Budget Consultation Meetings - Preventing Harm in our Communities

Invitation from the Chief Constable, Mick Creedon and the Chairman of the Derbyshire Police Authority, Janet Birkin.

You are invited to attend one of the annual Derbyshire Police Authority and Derbyshire Constabulary Budget Consultation meetings. The main purpose of these meetings is to discuss the Police Authority’s funding and budget for 2009/10. This ensures that the Police Authority is better informed when making its decision on the 2009/10 budget.

This will be an interactive meeting and will give all who attend an insight into police work and the challenges we currently face. We would really like to see you there - your views are important to us - in particular on issues such as local policing, key operational risks and the quality of service that we are able to deliver.

If you are able to attend, please phone 01773 733798 or e-mail, police.authority@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk

Terrace Road Incident

A Fire Engine, an Ambulance and three Police Cars all attended an incident at the Terrace Road bus stop at 1pm this afternoon. No firm details as yet but an eyewitness said all this was in response to a gentleman who was in some 'distress' and suggested that "pre Christmas cheer" may have been to blame.

If you have more information then please do let porthole know.

Buxton Freecycle

The Freecycle concept is simple; if you have 'stuff' you no longer need offer it for free on-line and see who responds; recycling made easy! Porthole have recycled a car, a bike, lots of kitchen stuff, several PC's and a mountain of cardboard boxes after a move. We have recieved a TV, table and a big box of lego for a church creche; all with no money changing hands!

Freecycle operates in 85 countries, where there are thousands of local groups representing millions of of members -- people helping people and "changing the world one gift at a time." As a result, they are currently keeping over 500 tons a day out of landfills!

The Buxton group has almost 2000 members and has been operating since October 2006. To see what is on offer and to make an offer you need to be a member, but membership is free; so join, take a look and start easing the load on landfill.

Buxton Rugby Club 1st XV

Buxton Rugby Club 1st XV showed their best form of the season last Saturday playing away at Widnes. The final score of 8 – 3 hardly does justice to a thrilling match played in appalling conditions. “From the warm up to the last whistle this was a focused, disciplined and physical performance that saw Buxton consolidate their position at the top of the league” wrote Andy Stokes on the club website.
