Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay recently visited Doe Lea, on the Bolsover/North East Derbyshire border, to hear directly from partners and residents about ongoing anti-social behaviour affecting the area.
The visit focused on long standing concerns along Doe Lea Lane, where issues have included fly tipping, arson, land damage and wildlife crime.
Tackling these problems has involved sustained partnership working between Derbyshire Constabulary, local councils, the National Trust, community volunteers and other agencies.
A Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is now in place, supported by this joint approach.
🚧 Discussions highlighted the wide range of activity underway — from enforcement and clean up operations to patrols and evidence gathering tools, including the use of drones — all aimed at improving safety and protecting the local environment.
🤝 The vital role of volunteers was also recognised, along with the value of continued partnership working and stronger links with local Neighbourhood Watch groups to help keep the area safe.

Deputy PCC Dr. Fatima Eltinay recently attended a gathering at Police Headquarters in Ripley to meet organisations supported through the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund and to hear about the progress of their community projects.
The fund provides grants of up to £5,000 to non profit organisations, charities and voluntary groups, giving locally based organisations the resources they need to respond to the challenges facing their own communities. 💷
Submissions were received from across every local authority area in Derbyshire, with 30 successful projects chosen to focus on preventing harm and improving safety — including work to address anti social behaviour, substance misuse, domestic abuse and serious violence.
👏 The event offered a chance to recognise the dedication of those delivering this work on the ground and to reflect on the positive difference this funding is helping to create across the city and county.
