huge registration fee, so they can be identified, where some of these clowns on push-bikes just go anywhere.''
Other topics on the agenda:Taieri Community Facilities Trust chairman Michael Stedman will report on the proposed new Mosgiel pool.
Mr Williams said scores of Strath Taieri residents would travel to use a new Mosgiel pool facility and he expected the board to support the vision of the trust.
Dunedin City Council contractors would be applying an oil-type product on gravel roads to suppress dust.
The board is updating a ''dust suppression list'' so roads where there are houses nearby are not missed.
The ''sterling'' work of retiring district nurse Pauline Carruthers, of Middlemarch, will be acknowledged, and how her retirement will affect the district discussed.
The ''criminal'' council fee to add a name to a cemetery headstone will be discussed.
''It's for nothing,'' Mr Williams said.
