Strict new deadlines are in place after a 12-year failure of Derbyshire NHS services saw hundreds of families not notified about potential blood disorders. Last spring, the Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed the Derbyshire NHS failed to tell more than 800 Derbyshire families about the sickle cell carrier status of their babies for 12 years – January 2012 to June 2024. Sickle cell carrier status means babies with this condition do not have the blood disorder themselves but have the ability […]

Derby City Council has raised concerns over a controversial plan by Keepmoat Homes to build a new development off Acorn Way towards Spondon. Acorn Way is a busy traffic route linking the Oakwood and Chaddesden area with Spondon. Most of the road has a 60mph speed limit, but it is reduced […]

Thousands of households across Derby have been provided with new food waste bins as part of the scheme, which is part of a UK-wide initiative. But since the […]
More than 1,800 Derbyshire children over the next five years will have to attend schools outside their catchment after central Government pulled the plug on a long-planned new secondary. A falling birth rate was the reason put forward for the Labour Government’s reason to scrap the planned £27 million 1,230-space secondary school on the Infinity Garden Village, bordering Chellaston. Its decision, issued at the end of March, came despite fervent lobbying from politicians of all political persuasions, including South Derbyshire’s […]
