A new scheme will mean that the public can help Derbyshire Police to crackdown on illegal parking.
The ‘Parking No’ trial will cover the areas of Ashbourne and Mercia, so if you live in these areas you’ll be able to send them photos of illegally parked cars.
See the link below for full details
Parking is a perpetual issue in Repton and has been getting worse recently around the Primary School. The Parish Council is working with the school and police to request more considerate parking behaviour so as to ensure the safety of the children. Please observe the Highway Code which states that vehicles should not stop or park near a school entrance, opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles or in front of an entrance to a property.
Reports have been received by the Parish Council of dog waste bags not being disposed of correctly. Please ensure that you clean up after your dog, and that this is then placed into a public litter bin or your own. A person who is guilty of an offence shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine. South Derbyshire Fouling of Land by Dogs Public Spaces Protection Order 2023 covers this in more detail and can be found at https://www.southderbyshire.gov.uk/our-services/crime-and-community-safety/public-spaces-protection-order-pspo. Please also be aware that Mitre Field is under the South Derbyshire Dog Exclusion Public Spaces Protection Order 2023, the only dogs allowed on Mitre Field are assistance dogs.
