South Yorks Police
Call 999 for crimes in progress and other emergencies. For non-emergencies, they say to call 101 but that does not work ('Should I call 101'). Perhaps the best way to contact the Police (in non-urgent matters) is to email them with clear details, pictures, etc. and it gives you time to collect your thoughts together and explain things without wasting anybody's time. Consider these elements: who, what, why, when and where.

British Transport Police
Penistone Railway Station is a magnet for anti-social youth crime and vandalism which wearies the more responsible traveller and costs money to police or repair. The station is covered by CCTV.
Call 999 for or if:

Call 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016 for non-emergency enquiries.
See British Transport Police.

Penistone Crime Watch
A Facebook group set up by Mick Boaler, reporting on local crime. Crime Watch Penistone. On the same topic, David Wood is asking people to do a 'Crime and Policing Survey.' An error in Section 17 allows only one choice instead of three.

Help for People

Report Fly Tipping
At BMBC or call 101. If possible, get details, number plates, times, locations, etc.

Check Barnsley Borough Waste Disruptions and Road Gritting (save these links).

Report a Pothole
For drivers in the Barnsley Borough, if you encounter a hole in the road, there's a form to fill in:
Pothole Form (Pdf on the BMBC website) or try this one: Report a Pothole.

Pothole Claims for Damage
Given the deteriorating state of local roads, drivers whose vehicles have been damaged because of potholes can claim from BMBC insurers. See also Moneysupermarket.

Report Companies You Can't Reach
Martin Lewis (Moneysaving Expert) is asking people to report those companies and organisations that you can never get through to on the phone, such as banks and utilities, presumably to gain enough evidence to build a campaign. Report Them. These days, everything is for 'their' convenience, never ours.

Upon Bereavement

You still need to look into: banks, Insurance, supply companies (Gas, Electric, etc.), personal pensions, property owners (rents), mortgage suppliers, probate, etc. More details on the links above.
