e-bike theft
The Bakewell Safer Neighbourhhod Team reported to the Parish Council’s November meeting. While there have been no reported crimes around Monyash, an e-bike was stolen from Hathersage. There’s been an increase in high-value bike thefts recently so residents are advised to be mindful about the security of such items.
We’d include e-scooters in that advice. The full report can be read or downloaded here.

Your opinions will influence the community engagement and delivery of services within your area. We want to better understand what’s great and what’s not so great about where people live so we can work with residents to help tackle any worries and issues that you may have. You can find the survey at this link.

Derbyshire Police and Crime Plan 2024-29 survey
Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni has launched a consultation on the Police and Crime Plan for Derbyshire. The responses to this consultation will directly feed in to the Plan and help her team to tackle the challenges that will make Derbyshire safer. The Commissioner understands that to do this, the Plan needs to truly reflect the needs of communities throughout Derbyshire. To help achieve this, please complete the survey which you will find at this link: https://qrco.de/PoliceAndCrimePlanSurvey.
