A plan to honour two Blackwell Colliery football heroes and commemorate seven miners who were killed in the local colliery by an underground explosion in 1895 is gathering pace.

Football historian, mark Metcalf has joined forces with the local council and community representatives, and he recently met with local school children to explain what was happening and how they could get involved.

The group want to get as much information as possible and want the local community to be involved. So, they are staging a public meeting at Blackwell Community Centre from 12pm to 3pm on Sunday 25 February to see if there are any descendants of the seven men who died in the colliery who would be willing to come forward and speak about them. 

A partnership has been created to target underage drinking and anti-social behaviour in Bolsover District and they want your views.

Community Alcohol Partnerships (CAPs) are made up of partnerships between local authorities, police, schools, retailers, neighbourhood groups and health providers, working together to tackle alcohol-related harm to young people and improve the quality of life for residents.
