It focuses on five core goals, designed to make a positive impact on the people, communities, organisations and businesses within Derby and Derbyshire: Through our Civic University Agreement, we are making a clear statement of intent as to how we will approach our civic role moving forward. However, the ambitions we have set out need support from others if we are to achieve them and I am overwhelmed by the positive response from the organisations we approached to be signatories and who will be alongside us on this important journey.” This is the first Safer Streets round in which funding is being directly awarded to Police and Crime Commissioners rather than competed for.

And Derby are also hoping to keep Bird beyond his current deal which expires next summer and are eager for him to put pen to paper to help the club push for a return to the Championship. Speaking to Derbyshire Live this morning ahead of the home game against Bristol Rovers at the weekend, Derby head coach Paul Warne said: "Both will be offered a new deal.

Generally speaking, it is absence makes the heart grow fonder. Historically, for me and I can only speak for me, is that when I've had a bid turned down in the summer I try to return to it in January unless I know it's absolutely impossible. It wouldn't surprise me to have offers for Cash and Birdy because they are very good players. I wouldn't actually say it's the same clubs that were rumoured to be interested in them during the summer either. It could be anyone. Asked if he was expecting offers for Bird and Cashin, Warne said: "I am pretty much. There haven't been any players who I've bid for in the summer in my own career that I've gone off three months later. Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster said: “This additional funding is good news for the county. It will strengthen my own investment and focus on intrusive crimes that have a lasting and detrimental impact on victims. Bird attracted significant interest from Hull City in the summer with Liam Rosenior's side having two bids rejected for the academy graduate. But an ankle injury sustained in a game against Oxford United meant the Tigers were forced to look elsewhere and ended up signing Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton on loan.
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire communities set to benefit from new state-of-the-art 999 mobilising system Derby County will offer new contracts to midfielder Max Bird and defender Eiran Cashin as they look to secure their futures at Pride Park.

This is why ASB, neighbourhood crime and VAWG are key priorities in my Police and Crime Plan. Derbyshire Dales District Council planning officers have recommended that the 57-home plans are approved at a meeting this week. Among the 57 homes would be 17 affordable properties, comprising eight one-bed flats, eight two-bed houses and one three-bed house. I am determined to protect citizens and help catch more criminals. This funding will be prioritised in areas where need is greatest and where it can be used to deliver maximum results. I will be working closely with partners over the coming weeks to prepare our bid.”
It also feels the planned location of a children’s play area close to Porter Lane is an unsafe spot. Derbyshire County Council says that Middleton Community Primary School and Anthony Gell School (a secondary) both have sufficient capacity to take on new pupils linked to the new development.
