Council appoints preferred bidder in the search for new Tapton Park Golf Course operator

Chesterfield Borough Council has appointed Link Golf UK as its preferred bidder in its search for a new operator to run Tapton Park Golf Course.

Since 2009 Sheffield City Trust has fulfilled the role under a lease agreement with the council, however the Trust will cease to operate later this year and the council has been seeking a new operator to take over the running of the courses and clubhouse.

Link Golf UK – formerly known as Love Golf – was selected as the preferred bidder following a marketing exercise which prioritised finding a suitably qualified operator with the financial ability to being fresh investment to the courses and clubhouse and a proven track record of increasing golf participation and delivering a range of community outreach activities.

Approval for the council to now enter into detailed negotiations was given by the council’s Cabinet on Tuesday 16 April. Subject to these proving successful, it is hoped Link Golf UK will officially take on the golf course lease from this summer.

Councillor Jonathan Davies, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “Tapton Park Golf Course is an important facility with fantastic potential in beautiful parkland.

“In seeking a new operator to look after the courses and clubhouse, we set out several long-term objectives with the intention of retaining it as a pay-and-play course that is open to all.

“Link Golf UK has proven expertise and experience of operating municipal golf courses. It has funding to invest in Tapton’s courses and clubhouse to maintain them to a high standard. It also offers a strong community outreach programme – and a commitment to work closely with the resident members’ club, which I know the members have welcomed.

“We will now begin detailed negotiations to finalise the terms of the lease. If and when Link Golf UK is formally appointed, we will work with it to announce the change-over date and address any issues that may affect customers. We anticipate that this will happen this summer.”

Tapton Park Golf Course features a full 18-hole course, 9-hole course, 6-hole pitch and putt course, a practice area, driving range, outbuildings, and a clubhouse. The course is built on parkland which was formerly part of the Tapton House estate.

In a joint statement, Andrew Terry and Joe Jackson, Directors of Link Golf UK, said: “We’re incredibly excited about the opportunity to breathe new life into Tapton Park Golf Course, including the driving range and clubhouse.

“Recognising its rich legacy we’re committed to maintaining its accessibility as a family-friendly venue. Our vision is to transform Tapton Park into a dynamic hub for family engagement, offering a range of activities that cater to all ages and skill levels. By incorporating the latest technology into the driving range and enhancing the overall experience, we aim to create a vibrant atmosphere where families can come together and enjoy quality time.

“Leveraging our proven track record in revitalising golf facilities, we’re confident in our ability to invest and innovate at Tapton Park. We look forward to working closely with Chesterfield Borough Council and the resident members club to ensure a bright and prosperous future for this beloved community asset.”

John Pearson, Chair of Tapton Park Golf Club, said: “Based on our initial discussions with Link Golf UK I am very optimistic for the future of Tapton Park Golf Club. We are really looking forward to working with Andrew and Joe to preserve and enhance the existing golf facilities for the benefit of the club’s members, local residents and visitors.”

New shared space proposed for Chesterfield community

A vision is taking shape for a new shared community space, which aims to transform the landscape of community engagement and support in Chesterfield.

Community organisations, volunteers, and local groups are coming together to champion the creation of a flexible community and co-working space in the heart of Chesterfield, with Derbyshire Voluntary Action.

The need for such a space has long been voiced by community organisations, who have identified a gap in the infrastructure needed to support, promote, and empower the local Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector.

This shared space aims to be a vibrant hub that promotes collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity, catering to a diverse range of needs and activities.

Proposed features of the shared space include:

  • Offices for partners and VCSE groups: Providing a dedicated workspace for organisations to collaborate and coordinate their efforts more effectively.
  • Workshops and consultations: Offering a platform for knowledge-sharing, skill-building, and strategic planning to drive positive change in the community, and share in the expertise that Derbyshire Voluntary Action has already established.
  • Meeting and training spaces: Equipped with facilities to host meetings, seminars, and training sessions for both professionals and volunteers.
  • Community café: A welcoming space where people can come together, socialise, and share ideas over a cup of coffee or a hearty meal.
  • Activity spaces: Catering to a variety of interests and pursuits, from art and craft workshops to fitness classes and group activities.
  • Play space for families: Providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to play, learn, and interact with others.
  • Space for arts and creativity: Focusing on health and well-being promotion through creative expression and cultural enrichment.

As plans for the shared space continue to evolve, the local community is now being encouraged to have their say on the final design of the new space. Organisers are inviting members of the community to participate in co-creation sessions, where they can share their ideas, offer feedback, and help shape the future of the shared space.

