Bolsover District Council invites suitably qualified and experienced contractors to attend a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Event for the Bolsover Town Centre Shopfront Improvement Scheme. 

The proposed scheme involves the repair, restoration, replacement and enhancement of shopfronts within Bolsover Town Centre, which is a designated Conservation Area. The works will include interventions to a number of Grade II Listed Buildings and will form part of the wider Bolsover Regeneration Programme, funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). 

Profits generated through Bolsover Reuse Shop are now being invested into local communities through a new grant programme. 

Derbyshire Reuse Grants is a new partnership between Derbyshire Voluntary Action and HW Martin, which manages the county’s Household Waste Recycling Centres on behalf of Derbyshire County Council. 

Its dedicated reuse shops give items another life, rather than allowing them to go to waste. 

It is common for people to use bonfires to dispose of different types of waste. But did you know that burning certain things can be harmful?

Bonfire smoke contains fine particles and gases that can reduce local air quality, irritate eyes, nose and throat, trigger asthma and other respiratory illnesses and affect vulnerable people, including children, older people and those with heart and lung conditions.

Even small garden bonfires can create significant smoke problems, particularly during calm weather conditions.
