New Government Rules Around Social Gatherings

New Government rules around social gatherings are now in place, in a bid to limit the spread of coronavirus.

The new rules state that when meeting with people you do not live with, you must not meet in a group of more than six. The same rules apply whether you are indoors or outdoors.

Chief Inspector Becky Webster, who is in charge of the policing response to COVID-19 at Derbyshire Constabulary said:

“I’d really like to stress that preventing the spread of the virus is a shared effort and police will play their part alongside the Government, local businesses, hospitality owners, local authorities and others.

“We know that the vast majority of our communities have followed the restrictions so far and have made personal sacrifices to do so, in order to keep themselves, their families and friends safe. I’d like to thank the public for their efforts so far and urge people to continue taking the regulations seriously so that we can all protect ourselves and others.

“Officers will continue to be out in our communities engaging, explaining and encouraging people to follow the new regulations and they will have the power to disperse groups of more than six people.

“For those who break the rules and refuse to comply, officers can issue fines.

 “However, we are now in a situation where the demands on the police service have returned to pre-COVID levels.

“As such I would encourage everyone to play their part and take personal responsibility for following the rules, and only consider contacting police as a last resort, as we must work together to prevent the spread of this virus.”

The Government have compiled a frequently asked questions page on their website and this also outlines any exemptions to the rule of six. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with this guidance and any exceptions.

Restrictions at Household Waste Recycling Centres eased


Residents will be able to visit our Household Waste Recycling Centres any day of the week from today 5th August 2020.
The layout of our nine centres have been improved to accommodate more vehicles on site at any one time while allowing visitors to maintain two metre social distancing  – meaning the odd and even number plate system put in place to restrict the number of vehicles visiting the sites is no longer in place.
Councillor Simon Spencer, Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways Transport and Infrastructure, said:
“I’d like to thank the public for their patience while we’ve been dealing with this unprecedented situation and for continuing to follow our instructions to help things run smoothly.
“I’m pleased that we’ve been able to improve the layout of our sites to accommodate more vehicles but it’s still not business as usual.
“We’re still not at full capacity so visitors should still be prepared to queue at busy times or return at a quieter time. Social distancing measures are still in place and site users will still need to carry their own waste. Skips and ramps should only be approached when it’s clear to do so and visitors should wash their hands when they get home and, of course, stay at home if they’ve had coronavirus symptoms in the last 14 days, are self-isolating or at high risk of contracting the virus.”
Our recycling centres open seven days a week from 8.30am-6pm in the following locations: Ashbourne, Bolsover, Bretby, Chesterfield, Glossop, Ilkeston, Loscoe, Northwood (Darley Dale) and Waterswallows - near Buxton.
Anyone using the sites should wear protective gloves and suitable clothing and footwear to allow them to carry their own waste. Only one person per vehicle should get out of the vehicle unless they need someone to help lift heavy items and children and pets should remain in the vehicle for their own safety and the safety of others.
The queue checking system on the our website is no longer in place now more vehicles are allowed on site.
For more information about the types of waste accepted at the sites and all the latest safety information .
Business or trade waste is not accepted.
The site at Waterswallows is operated on the council’s behalf by SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK and the remaining eight are operated by Renewi UK Services Ltd.
Derby City Council runs a separate household waste recycling centre at Raynesway in Derby which is subject to separate restrictions.

COVID-19 INFORMATION PAGE UPDATE 23rd JUNE 2020

MORE INFORMATION
We’ve teamed up with partners across Derbyshire to deliver a message worth repeating: stay at home, protect the NHS, and save lives.
We’re releasing this short video together ahead of the predicted warmer weather this weekend, and the Easter weekend that follows.
It is our duty to try and limit the spread of coronavirus but we know that with sunnier skies comes the temptation to go out and get together with family and friends.
But it is critically important that we all continue to abide by the ongoing restrictions on movement and the rules on social distancing.
Everyone featured in this video plays a role in society that means they don’t have the luxury of staying at home. They all head out to work every day to keep our society moving.
So please watch the short clip and remember that we are all in this together. We need to protect the NHS, and by staying at home and heading out only locally, we can all play our part in saving lives.
This video has been created by a team including Derbyshire Constabulary, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, Derby Mountain Rescue Team, the Peak District National Park Authority, High Peak Borough Council, South Derbyshire District Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council, Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton, and the Central England Co-op.
