Chesterfield Borough Council
Chesterfield Borough Council works, in partnership with Destination Chesterfield, to showcase the borough as a thriving place to live, work, visit and invest.
The council delivers over 50 services to the borough’s residents, tenants, businesses and visitors. These are guided by the priorities set out in its Council Plan 2023 – 2027:
- Making Chesterfield a thriving borough
- Improving quality of life for local people
- Building a resilient council
Through the council’s Growth Strategy, it aims to create new jobs and encourage businesses to grow. This includes support for innovation, property searches, skills support, and growth in the visitor economy.
The council also leads the way on nationally significant regeneration schemes, representing billions of pounds worth of investment in the area and championing the borough as a place for businesses to invest, grow and thrive.
Cllr Tricia Gilby, Leader of the council, said: “We are incredibly proud of our borough and how – together with key partners and our business community – we have put Chesterfield on the map as a place to invest and seek new opportunity.
“We have a clear growth plan, that builds on our borough’s history whilst also looking to the future and new opportunities that will arise.
“We put our communities at the heart of everything we do, and together we’re working hard to create a thriving and sustainable borough which offers opportunities for generations to come.
We’re proud that Chesterfield has been chosen as the home of the East Midlands Mayor. We’re committed to ensuring that our communities benefit from the opportunities created under devolution, and regional investment.
“We’re working with other local councils to build on our existing partnerships, and look forward to building even stronger relationships with our regional leaders and networks to ensure we have a strong voice and influence in the East Midlands Combined County Authority.”
