South Normanton and Pinxton are small market villages within the Bolsover District Council area, approximately ten miles south of Chesterfield Town Centre.
Both areas are adjacent to the main A38 Derby/Mansfield link road and Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway. The areas were predominantly mining villages and are still highly populated with ex-mining communities.
Current Priorities
Issue
1. Drug dealing in South Normanton & Pinxton.
2. Theft of motorbikes in South Normanton & Pinxton.
3. Anti-Social Behaviour across all recreational areas in South Normanton & Pinxton.
Action
1. High visibility patrols in the area to disrupt drug related activity and build intelligence. Plain clothed officers to be utilised, complete stop/search where grounds are met and execute warrants where appropriate.
2. High visibility patrols in the area at key times. Plain clothed officers to be utilised where appropriate. Build intelligence picture of people involved in theft of motorbikes. Conduct crime prevention events and offer advice of keeping your motorbike safe and secure.
3. High visibility patrols at peak times in an evening and weekends. Work alongside our youth engagement team to engage with the young people, signposting them to positive activities within the local area. Deliver inputs within schools to educate young people of the effects anti-social behaviour has on victims and the community. Issue anti-social behaviour letters to young people found engaging in anti-social behaviour, and consideration to be given for other suitable disposals, such as Immediate Justice and Acceptable Behavioural Contracts. Work alongside our partners at Amber Valley Community Safety Partnership, utilising our Public Space Protection Order powers.
