We have launched our 'Vision Bolsover District Part Two' booklet that aims to inform our local communities what we have been, and are doing, on their behalf.

The booklet is being delivered to every household across the district (week commencing 25 March 2024) and is narrated by the Council Leader, Steve Fritchley.

It includes details on what we have been doing over the past four-years as well as some high level ambitions that Steve feels would benefit the district and its communities.

We are investing £655k to provide renewable electricity and heat to our council offices and leisure facility in Clowne.

We bid for and successfully received £455k from the Government's swimming pool support fund to assist with improving energy efficiency of public leisure facilities.

As the leisure facility is in the same building as our main headquarters we are also investing £200k to expand the system to cover the offices.

The money will be used to install a combined heat and power (CHP) unit at the Arc office and leisure centre complex. CHPs generate electricity from an energy source, with a by-product of the generation being heat, which is captured and used to replace the existing heat production from the traditional boilers.

There are two elections taking place on Thursday 2 May.

You will need to bring photo ID to the polling station to vote. If you wish to vote by post you need to apply by 5pm, 11 working days before the election. If you wish to appoint a proxy you must do so by 5pm, 6 working days before the election.
