Police Community Message - Buxton - B132 Fake Switchover Company
A company called 'The Digital Switchover Group' are attending addresses and providing a pink leaflet. They also state that they are working on behalf of the Government. They claim that homeowners would not be able to get digital TV without extra equipment (Digital UK have confirmed that none of these details are correct and Freeview would be available for many years).
The scam is being used in an effort to sell unnecessary satellites and aerials but may also be used as a method of gaining access to properties.
Digital UK have provided the website address of www.paras.org.uk (Professional Aerial Riggers Against The Sharks) which has been set up for anyone that would like further information about the digital switchover.
If you have any information please contact Operation Liberal on 0345 123 33 33.

Empty homes going to wasteAt the Derbyshire Dales District Council meeting on 26th November, the councillors learnt that 800 homes have stood empty in Derbyshire Dales for over 6 months. The council has dispensed with a formerly successful staff post to push for the empty homes to be brought back into use e.g. to meet housing needs across the district. Meanwhile it is willing to plunder green-field sites to build new homes. [27/11] |

West Yard greenfield site seen from Church Street (13th June 2009). Click photo to enlarge. Some of the view will now be filled with buildings. If the developer fulfills his publicly stated intention, to build a 23 home mini-housing estate on this rising site, even more of the excellent landscape and vista will be destroyed. |
Planning Application for West Yard greenfield site
Despite objections by Tansley Parish Council and 50 Tansley residents, the DDDC Planning Dept. recommended its approval.
At the council meeting on 22nd October, the Conservative led policy and zeal for building Affordable Homes, even on a formerly protected, highly valued and unsuitable greenfield site, brought approval.