Jennifer Raschbauer, Project Director Derbyshire Voluntary Action commented: “By bringing together diverse stakeholders—charities, volunteers, community groups, and local residents—this initiative embodies the spirit of collaboration and collective action. It is a testament to the power of community-led initiatives in driving social progress and fostering a sense of belonging and connection.”

Daniel Jones, Marketing and Communications Officer Derbyshire Voluntary Action added: “This is your opportunity to be a part of building something exciting and new, set to make a real difference in Chesterfield.”

To allow people to have their say on the new community space, an event is taking place at St. Helena Centre in Chesterfield on Tuesday, 23rd April (10am-1pm). Book your place at the event here.

Stanedge Golf Club features in popular YouTube TV series

A golf club set in the North Derbyshire countryside, just outside of Chesterfield has been featured in a popular YouTube TV series.

The docuseries Changing the Business of Golf is produced by Syngenta, and follows Stanedge owner and former professional golfer, Fame Tate.

In February 2022, golf in the UK was booming and Fame had brought Stanedge Golf Club back from the brink of extinction, transforming it into a thriving business at the heart of the community.

The first-time business owner has continued to ring the changes inside and out since then, but the unforeseen challenge of a sudden serious illness left the future of Stanedge hanging in the balance.

“Reflection is a wonderful thing and I’ve drawn a lot of positives from being forced to step away from the business,” says Fame in the new episode.

“It made me look at how I operate, the functionality of the business and my own time-management. Being here seven days a week, 365 days a year is just not possible.”

The episode also features key team members who stepped up in testing times, explaining how they coped with the overnight loss of their leader.

In the two years since Changing the Business of Golf was last at Stanedge, golf has continued to thrive in the UK, but clubs and courses have had to adapt to new customers, different expectations and fresh financial pressures.

Fame explains how Stanedge has continued to grow and push forward towards its targets, employing tactics to future-proof its long-term sustainability.

“Our core values have remained the same but obviously the business has changed and developed. I’ve had to change, everyone’s had to change and be on that journey,” she says.

The latest episode can be viewed below, and you can catch all previous episodes following Fame’s remarkable journey to transform the customer experience and make her club a friendly and inclusive community venue.

Construction begins on new electric forecourt at Markham Vale

Construction has officially started on a new electric forecourt at Markham Vale.

Gridserve has begun construction on the project, which will serve visitors, local businesses and communities around Markham Vale and the wider Derbyshire area.

Located on Enterprise Way and conveniently placed for passing motorway traffic, the new Electric Forecourt is scheduled to open this winter. It’s a significant milestone for the area and clean energy.

Once completed, Markham Vale Electric Forecourt will enable 30 electric vehicles to be charged simultaneously, with High Power chargers that can deliver up to 360kW, capable of adding 100 miles of range in less than 5 minutes. Multiple charging connectors will cater for all types of electric vehicles with contactless payment accepted, making it easier than ever to charge.

The site will be powered by net zero carbon energy as Gridserve continues to make vital changes to the UK EV infrastructure to support the decarbonisation of transport and move the needle on climate change.

While charging, visitors can enjoy a coffee in the comfortable waiting lounge with free superfast WiFi, plus convenience retail, a children’s play area and a dedicated EV educational space to increase understanding and awareness around electric vehicles. The Electric Forecourt will include disabled parking, access ramps, accessible washrooms and lifts to all areas, making easy charging accessible to all.

Gridserve Markham Vale

Rebecca Trebble, Chief Customer Experience Officer, said: “We are happy to keep the momentum going with our award-winning Electric Forecourts following the success opening of London Gatwick Electric Forecourt. We have found with our Electric Forecourt sites that they serve as an excellent hub for the local community and can help with the uptake of electric vehicles. Electric Forecourts offer the best charging and retail experience available and we can’t wait to welcome new and returning customers to the Markham Vale Electric Forecourt.”

Councillor Tony King, Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Clean Growth and Regeneration, said: “Gridserve’s new Electric Forecourt will be a great addition to Markham Vale right next to the M1 motorway. It will help to give motorists the confidence to make the switch to an electric vehicle and move us closer to our target of getting hundreds more public facing electric vehicle charge points in place throughout the county.

“Decarbonising transport is one of our top priorities as part of our climate change strategy which aims to reduce emissions generated by the county council to net zero by 2032 or sooner and help the rest of Derbyshire reduce carbon emissions generated within the county to net zero by 2050 or sooner.”

David Wells, Director at HBD, said: “We’re pleased to be able to welcome Gridserve to Markham Vale as work starts on site. The project will enhance the scheme’s amenity offer, while also strengthening Derbyshire’s sustainability ambitions.
