Council mergers in Derbyshire on-hold - Erewash Borough Council's leader explains Erewash Sound
A man has been jailed after he attacked a man with a zombie knife in broad daylight in an Ilkeston street. Luke Hurdowar pulled up in a car alongside the victim, who was known to him, in Cotmanhay Road just after noon on 26 June this year. The pair began arguing and after the victim threw punches at Hurdowar, he stepped back and pulled a 30cm zombie knife from the waistband of his trousers and lunged at the victim. He […]
New plans to demolish a derelict Derbyshire pub have been filed more than a year after the owner was ordered to secure the problem site or bulldoze it. The former Bridge Inn pub in Bridge Street, Cotmanhay, which sits alongside the canal and close to Bennerley Viaduct, has been an eyesore and anti-social behaviour hotspot for years instead of a tranquil watering hole. Last March, Erewash Borough Council ordered the owner, Bridge Inn Cotmanhay Developments Ltd, to secure the site […]
Families in Cotmanhay will soon begin to see changes at their local Children's Centre as they prepare to become the first Best Start Family Hubs in Derbyshire, with further hubs opening across the county in the future, as part of Derbyshire County Council's Best Start in Life (BSiL) programme. Over the coming months, along with a site in Birdholme, Cotmanhay Children's Centre will begin their transition to become Best Start Family Hubs, with work taking place to bring the new […]
A new play mecca for children has been officially opened by Erewash’s Deputy Mayor – after the borough council ploughed £160,000 into creating the jungle-themed fun zone. Thrilled Cllr Linda Burns performed the honours by cutting a ribbon at Wash Meadows – an open space that the people of Ilkeston affectionately refer to as “Johnny’s” park. The name, according to local historians, comes from a scrapyard that stood nearby half a century ago. The adventure zone next to the town’s […]

A mad-cap three-wheel charity stunt by Erewash’s Mayor has given a second boost to the thriving local Scouts movement – hot on the heels of a council grant making a “massive difference” for hundreds of the organisation’s big-hearted and adventurous youngsters. Jubilant civic head Cllr Harry Atkinson last month raised money for the 1st Sawley Scouts by completing a 2,000-mile grand tour of the borough’s three twin towns in a pal’s Reliant Robin. He was sponsored to the tune of […]
