The new civic leader for Erewash enjoyed two hours of “fantastic” conversations as he staged the first in a series of meet-the-Mayor sessions at a popular pub – where he apologised for being duff at darts. Cllr Greg Maskalick said of his mission to meet local people: “It was much appreciated by the public. I would like to thank the management and staff at The General Havelock in Ilkeston for taking excellent care of me – but most of all […]
A touching memorial to local people who have taken their own lives has been unveiled in an Erewash park – in the form of a bench that grieving families and friends hope will help deter others from suicide. The tranquil wooden seat is designed for quiet reflection and bears the inscription: “Someone is always listening.” Erewash’s Deputy Mayor Cllr Linda Burns helped to unveil it at a ceremony in a quiet corner of Ilkeston’s Victoria Park as she was joined […]

Erewash Borough Council-led initiative ‘All Move in Erewash’ (AMiE) has helped residents with long-term health conditions become more active, a report has shown. AMiE has already helped people like Stephen who suffered a spine injury but started taking part in a gentle walk at Rutland Sports Park in Ilkeston after it was recommended by a social prescriber. Social prescribers connect people to local activities, groups, and services in their community to support their health and wellbeing. He was sceptical it […]
The future of three Erewash charity shop branches is under threat after the parent company announced plans to close 150 sites. The British Heart Foundation has a total of 640 shops across the UK, but has recently reported having faced challenges due to increasing running costs and a change in the habits of customers. Its reported closure plans will be phased in over the next two financial years, with those affected considered to be "no longer financially sutainable", with those […]
An iconic company that has been celebrated for 80 years as the Rolls-Royce of bicycle makers is to debut its first ELECTRIC powered two-wheeler – thanks to help from Erewash Borough Council. Mercian Cycles – which produces hand-crafted custom-built bikes - successfully applied for a £20,000 research and development grant from the authority to add battery assistance to one of its top models. The high-tech electric version of the local company’s Ventura Allroad will be launched shortly – barely two […]
Plans to build at least 400 homes next to the A52 in Derby remain a realistic possibility, despite “strong opposition” from the public over traffic concerns. Last year, very early plans were announced for a huge development off Stoney Lane, in Spondon – right next to the busy Brian Clough Way, connecting Derby and Nottingham. The land in question was previously classified as green belt – meaning it was strictly protected from development. However, recent analysis has shown the site […]
A new programme designed to improve how children, young people and families are supported is being introduced across Derbyshire through the Families First Partnership (FFP), led by Derbyshire County Council. The FFP programme will help families get the support they need earlier, making it easier to understand what help is available and where to go. It will bring services together so families do not have to repeat their story to different professionals. It is aimed at families who may be […]
