Residents are invited to help set priorities for their area at the next round of Chesterfield community assembly meetings.
Held four times a year, the meetings allow people to receive information and ask questions about projects led by the council and other partners that will affect them and their families.
In September the focus will be on health and wellbeing, community safety and crime, growth, the local economy and Chesterfield as a thriving borough. Responses will be used to create a community action plan for each area.
Locals will also hear how they can become involved in the commemorations of the Battle of Chesterfield and be invited to vote on funding of up to £200 for local projects as part of the council’s minor grants scheme.
Councillor Sharon Blank, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for governance, says: “The best way for us to develop action plans for each area is for us to have the thoughts, ideas and opinions of residents so I would encourage people to come along to their community assembly meeting in September and have their say.”
The meetings will take place across the town including:-
- Chesterfield North: Tuesday 15 September at Whittington Green School, High Street, Old Whittington
- Chesterfield East: Wednesday 16 September at Netherthorpe School, Ralph Road, Staveley
- Chesterfield South: Wednesday 23 September at the Town Hall, Rose Hill
- Chesterfield West: Thursday 24 September at Loundsley Green Community Centre, Cuttholme Road.
The meetings are held at 6.30pm and anyone attending will have their opportunity to speak to their local councillors at the end of discussions.
