Dear Resident
Happy New Year from your Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team!
During the month of December several incidents of flooding (due to a blocked drain) on Spend Lane were reported by drivers, residents and the local Water Bailiff. The issue was also raised at the Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team Governance Meeting held on 9 December 2009 at Fenny Bentley School. Also mentioned was the missing ‘Warning’ sign from the A515 opposite Valley View, Fenny Bentley. All relevant agencies have been informed and hopefully the issues will soon be rectified.
The B5056 to Bakewell is still closed to traffic and this has caused many logistical issues. On 1st December a track machine being used by the workmen at the site of the landslide had its windscreen stolen. This is not common practice around this area, but it does happen!.
On 31st December at approximately 7pm at Mappleton a suspicious incident was reported. A resident was walking through the village, when a male pulled up in silver estate car and asked if they would like a lift to Ashbourne, offer refused and the vehicle drove away.
Dog fouling! ….this is happening at Fenny Bentley on a regular basis on the lane leading to Ashes Farm Barn. Please be considerate and think of the children, walkers and residents that enjoy the area.
If anyone has any information regarding these incidents please contact Ashbourne Police on 0345 123 33 33. Other useful numbers are at the bottom of this post.
On a lighter note, the Mappleton New Years Day Boat Race and Bridge Jump was a great success although it was very, very cold; apparently the water was the coldest for many years. No incidents were reported at the event.
At Fenny Bentley on 1st January a vehicle skidded off the road and damaged a fence, no injuries but a narrow escape for the driver. Two days later another vehicle skidded off the road into a garden, down a steep bank, again no serious injuries; this was at Kniveton during the day at around 1pm. (more…)
