We're holding a meeting next week regards to 'City Safety Planning Resilience' at XYZ to be confirmed (University/College)"
"A long overdue area, our city has neglected in the last decade" - Today we put pressure on the city council, Derbyshire constabulary and educational institutions to step up with us and conquer terrorism, mental health & general daily issues, now & forever, on all safety issues, ensuring all can get involved, now, not tomorrow, tomorrow is too far away.

What has been reported
A black Suzuki Swift was driven into pedestrians in Friar Gate at about 9:30pm on Saturday 28 March 2026. Seven people suffered a range of serious but not life-threatening injuries. No one died in the incident. A man in his 30s was arrested shortly afterwards on suspicion of attempted murder and other offences. He remains in police custody. Friar Gate remains closed with a police cordon in place from the junction with Curzon Street/Cheapside up to Ford Street. Police say they are keeping an open mind on motives, there is no ongoing risk to the public, and the investigation is in its early stages. (Latest update: 29 March 2026, midday)

No one could of predicted what happened last night on Friar Gate in Derby. People may believe we can design our city better, but the incident could of happened in many different ways, even without a vehicle, etc. Therefore it's important to remain mindful in how to treat the incident.
'This leads on to everyone playing a role', to prevent this from occurring in the future. It's not just about city design, it's about understanding members in our community, including those who migrate to our city.
We don't just have an obligation to make our city safer as a 'community member', we have an obligation to make Derby feel like a place no one wants to destroy or vent in, a place that you can respect. -- Even though people might believe Derby nightlife is outdated and not functional, we can turn that challenge into a solution engineering taskforce; turn this city around, put the ideas of the people into it.
