Action
With it being such a rural location, it means we are heavily reliant on the public reporting any suspicious activity at the time by calling999 if occurring then, otherwise report online or by calling101. We are getting far too many people delaying in calling or worried that it may be something innocent. As always this continues to be a focus for the team due to the nature of the area and we are still working with different partners to implement some of the ideas we came up with earlier in the year even though the council are the lead agency. We are in contact with the councils Civil Parking Enforcement Team who are issuing many tickets, but we are encouraging the public to please report to Call Derbyshire on 01629533190 or [email protected] to make them aware of any issues/locations. we have started to do enforcement with the assistance from the forces Road Safety Team (CREST).Residents have already set up Community Speed watch schemes which are running well and would encourage anyone who is interested in setting up a scheme in their area to email the Speed watch Team
