Derbyshire County Council has welcomed the funding which will be spent on reinvigorating and enhancing its libraries in Alfreton, Ilkeston and Long Eaton. The county council’s libraries service successfully bid for the money from Arts Council England’s “Libraries Improvement Fund”, which comes under the government’s Arts Everywhere Fund, as part of a competitive process. The announcement was made by the Department for […]
After an eight-day action-packed Easter visit to Belgium, the 2nd Ilkeston (United Reformed) Scouts returned home with full notebooks, and stories they’ll be telling for years. The trip blended outdoor challenge, cultural exploration, and international friendship, giving the group a chance to grow in confidence, independence, and teamwork. The Scouts spent much of their time exploring Belgium’s Wallonian forest and making friends with local Scout groups. Their day trips to the cities of Brussels and Antwerp as well as a […]
By Eddie Bisknell - Local Democracy Reporting Service Residents are preparing a court challenge after late-night music at a Derbyshire pub was approved , despite a firm ban from the owner on “horrific, caterwauling” karaoke.

By Eddie Bisknell - Local Democracy Reporting Service There is a pavement in Derbyshire which I challenge anyone to walk along without fearing for their lives or taking a wing mirror to the head. The 400-metre stretch of Ilkeston Road from the Sowbrook Lane junction, between Ilkeston and Stanton by Dale, does have an accompanying pavement for pedestrians on its eastern side, but walking this route you would struggle to see it carry out its intended function. More often, this […]

Leo Webberley, 19, of Heanor, has been living with Derventio Housing Trust since just before Christmas last year. The trust provides supported housing to hundreds of people across the UK who might otherwise be homeless. Housing officers at the trust found shy Leo barely able to communicate just months ago. Now they say he has been transformed into […]

The door supervisors at The Borough Arms in Ilkeston flagged down officers to tell them there had been a fight at the venue in the early hours of Sunday 20th July last year. Violence had erupted when Zac Creighton reportedly threw down a lighter onto the floor after borrowing it from another man. He then knocked one […]
By Eddie Bisknell - Local Democracy Reporting Service The mother and girlfriend of a man murdered outside a Derbyshire pub have shared their disappointment at the venue being allowed to serve alcohol to 2am once again. Loraine Wilson and Lauren Colton spoke out after officials on Erewash Borough Council allowed the Market Inn pub and Shakers Bar in Ilkeston Market Place to return to 2am alcohol sales despite pleas for current restrictions to remain in place. Last summer, the council, […]
Ruth Ann used to dread that little party invite in her daughter Aira's bag. She has multiple severe food allergies, and, every invite meant she couldn't just send her along like other children. She would be making a separate birthday cake, preparing all her own food, and packing EpiPens, antihistamines and wipes just to get through a couple of hours. Whilst the other children were dancing around with food in their hands, Ruth Ann would be running around like a […]
