WARNING - BIKE THEIVES OPERATING IN SWADLINCOTE

Please ask your children to lock up their bikes when leaving them in outside, even if only for a few minutes. I have dealt with two incidents of bike theft recently where children have left their bikes unlocked just for a few minutes and they have been taken , one occurred outside the Library in Swadlincote and one at Eureka Park.
There are groups who will take bikes if they are seen unlocked even in the middle of the day and in busy public areas. Bike locks will deter the majority of thieves .

Lauren Brooks, Cycling UK’s digital communications and media officer, offers some great advice to help you avoid someone else riding away into the sunset on your beloved bicycle

Swadlincote Town Centre PSPO Consultation

Views are being sought on proposals to renew the Swadlincote Town Centre Public Space Protection Order.

South Derbyshire Community Safety Partnership would like to renew the Public Space Protection Order in Swadlincote Town Centre which has been in operation for the past three years.

The anti-social behaviour in Swadlincote Town Centre is mainly committed by young people causing a nuisance during the evenings and school holidays. This includes climbing onto roofs, throwing items, cycling in a dangerous manner, causing damage and being abusive.

There have also been recent reports of adult street drinking in the town and it is anticipated that this may worsen with the warmer weather if the PSPO is not renewed.

The PSPO gives the Police and the Council's Community Safety Enforcement Officers additional powers when dealing with anyone causing anti-social behaviour.

The Police have been consulted and have expressed their desire to renew the order for a further three years.

For more information and to register your views via the online form please visit this Council Webpage: https://www.southderbyshire.gov.uk/our-services/crime-and-community-safety/public-spaces-protection-order-pspo/public-space-protection-order-pspo

The deadline date for the consultation is Friday 21st August 2026

Women and girls in Derbyshire are being asked to share their views and experiences on sexual harassment, stalking, domestic abuse and other crimes which disproportionately affect them.

From changing their regular exercise route to having to deal with misogynistic behaviour when on a night out, PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts wants to hear the reality of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) from those it directly affects.

The survey is open to all women and girls across Derbyshire to share any experiences they have had of crimes such as harassment, domestic abuse, sexual offences, stalking, cyber flashing and drink spiking.

The focus continues to be on targeting the perpetrators of VAWG crimes through prevention and education, calling out those responsible and challenging inappropriate behaviour. This survey helps us to hear from more women and girls, shaping future improvements in public safety.

When problem or nuisance behaviour affects your community, it’s important to report it so it can be addressed.

Understanding anti-social behaviour (ASB) and how to report it can be key in getting the issues addressed quickly and prevented in the future.

We’ve created an interactive quiz on our Facebook and Instagram page to help you test your ASB knowledge and learn more.

📅 Community Catch up Swadlincote 📅

A dispersal order has been put in place for Swadlincote town centre following increased reports of anti-social behaviour.

The Section 34 notice began at 18:30 hours on Friday 6th March 2026 and will remain in place until 18:30 hours on Sunday 8th March 2026. Please see the map below, the area highlighted in red is the area covered by the dispersal order.

Over the last few days, we have seen an increase in ASB and calls for service with large groups of youths hanging around on High Street, Swadlincote. This behaviour is having a negative impact on local businesses and the community.

In order to proactively tackle any anti-social behaviour, SNT have increased the amount of high visibility patrols on the High Street.

We have implemented a section 34 Dispersal order for the following areas this weekend as a preventative measure to minimise any issues.
The power allows officers to disperse anyone for up to 48 hours who
• Causes harassment, alarm, or distress to the public, or
• Contribute to crime, disorder, or anti-social behaviour.
Removing any under 16’s from the area to a place of safety. Fail to disperse following a request from officers carries a power of arrest.
** Parents – SNT would like to direct appeal to yourselves to ensure you know the whereabouts of your children and where they intend to go **

⚖️ Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offence for which you can be prosecuted. Before you pay someone to take away your rubbish think of the SCRAP code.
