Community Speedwatch
In response to concerns about vehicles speeding on roads through our villages, the parish council is working with Derbyshire Constabulary to set up a Community Speedwatch group. Click here to find out more about Community Speedwatch.
We are looking for Speedwatch volunteers who are willing to undertake the training and work with us in taking positive action to reduce speed in the community. Click here for more information. If you are interested please contact the Parish Council or a Parish Councillor.
RNIB Christmas Stamp Appeal
Please help the RNIB Christmas Stamp Appeal. By collecting used stamps you can help raise much-needed funds to help people living with sight loss. There are currently over 2 million people living with sight loss in the UK, including around 4,540 people here in Amber Valley. Your support can help RNIB create a world where sight loss is no longer a barrier. Click here for more information or download the poster.
Wildflower Area – Lea Recreation Ground
A wildflower area is planned for Lea Recreation Ground (near the upper picnic table). This will require an area of grass to be left unmown so it can thrive, look attractive and attract pollinators and other insects and wildlife. Look out for it in 2020/2021!
Neighbourhood Plan
The Dethick, Lea and Holloway Neighbourhood Plan has been submitted to Amber Valley Borough Council and is now available on their website, together with the accompanying documents. Click here to access the documents. For more information click here to visit the Village Website.
Play Area – Lea Recreation Ground
The play area at Lea Recreation Ground is inspected and where possible, maintained by parish councillors and other volunteers. Please help us by keeping the area tidy and looking after the play equipment . Please report any problems to the Parish Council.
Time Swap – Swap time not money!
Time Swap is an initiative that encourages local communities to help each other by sharing time and talents. As a Time Swap member you can earn ‘time’ by doing things in your community that you enjoy, or are good at, to help other people. You can then spend that time on getting help from other people with something that you find difficult or someone in your community could teach you a new skill. Click here for more information
