BEAT the Street cheats driving between points boxes received heavy criticism from Adver readers.

People taking part in the town-wide interactive game the proper way - by foot or bicycle - have seen parents zipping children from point to point by car.

This defeats the point of the outdoor activity, which aims to encourage young people to get more active and exercise.

The Adver previously reported on concerns of cheating in 2018 and it seems to be happening again this time.

Here's what some of you had to say on the matter...

Sarah Beckett: "Yes, I see them all the time when I'm walking and cycling with my son.

"Some people have over 10,000 points for an individual , ridiculous. Just defeats the object really

"My son and I are enjoying getting out and being active though, so that's all we care about."

Betty Grace: "That's why I stopped doing it. People were on over 1,000 points after two days how is that possible?

"I walked 15 miles in two days and still was only on 440 points and 100 of those was that bonus 100 you get when you signed up."

Sam Carlton: "Can the system not work out that a person would have had to travel faster than 15mph to get from one box to another?"

Donna Rivers: "I have a box in front of my window and cars pull up all the time, ping it and drive off again! Not teaching the kids much!"

Roz Garfield: "One of the people cheating was a teacher."

Lily Townsend: "Get the time and box number and send it to the Beat The Street team and then their points won't be registered."

Alan Walklett: "I don’t have one of these things but I may get one just to use to dob the cheaters in."

Kirstie Benitez: "Please bear in mind some parents and children may have difficulties walking and are not able to participate in the intended way."

Paul Murphy: "Pointless cheating, you might as well not do it.

"Rubbish parenting, teaching kids to cheat."

Ness Blakely: "See how petty people are! I think they should lose their points because it isn’t fair.

"Surely it would be obvious that nobody can get from one box to another within two minutes?

"As usual, it’s the minority that ruin it for the majority."

Bethan Milford: "Beat the Street's website states you would lose them, but I guess you have to prove it first."

Jason Lyne: "Sad that people cheat. But to be fair, they are only really cheating themselves. You can get between the boxes much faster on a bike."

Hazel Nicholls: "I am 73 and am taking part again. I have joined in on the previous occasions too.

"I was out in the afternoon, and some of the boxes got tapped more than once because I had planned my route before I went out so that I didn't have to go too far afield.

"I tapped 15 boxes in two-and-a-half hours."

Vicky Bellinger: "I have been doing Beat the Street with my son.

"We drive to a place as there is no way I am walking from east Wichelstowe to, say, Redhouse, but we park up and walk to them all."

Gary Gunning: "A mate and I were watching the mums and dads drive to the one at the County Ground, there were loads of cheats."

Darryl McKinlay: "Surely they can tell how quickly someone travelled to the next one, so just don't count those scans and deactivate their fobs!"

Kim Harris: "While walking my dog, I got talking to a woman who was going round on her bike to get the fobs registered for her kids."

Simon Maisey: "Surely that's a right faff? Having to find somewhere to park, get out, get to the Beat the Street point, get back in the car, then on to the next one.

"There's no way it's any quicker than cycling. I managed to get 16 in my lunch break on my push bike.

"There's no way I could've done that in a car."

Moe Keohane: "How I see it is - if you can kick up a fuss over this then why don't we all stand up to the government as they are allowing people to starve and struggle?"
