[423 Matlock homes plan to be debated at special Council Planning Committee]

A special Planning Committee meeting has been called by Derbyshire Dales District Council to debate an application for a total of 423 homes on land between Sandy Lane, Bent Lane and Gritstone Road in Matlock.
The meeting will be held at **5pm** on Thursday 28 March in the Members' Room at County Hall in the town. The selection of a larger venue than the District Council's own Council Chamber is designed to accommodate significant public interest in the application - and the earlier than usual start will give sufficient time for representations and debate.

Our award-winning Hall Leys Park is to get a £730,000 facelift - thanks mainly to central government funding - and there's an upcoming cash boost too for Wirksworth's Meadows Renewal Project.
A grant of £450,737 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) means the Green Flag town centre park will get a new skatepark, new splashpads, refurbished pathways and a new link to the White Peak Loop trail.

Derbyshire Dales is a safe place to live and has the lowest crime rate in all nine Districts within Derbyshire. The District Council and the Community Safety Partnership work hard to keep it that way.
We’re seeking your views on crime and disorder to help the partnership focus on the crime and anti-social behaviour that most affects our communities. We’ll use this information to target issues and direct resources to where they are most needed. You can fill in the survey [**online**]**.**
