Update from your local officer September 2008
Its been a fairly quiet month on our area. The downpour we suffered in the early part of September kept officers extremely busy around Ashbourne, and some of our villages did suffer from flooding.
We’ve had little crime. At around 2100 hours, 12th September 2008, damage was caused to a house door in Kniveton village by an unknown person banging on it.
We had another collision on the A515, near to the Rakes Lane junction, Tissington. A BMW overturned and the four occupants were lucky to come out virtually uninjured. I have submitted a report to Derbyshire County Council, via HQs, asking them to consider further possible improvements for this particular bend.
The next Community Forum will take place at Parwich Village Hall, hopefully around 12th November 2008, (DATE TO BE CONFIRMED).
I hope to have a representative from the Road Safety Partnership present to explain more about the grass verges situation. Once details are confirmed I’ll publicise them through the local press, and village notice boards. All are welcome to attend.
A few people attended the Crime Prevention event held at Kniveton, buying a number of items. We have a small stock at the Police Station of Shed alarms, Driveway Alarms, Smartwater, Marking Kits, and other items. Please call in if interested in looking at any items. We have seen a rise generally in the theft of scrap, and outbuildings and sheds continue to be broken into. We also continue to have Land Rovers stolen across the Division. Please make sure you lock them up, consider additional security, or simply block them in with other vehicles.
