Bob StaveleyAn anonymous appeal has been launched in the villages of Ockbrook & Borrowash campaigning over instances of vandalism in the area.
Police in Borrowash have issued a fixed penalty notice to a man for breaching a section 13 order.
This type of order is to prevent drinking alcohol in designated public areas. A 19-year-old man was caught to be breaching this order on Fosse Close in Borrowash and was issued a £50 fixed penalty notice.
PCSO Matthew Boyer from Borrowash and Ockbrook Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “We would like to reiterate to members of the community that these orders are put into place for a reason and anyone caught to be breaching them will be issued with a fixed penalty notice.”

Erewash Sound features a tribute to popular Borrowash village barber Ron Newton - the popular hairdreser ran a salon on the main road in the village for decades, until the effects of cancer forced him into a brief retirement before leading to his sad death.
School girls from Borrowash have parodied a Summer hit by Katy Perry & Snoop Dogg and even filmed the video in a village park, which was then published on YouTube.
