Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of a 65-year-old man from Gawsworth who hasn’t been seen or heard from for six days.

John Dyer was last seen by his family on the evening of Tuesday 19 February. He is described as white, of slim build with short, curly grey hair. He was last seen wearing dark blue jeans and a blue jumper.
