Library service - have your say
You can now have your say on a number of proposals which if agreed will change the way we run parts of our library service. The library service proposals are set out in our new draft Derbyshire Public Library Service Strategy 'A Modern Library Service for Derbyshire' which we unveiled last month. The aim of the proposals is to keep library buildings open as well as creating a modern, agile, family-friendly and sustainable service across the county. The proposed changes would also support necessary budget savings and reflect changing patterns of library use while ensuring the service remains as accessible, efficient and cost-effective as possible.
Town centre regeneration work underway
The first phase of town centre regeneration work is progressing well in the upper section of Market Place. Stalls have been cleared from this area and work to lift the existing cobbles and yorkstone paving - ready for cleaning, levelling and re-laying - is well underway. All town centre businesses and market stalls are open as usual, with some market traders temporarily moved to other parts of the town centre. This is the first phase of the Revitalising the Heart of Chesterfield regeneration scheme being delivered in partnership with Thomas Bow - designed to improve the look, feel and flow of key public spaces across the town centre, and revitalise the town's historic market.
