Environment & Development Services Committee - 7th March
Last week, at Environment & Development Services Committee there were 2 main items. The first being a report on Swadlincote Town Centre following the award of a grant from "Our Town First".
This will concentrate on ideas to further improve the town centre in Swadlincote and attract more businesses. It also noted the idea to brand Swadlincote as the market Town of the National Forest. One of the themes was to provide an app for improving the availability of car parking spaces. The question was also asked about promoting Swadlincote through local public transport companies.
The second report was to note the updated Environmental Health Enforcement Policy which was duly approved.
Surgery Feedback & General News
Items raised at our surgery included the state of the wall on Castle Road, a pathway issue to the Recreation Ground on Station Street, some damaged railings on Spring Street and some parking issues.
All of the above have been forwarded and we are awaiting a response where necessary.
We would also like to remind people that we can discuss things in confidence as people have done at our surgeries.
Aside from our councillor based work we heard today that our local vicar David Perrett was taken ill today, though is making good progress. We wish David a quick recovery and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time.

The following exhibition will be on the Delph in Swadlincote from 18th March to 7th April. It looks well worth a visit and it is free.
