Current Priorities

Issue

1. Thefts/Burglary In the Area
2 Speeding enforcement and community speed watch in Castleton.
3 Anti-Social Motorbikes

Action

1. At this time of year general thefts and burglaries tend to be higher and we would remind people make sure houses, sheds, garages and vehicles are always locked and valuables are left out of sight. Also, with it being such a rural location, it means we are heavily reliant on the public reporting any suspicious activity at the time by calling 999 if occurring then, otherwise report online or by calling 101.
2.We are encouraging locals to start a Community Speed Watch scheme in their area to help tackle the issue. Community Speed Watch is a scheme run by volunteers in communities where speeding and road safety is a concern. If you are interest in signing up, please contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) or contact the Speed Watch team by email: [email protected]
3.Feedback we have received is problems with off-road motorbikes on both the roads and across the countryside off-road. They are visiting sometimes in large groups speeding and driving dangerously along roads and bridleways causing upset to residents and damage to land. We as a team are looking at addressing this problem alongside all other road related issues.
