Wales Off-Road Motors Steering Group (WORMSG)

Emerging from a conference hosted by the Forestry Commission Wales and CCW in 2004, the Wales Off-Road Motorcycling Steering Group (WORSMG) was formed to try and develop a consensus to addressing three main issues:

• Effective enforcement of existing laws
• Provision/management of appropriate opportunities, and
• Responsible use & education.

The WORMS Group, which meets a number of times a year, is a partnership of user groups and other interested organisations, including CCW. The name of the group was modified in 2010 in recognition of their wider remit to consider all off-roading activity, including both motorcycling and 4x4 vehicle use. The Group’s work is guided by an Action Plan.
Two reports have been published (in 2006 and 2010) and these are available for download. The Reports include further information about the work of WORMSG partners across Wales as well as the Action Plan for the Group’s work going forward:
