                       Update from your local officer  October 2008 

Only a few items to report this month.

**The next Community Forum will take place at Parwich Village Hall, at 7.30pm on Monday 17th November 2008, and I hope to have Simon TRANTER, Derbyshire County Council Traffic and Safety Manager present to explain more about the grass verges situation. Everyone is welcome to attend.**

At around 2100 hours, 12th September 2008, damage was caused to a house door in Kniveton village by an unknown person banging on it. Also at Kniveton, on 27th September 2008, at 3pm, a Distraction Burglary occurred. A male caller stopped at a Cottage, and asked for a container of water, as his car was overheating. Whilst the occupant went to fill the container, the caller stole a wallet from the premises. On the same day a similar incident occurred at Shirley.

We have had a few thefts from motor vehicles. Between 14th July and 27th September 2008 a Land Rover Discovery parked at a farm at Parwich, was broken into and items stolen. On 17th September 2008 between 12 midday and 3pm, at Tissington, an insecure Daihatsu was entered and a Television taken from inside. Finally on 16th October 2008, a Peugeot 206 parked in an isolated location at Thorpe was entered by a door lock being forced. Nothing was taken though.

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.
