Issue Date Tuesday 9th April 2024

1. Over the past few months New Mills, Hayfield and Birch Vale SNT have been conducting regular high visibility patrols as well as completing Derbyshire alert surveys to look at concerns raised by you. We have been out conducting reassurance patrols and doing house to house enquiries in relation to the spate of burglaries. Where we are trying to identify the people responsible.
2. When engaging with the local community we have received reports of ASB around the Town Centre and High Street, SNT have been conducting High Visibility targeted patrols around these areas at the reported times, also completing surveys with residents in and around the areas that have reported ASB. We have also been doing targeted patrols around areas of reported use of off road motorbikes being driven in an anti-social manner. There has been a significant drop in reports of ASB compared to 2023 so We will continue to robustly deal with any reports of ASB and work alongside our youth engagement team to reduce calls for service.
3. Speeding has also been highlighted as an issue and Community speed watches have been conducted in areas that have reported excess speeding. We are also seeking more volunteers to help with Community Speed watch. Please contact us for further information. There has also been an issue with dangerous parking around Schools in all our areas and we will be working with School/parents to educate about putting Childrens safety first when coming out of school and SNT patrolling these areas during these times.
