As you will be aware, the priorities over the last 3 months for the Bakewell Safer Neighbourhood Team have been Road Safety which involves the concern of Speeding in communities and dangerous parking offences such as those committed by parking on a white line system and the concern of burglary.

Following continued consultation with communities and reviews of your concerns, passed to us at community engagements events and through Derbyshire Talking surveys, you have indicated that you wish for Road Safety to continue as our priority. 

We are happy to mention that we have seen a reduction in burglaries across the beat areas the team cover. From surveys completed by members of the public in our area and following engagement with people at our community events and Street Meets we have seen a reduction in people saying that burglary is a concern in their community.

This doesn’t mean we are forgetting about burglaries; the Safer Neighbourhood Team will still offer crime prevention and target hardening advice, plus visits to victims of burglaries in the areas we cover.  

We will therefore continue with our efforts to improve Road Safety in the local area over the coming months and will be posting updates regarding our work on our social media channels – Facebook, X (twitter) and Derbyshire Alert.

If you wish to have your say and tell us what concerns, you in your community then please complete the Derbyshire Talking survey on the below link:
