Dronfield Town Council News Civic Centre: £1/2million regeneration plan agreed DRONFIELD Town Council agreed to support proposals put forward by the Project Steering group (DTC and NE Derbyshire District Council) to renew the public realm aspects of the Civic Centre area. The final design includes a new town square, event spaces, improved pedestrian links, crossings, new street furniture including benches and bins. Enhanced landscaping will see resurfaced Tarmac areas, re-lined parking bays, new trees and planters. Coun Alex Dale, a member of the steering group, commented: “We are delighted to take advantage of this unique opportunity offered by the Government’s levelling up fund to transform our Coun Alex Dale Civic Centre. The project will provide a high quality public space for Dronfield residents to enjoy and also encourage and support business investment and help deliver long-term economic growth.” The project is funded by the public realm element of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is the first phase in a potential three-phase redevelopment, which may include the retail units that are privately owned if plans come forward from the owner. The programme deadline for completion of this initial phase is 31st March, 2025, and follows a comprehensive consultation in May/June 2021. Supporting our runners THE April Town Council meeting saw councillors agree to grant permission to Dronfield Town FC to use Cliffe Park as part of the route for their Dronfield Town 10k and Fun Run, which will be held on 6th May. The Town Council also granted permission to Dronfield Running Club to use Hilltop Park for the Big Dipper Half Marathon, which will be held on 15th September - entries open soon! Councillors offered Dronfield Running Club the use of Dronfield Woodhouse Recreation Ground for a Junior Parkrun. In addition to the events above, the Town Council also supports the Dronfield 10k and Fun Run, centred around Sindelfingen Park each year. The 2024 race will be run on 28th April, attended by the Town Mayor. Yellow lines and resurfacing DRONFIELD Town Council received reports from Derbyshire County Council of new traffic regulation orders to come into force in and around Dronfield. No waiting restrictions or double yellow lines are to be installed on parts of the following roads: Main Road at Holmesfield, Cowley Lane, Sheffield Road (junction Snape Hill Lane), Burns Drive, Shakespeare Crescent, various parts of Callywhite Lane, Hallowes Drive, Highgate Drive, Hallowes Rise, Longcroft Road, Smithycroft. School zig-zag markings are also to be installed at Smithycroft. Coun Marie Ireland, Chair of Road Safety, commented: “We welcome the addition of these parking restrictions. Many of these are near junctions and are being installed to improve road and pedestrian safety. Others such as Burns Drive will also help keep the road passable for emergency vehicles and refuse collection.” Notice was also received to resurface 850m of Chesterfield Road between Dronfield and Unstone. These works are part of major improvements to Derbyshire roads and pavements through the County Council’s capital investment programme. Contractors will put up yellow signs giving times and dates of the road closure. The work will mainly be carried out 6pm-midnight to reduce inconvenience to residents. Creation of Community Orchard DRONFIELD Town Council has agreed to the creation of a Community Orchard, which will be located on a small section of land located between Poplar Close, Chestnut Close, Highgate Drive and Greenacres Close. The creation of the orchard will begin with the planting of 12 fruit trees, which will be a variety of apple, plum, cherry and pear. The area will be managed by the Town Council and the Community Orchard will be open and accessible at all times. It will be a place where people can relax and enjoy the fruits of the harvest.
