Carver Fields under threat?

It’s our understanding that a decision has been taken to sell the Carver fields on Hagg Lane.

These fields have provided a healthy recreational facility for everyone for many years. If this proves to be the case, and the fields become a building site, this would be a significant loss to the community and to our heritage.

We’ll let you know if we hear more on this.

273, 274 and 275 Crosspool to Derbyshire bus services under threat

Bus services from Crosspool to Castleton and Bakewell could be drastically reduced from October 2017.

Derbyshire County Council is considering several options in order to save money, with one of them being to withdraw all county council funding for subsidised buses from October 2017. This means that unless they can be run commercially they will stop.

The Derbyshire County Council-supported services that run through Crosspool are:

The public are being asked to comment on the proposals as part of a consultation, which ends on 24 April 2016.
