A £100 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) has been paid for a littering offence in Bolsover.

During a routine patrol of the District, one of our Enforcement Officers witnessed a person throw their chewing gum on the floor at Morrisons car park in Bolsover. 

Littering FPNs are currently set at £150 paid within 14-days, or at a lower rate of £100 if paid within 10-days.

You can report incidences of littering via our self-service portal.

As autumn is here, what better way to enjoy the spectacle of golden colours on display than with a walk. 

And Hardwick Hall and Park is the perfect place as they have launched their Walk with Us volunteer-led, social, group walks. 

You can choose from family-friendly adventures, wider estate walks or discovering more of Hardwick’s history with friends and family. Bolsover TV went to Hardwick to speak to one of the guides to see what people can expect.

Council and Unison leaders joined together recently as they launched their Learning Charter.

We have committed to the Charter which is an agreement between both the authorities and Dragonfly Development staff, and Unison to support employee development.

The agreement has a number of commitments including:

• Fully supporting the role of the Unison Learning Rep and work with Trade Unions to help recruit and support them.
• Providing paid time-off to attend training during normal working hours.
• A close partnership with the Trade Unions to support the learning and development of the workforce.
