Police are advising people to be extra vigilant after suspicious devices have been placed on two ATM’s (cash machines).
Between 6.30pm and 6.45pm on Tuesday 14th February, a device was placed on the ATM at a store at Granby Croft, Granby Road, Bakewell. While the person reporting this incident went inside the store to alert staff, the device was removed by the offender/s. Incident no: 509 of 14.2.12.
Just before 6.30pm on Wednesday 15th February, three men were seen acting suspiciously at a bank ATM, The Quadrant, Buxton. One of the men had placed a plastic object over the slot on the machine and then removed it when disturbed by a customer. Description: three men of Eastern European appearance, about 6ft tall, aged 40-50 years, well dressed. They headed towards the alley at the side of Pizza Express. Incident no: 573 of 15.2.12.
Crime prevention advice:
• Members of staff at premises with cash machines should check ATM’s regularly.
• Members of the community should check ATM’s carefully and avoid using them if there is a device on the machine or if anyone is acting suspiciously nearby. These offenders tend to maintain observations on the ATM during this type of incident.
• Report any suspicious activity around ATM’s to the bank or store and call Derbyshire police.
Anyone with information or CCTV near these locations should call 101, quoting the above incident number.
Thank you.
Trisha Mellor, B Division Community Information Officer,

Thank you to Heather and Carl W for letting us know that as from 25 March 2012, the 8.14 bus to Ashbourne and the 16.05 return will only run on schooldays. This means that during school holidays, the earliest bus to Ashbourne will be at 9.53 am and if you want to return in the afternoon you wtll have to catch the 14.47 or wait for the 18.15. The service will continue as normal during school term times.

For anyone who knew David Allingham, who owned the Bentley Brook Inn for 28 years, he passed away peacefully last week at his home on Anglesey.
The funeral was today (Tuesday Feb 14) at the church where they were married at Great Bowden.

We have received the following message from the Villages:
Firstly we would like to apologise for making our goodbyes in a less personal manner than we would have wished. We had hoped to host a Farewell drinks get-together but recent predicaments have meant we find ourselves challenged just to deal with our move. Once we are sorted out we hope to address the matter. We will be in Bakewell temporarily whilst we explore our next bolt holes both locally and in London, so hope to bump into familiar faces regularly. Our family has enjoyed a wonderful 12 years in Parwich and we feel sure that the new owners of Shaw Lane House (Charles & Judith Bailey) will feel the same.
Enclosing our warmest good wishes.
Stephen, Nadica, Archie & Louis Village

Wednesday
Visibility: three metres. Exposure protection: wetsuit, hood and boots.
I’ve discarded my gloves today, as they make drawing a little more cumbersome. The sun is shining. My buddy and I make our final checks, wade into the water and dive.
The visibility is very good and within the first ten minutes I spot a pipefish! It’s only the second I’ve seen in as many weeks. I signal Shep and he spots it, just as I get his attention. I find it unexpectedly unnerving initially; with its head out of sight, it’s like a snake in the grass!
We watch it for a while, then move on… another! We pass an area of weed and Shep spots two more.
It has been one of the best dives to date: one hour and twenty-five minutes of incredible sea life, good visibility and warm waters.
Everything was right, and we really thought we would see the illusive seahorse today. But no… still no horses.

Sadly we’ve just had the last Zumba class for the moment. Numbers have dropped to the point where the class is not viable for Lizzie. I am really sorry about this as I have enjoyed it so much. I am absolutely no good at dancing but it has been such a privilege to learn dance steps with a professional dancer. Zumba routines work both the body and mind. I was surprised at how hard I had to concentrate! And yes, it was sometimes an effort to get to the class but how fantastic to have yet another class arranged for us in the village! Also, I have not laughed till I cried for a long time!!

Just to warn that conditions underfoot are treacherous this morning. It’s currently raining into frozen ground so there is a lot of black ice on both the roads and footpaths.
