This Safer Neighbourhood area covers Holmewood, Grassmoor, Calow and Arkwright. It belongs to the North East Local Policing Unit.

Holmewood is an adjacent but distinct settlement situated close to Junction 29 of the M1 motorway. The proximity to the motorway has led to substantial industrial and distribution development on industrial estates adjacent to Holmewood.

Grassmoor is a small village, approximately three miles to the south of Chesterfield, while Calow and Arkwright (often referred to as Arkwright Town despite its non-town status) are also small villages in the vacinity.

Neighbourhood Priorities

1. Anti-social behaviour
2. Road safety issues including Speeding and parking nuisance.

Issue Date Monday 25th March 2024

1. Regular patrols around Heath Road, the park and Holmewood library. Continued high visibility patrols to deter any anti-social behaviour at weekends and evening times. SNT will continue to work closely with local secondary and primary schools to identify the culprits. Also continued school talks/ assemblies to engage and educate these youths around ASB.
2. Continued speed checks completed by SNT at key times to monitor and deal with traffic offences. Warning letters issued. Engage with school and liaise with partner agencies for example council enforcement. SNT are also working alongside local Community Speedwatch Groups at Sutton Scarsdale and Calow. Also hoping for a new start up CSW group in Holmewood in the near future.
