 In this week's episode, the contracts have been signed on the new £9+million Roseland Park & Crematorium in Shirebrook, Crags Radio have received almost £10,000 from the National Lottery, Hodthorpe and Belph have enjoyed their annual Scarecrow Festival, players of Bolsover District Community Lottery could win a £1,500 voucher for IKEA, residents are encouraged to sign up for the district council’s e-newsletters, and Creswell Crags gets ready to celebrate its Ice Age history.
Community groups and organisations across Bolsover District could benefit from a new grant scheme approved by us.
Each of our 37 councillors will receive £1,000 to support local groups, services and activities within their ward. It will be at the councillor’s discretion as to who they award the money to, and it can be split into smaller grants or provided as one large grant to an organisation in their area.
During 2022/2023, a one-off budget for £37,000 was agreed and after monitoring the grants that were awarded and the impact it has had upon local communities, we agreed to provide this funding on an annual basis.
In 2022/23, councillors awarded 111 separate grants that supported groups and their activities such as providing equipment, covering transport costs, community events, youth activities and warm spaces/meals.

There are two things you can guarantee people in the UK will moan about and that is the weather and their bins!
But here in Bolsover District, that is not really true. Yes, we moan about the weather, but the latest satisfaction figures from a recent Citizens Panel survey showed that 92% of those surveyed are actually satisfied with our bin collection service.
In fact, the latest LGA UK resident satisfaction survey for waste collection was 81%, some 11% lower than Bolsover District’s.
