We are continuing to invest in our businesses and communities as we are making £427,884 available as part of a Rural Fund Grant Scheme.

The Rural Fund will provide capital funding specifically aimed at supporting new and existing rural businesses to develop their products, services and facilities to help improve productivity and strengthen the rural economy and rural communities.

It is aimed at supporting activities that specifically address the particular challenges rural areas face and will provide capital funding to:

• Support rural businesses to develop new products and facilities that will be of wider benefit to the local economy. This includes farm businesses looking to diversify income streams.
• Support improved community infrastructure, providing essential community services and assets for local people and businesses to benefit the local economy

A brand new restaurant has recently opened in Clowne, offering locals and visitors a fresh take on fast food..

Located on Mill Street in the town, Bennies Kitchen offers everything from tasty burgers to delicious wings and salads to sweets of the day.

Using local produce from local farmers, the chefs prepare where possible, the freshest, unique version of their favourite foods even down to their delicious sauces.

The results are in for the district election held on Thursday 4 May.

All the results plus turnout information is available on our website.
