If you like to buy fresh food and drink direct from the producers, you'll want to hot-foot it to Matlock on Wednesday 24 May.
 We're holding our first producers’ market at County Hall on Wednesday 24 May from 10am to 2pm, which will coincide with the town’s regular Wednesday market down the hill at Hall Leys Park.
If you're in search of fresh produce and handmade goods come to Matlock and visit both markets and fill your basket full of the best produce the county has to offer as well as meeting the producers themselves.
There’s also still time for farmers, producers and artisans to register for a free stall at the event at County Hall, and anyone who is interested should email cllr.administration@derbyshire.gov.uk by Monday 15 May.
The County Hall event is being held on the same day as our annual general meeting, so County Hall will be extremely busy and full of potential customers for producers to sell to.
Visitors to the producers’ market will be able to park for free in our main car park off Bank Road, and entry to the event is free.
Driving too fast can kill, lead to serious injury, and damage property. That's why we're trialling an initiative to reduce speed on Derbyshire's roads.
A speed indicator device has been installed in Kilburn, to advise motorists how fast they're going.
Kilburn Parish Council successfully applied for the device from the county's Police and Crime Commissioner.
There are two speed indicator devices in Derbyshire and another 31 applications from parish councils that are being considered.
Pictured beside the new sign are our Cabinet Member for Highways Assets and Transport, Cllr Kewal Singh Athwal, centre right; Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster, centre left; Kilburn Parish Council Chairman Cllr David Hall, left; our Traffic Project Engineer Bridget Gould, right; and Kilburn Parish Council Clerk Sheila Matthews.

You’re invited to have your say on proposals for a new political map for Derbyshire County Council.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is looking to redraw the electoral division map following the growth in population in some areas which means some divisions have a higher number of people living in them.
Currently we have 64 councillors representing 61 divisions – as three divisions have two councillors.
The Commission agrees the number of councillors should remain the same – at 64 – and they’re now consulting on how it could work so that each division has only one councillor representing it.
A 10-week consultation has been launched to find out what residents and organisations think about their local communities and runs until 17 July 2023.

If you're a parent you'll know how important it is to look after your child's teeth. And we have lots of support to help you do that.
‘Join the Smile Squad’ offers lots of advice and support around how to care for your children’s teeth.
Oral health affects a wide range of things including your child’s confidence, education and self-esteem.
However most oral health problems are preventable if the right tooth care routine is set up from the start.
NHS dental treatment for children is free so take your child for their first appointment as soon as their first baby tooth comes through.
