£15million regeneration fund

We are updating residents regarding the £15million Regeneration Funding awarded in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement.
On 16 January 2024, the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities informed the Council ‘the award has been made to place, rather than for a specific project, it can be spent on a single project or multiple projects in any locality that falls within the Council’s jurisdiction’.
The criteria for the funding is very clear. All schemes must be deliverable on time, provide value for money and have stakeholder’s support. In addition, all business plans must include a specified ‘end user,’ responsible for the running of premises and all future revenue costs.
As a starting point, all projects from the original Levelling Up Fund 2 bid for Bolsover Town Centre, were reconsidered. All projects which remain viable and deliverable by March 2026 (as stipulated within the guidance), have been included. These include improvements to public realm and shop fronts, along with a new community business centre and creative retail outlet. These schemes total in excess of £6m, dedicated solely to Bolsover Town Centre.
During the review of proposals, it was clear that some of the original projects for Bolsover Town Centre, could not be delivered by the cut-off date of March 2026. Unfortunately, delivery of the cultural hub, could not be included as it is a 4-year project and an end-user (with all management responsibilities), has not been identified. Other buildings within the original proposal are now either sold or occupied. However, where possible, alternative proposals for the town have been put forward.
In addition, the Council is currently working with the Arts Council on some proposals for alternative schemes totalling £5million for the Town Centre.
Therefore, in accordance with the criteria, the Council undertook a review of remaining deliverable projects across the District. Working with the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities, proposals have been submitted which include a wider public realm and shop front improvements scheme across the District alongside specific projects in Pinxton, Blackwell and Shirebrook.

Dedication to former Councillor Pat Cooper
Pat Cooper dedication plaque
The Oxcroft Centre in Stanfree has been a popular venue for many a year, but in its recent past its popularity dwindled.
That was until former councillor, Pat Cooper turned it into a thriving community centre before she sadly passed away.
So, after deciding to refurbish the upstairs room, the Oxcroft Centre Management Committee wanted to commemorate the work Pat did and recently unveiled a plaque in her memory.

Whitwell Brass band rehearsal
Formed in 1867, Whitwell Brass is one of the oldest brass bands in the country.
Closely associated with the district’s mining past, the band is very active in both local community events and national competitions, and it is the latter that the band recently had something to shout about.
