Just to make people aware, a man came up my drive and was looking about. When I asked if I could help he said he was looking for a holiday cottage but he didn’t know the name of the cottage or any information about where it was. I have reported the incident to the police. The man is about 5′ 6″ tall, mid 40s and driving a 2 door silver Focus ( I think).

Rural Crime Survey
Posted in Police on Friday May 22, 2015| Leave a Comment »
The National Rural Crime Network have commissioned the biggest ever survey to uncover the true impact of rural crime.
The survey, which runs for five weeks, offers the chance for people living or working in rural areas of Derbyshire to give their views in a national survey about crime and policing in the countryside, and it has been welcomed and promoted by the county’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Alan Charles.
With wildlife crime high on the Commissioner’s agenda, he’s encouraging people to fill in the survey which was launched on Wednesday, May 20.
The survey is the largest ever to delve into crime and anti-social behaviour in rural areas as well as on farms.
It will be open until Wednesday, June 24.

Firearms Amnesty
Posted in Police on Monday October 27, 2014| Leave a Comment »
A force-wide firearms surrender aimed at cutting the number of guns in circulation across Derbyshire is being launched today, Monday, October 27.
The operation is the first in 11 years to give people across the whole county the opportunity to hand over any firearms or ammunition they have, to help stop them getting into the wrong hands.These include air weapons, replica or imitation weapons such as BB guns, antique firearms or legally-held guns that license holders no longer want or need.
People who have guns that they want to hand over to Derbyshire police can do so at a number of enquiry offices across the county from today until Friday, November 7, from 7am to midnight.
To help raise awareness of the campaign, the force has produced a video comparing a fake ball bearing gun with a real, police-issue firearm. We want to know if viewers can tell the difference between the real gun and the fake one. To view the video, click the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-opWqbwf2Q&list=UUI6ScnSIKZtvckHcYIYCENA.
If you are on Facebook, you can tell us which you think is the real gun by searching for Derbyshire Constabulary and commenting below the video. If you are on Twitter, search for @DerbysPolice and tweet us your answer, using the hashtag #RealOrFakeGun.
The surrender means people can dispose of these items in a safe place. During the surrender, people handing in guns can remain anonymous. The history of each live weapon will be checked for evidence of its use in crime and if they have not been used in criminality, they will be melted down or recycled. (more…)
Dog fouling in Parwich village
Posted in Environment, Local government, Parish Council, Pets of Parwich, Police, Roads on Tuesday September 30, 2014| 1 Comment »
A range of people have asked the Parish Council to take action in relation to the ongoing dog fouling problem in the village:
It has been brought to the attention of Parwich Parish Council that there has been an increase in the number of incidents of dog fouling in the village.
This is of serious concern to members of the parish council and residents but is of particular concern to the staff at the primary school as dogs have been allowed to foul the public areas used by children. The affected areas include: the pedestrian walk way down to the school from Kiln Lane; the former cricket pitch, football pitch areas and the problem is also regularly occurring on other public areas such as village greens, playground areas and the rear of the Memorial Hall.
The health of vulnerable young children is of great concern to the school staff and the parish council members. The practice of allowing dogs to foul these areas must cease.

Thank you to one of our readers for letting us know about this:
Just wanted to inform you of a suspicious incident last night at about 11.00pm.

Police say “Thank You”
Posted in Police, Weather on Monday March 25, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Police are thanking mountain rescue teams and members of the community for their help during severe snowy conditions over the weekend.
It is as police continue to take a high number of weather related incidents, especially in more rural parts of the county, with the some of the worst affected areas being in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales. Heavy snowfall on Friday evening made many roads in the area impassable, including the A515 between Ashbourne and Buxton where dozens of motorists became stuck due to drifts and jack knifed lorries.Derby, Edale and Buxton Mountain Rescue Teams helped police to check that drivers were safe and offer assistance, along with a number of local farmers with tractors who worked with highways to clear as much of the road as possible.
The police helicopter was also called out to help a woman who had fallen and broken both of her wrists at Hartington, on Sunday, March 24, as vehicles were unable to get through. Crews transported a paramedic over to the woman, and then both the woman and the paramedic back to an ambulance.
Chief Inspector Tracy Harrison, from the force’s contact management department, said: “The heavy snow fall has meant a higher number of calls to police throughout the county, with numerous reports of motorists becoming stranded as they travelled through the Peak District.We would like to thank mountain rescue teams and all local volunteers for their valued assistance in helping to clear the roads and keep motorists safe, especially at a time when emergency services are stretched due to the volume of calls.”

PC Virus Scam
Posted in Police on Thursday November 29, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Derbyshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service has received reports from consumers who have received a ‘pop-up’ type message on their home computer screen informing them their computer has a virus, and that it may be removed for a fee of £75.
To appear more official, the message purports to be from the Police Central E-Crime Unit, PO Box 36451, London EC2M 4WN.
This is untrue, as the Police would not contact members of the public regarding any potential computer issue nor would they contact them in this manner.
Do not respond to the message and if possible, delete the message. Please do not attempt to forward it to anyone else as this may spread the problem to more computers.
Unfortunately, the ‘pop-up’ message has potential to lock and freeze your computer. Derbyshire Trading Standards Service would advise that if this happens, you seek professional help and advice in order to repair your computer.
If you receive the ‘pop-up’ message above, or similar, please notify Action Fraud – a central point of contact for information about fraud and financially-motivated internet crime. Their telephone number is 0300 123 2040.
