Households and businesses across Bolsover District impacted by the flooding will benefit from funding to help them recover from the impact of Storm Babet.

Under the measures announced on Wednesday 25 October help includes flooded households in affected areas can apply for up to £500 to give cash quickly to help with immediate costs and households and businesses significantly affected by recent flooding will be eligible for 100% council tax and business rates relief for at least three months.

We have commissioned leading place branding and marketing specialist, thinkingplace to work with us to develop a long term, shared narrative for Bolsover District.

This forms part of our ambitions to regenerate and promote Bolsover District and by having a place narrative it means we can market the area more and have a better chance of receiving funding.

We want to hear what makes you proud about Bolsover District, how you feel about the area and how you might like it to develop in the future.

We work in partnership with the charity Pathways to help provide support and advice to those who may become homeless.

As part of their work they are helping flood victims but are in need of any donations to help those who have been affected by the recent floods. Donations required include adult clothing and food.

There are a number of events taking place at Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall this half-term including family walks and Ghost Tales tours and an adults Halloween event at Creswell Events Centre.
