Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03
Derbyshire Police are appealing for information after a Sparrowhawk has died after being shot in Chesterfield.
00:09
The Derbyshire Rural Crime Team were contacted by the Pet Samaritans Animal Sanctuary in Old Whittington
00:15
regarding a Sparrowhawk that had been taken into their care.
00:18
A spokesperson for the crime team said,
00:21
the injured Sparrowhawk was found by a member of the public in the Walton area of Chesterfield on July 24th.
00:27
On closer inspection it became clear that the bird had been shot by what we believe to be an air rifle.
00:32
Sadly, despite the best efforts of staff at the Pet Samaritans, the Sparrowhawk has since died from its injuries.
00:38
Sparrowhawks are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981,
00:43
which means it is illegal to intentionally kill, harm or physically move them.
00:47
Anyone found guilty of killing a Sparrowhawk could face an unlimited fine and up to six months imprisonment.
00:54
Anyone with information about the shooting incident is asked to contact the crime team by calling 101
00:59
or by emailing drct at derbyshire.police.uk
01:06
A new petition is calling on Derbyshire County Council to preserve the Love Locks
01:10
set to be removed from a bridge in the Peak District next month.
01:13
Bakewell's famous Love Locks footbridge is set to undergo major maintenance and repair programme
01:18
from Monday, September 16th and those who have left locks on the bridge are being asked to collect them before this date.
01:24
Around 5,500 padlocks have been attached to the bridge since 2011
01:29
and Derbyshire County Council says repairs can only be carried out once the locks have been removed.
01:34
Kathy Clappinson, who organised the petition, said she hoped the Council would save the locks
01:39
rather than recycling those that are not removed from the bridge before the cut-off date.
01:42
She added that the Love Locks could be used to create a new piece of artwork that could be displayed in the town
01:47
allowing the memories associated with each lock to continue.
01:51
Councillor Charlotte Cupid, who is the County Council's Cabinet Member for Highways, Assets and Transport
01:56
said the authority aimed to be sensitive and responsible when carrying out the repairs
02:01
the first time that major work has been undertaken on the bridge since it was installed in the late 1990s.
02:07
She said,
02:08
We understand the significance this bridge has developed for many people as a place to attach a lock
02:13
to remember loved ones or to celebrate special anniversaries.
02:16
However, as we have noted over the last few years, the bridge requires repairs
02:21
which include untaking significant areas of rust away
02:24
as well as repairing the pedestrian walkway which is worn through in a number of places.
02:28
She said,
02:29
We can only do these repair works by removing all the padlocks attached to the bridge.
