Safer Neighbourhood News Residents in our locality are encouraged to be responsible pet owners Dog owners are being reminded to be responsible when out and about with their pet. The advice has been issued after residents and local farmers have raised concerns with their local Safer Neighbour- hood policing team about people not keeping their dogs under control, especially around sheep and livestock. PCSO Meikel Miller of the Somercotes and Riddings Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “Concerns have been raised from members of the local community about dogs being let off the lead and chasing sheep in the area, and there have been incidents in the past where sheep have been attacked and injured, or killed. “Whilst most dog owners are responsible, some dog owners need to be reminded that they must not allow their dog to chase or attack livestock. In a field containing sheep, dog walkers must always have the dog either on a lead or under close control as it is an offence to allow a dog to worry livestock on agricultural land.” General advice for dog owners is to: * Keep dogs on a lead around busy roads * If you know your dog is not good with other dogs then avoid letting them off the lead where there are other dogs around. * If you are in an area where there are farm animals or wildlife, make sure you keep your dog under control, particularly during lambing season when you should keep them on a lead. * If you allow teenagers or youngsters to walk the dog, make sure they would be able to control them while out walking. * Encourage and reward good behaviour- teach your dog commands such as sit, stay and to come back when called. * Always clean up after your dog, carry ‘poop scoop’ bags and dispose of the waste in a litter bin. PCSO Miller added: “Incidents of this nature are distressing to the animals, upsetting and also costly for farmers. Please make sure you keep your dog under close control or on a lead when near to sheep and other livestock.” The Kennel Club offers advice on the countryside code for dog walkers, visit www.thekennelclub, or for the full code visit: www.gov.uk You can also contact your local Safer Neighbourhood policing team by calling 101 or emailing from the website at www.derbyshire.police.uk Please support “village litter pick day”- Sunday 12th March - See page 21 Geoffrey Griffiths LMS Stanier Pacific -4 6-2 No 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' is in full flow as the train approaches the site of Codnor Park & Ironville station (closed in 1967) with the 'York Yuletide Express' (Ealing Broadway - York), running some 45 minutes late on 17th December 2016 Codnor Castle - The Ironville Connection By Trevor Middleton Codnor Castle has a long and varied history: dating back, indeed, to at least the thirteenth century. That history is rich with connections to the villages of Codnor, Loscoe, Heanor and Langley Mill, which lay to the south of the Cas- tle, and were partly bounded by its deer park.

  • In the Ripley Derbyshire County Council Electoral ‘Division’, Not Heanor)
    David Williams June 5th 2012 (Home : Answerphone); email Dear Sir / Madam KEEP CODNOR AND WAINGROVES TOGETHER (in the Ripley Derbyshire County Council Electoral ‘division’, not Heanor) It is understood that the Local Government Boundaries Commission for England (LGBCE) is currently deliberating the changing (or not) the boundaries of a number of English County Council electoral ‘divisions’, including those for Derbyshire. As a resident of Waingroves, Ripley, Derbyshire, these apparently comprise moving a substantial part of Waingroves and Codnor (adjacent to Waingroves) from the Ripley county electoral division into Heanor. From the perspective of Waingroves residents, this has to be opposed for a number of reasons: 1. Waingroves has a natural affinity with Ripley, being a village adjacent to the town. This arises out of Waingroves’ history as a village founded on coal mining from 1859 when the pit was sunk to 1922, when it closed because of a strike. Bordering Waingroves is Codnor, which like its neighbour experienced rapid population growth based on the expansion of the coal mining industry, particularly from the mid-1800’s. All the coal mines established were owned by the Butterley Company – based in nearby Ripley. Since all the pits were owned by the Butterley Company So, as the social infrastructure (schools, council housing, hospitals, local government, community and sports facilities) developed, all economic and social life tended to be attracted towards Ripley. This trend continues until the present day. Local communities in Waingroves and Codnor use Ripley for entertainment (e.g. public houses and clubs), shopping and services, not Heanor. 2. Local government re-organisation from 1972 to 1974 followed local social realities so that under the newly created Amber Valley Borough Council, Codnor and Waingroves have shared two ward councillors since then.
