Report potholes
Derbyshire County Council has a webpage here where you can report potholes. The more people that report them, the more likely DCC are to do something about them – so please do nag the County Council by using that link and submitting a report.
Safer Neighbourhood survey
The Safer Neighbourhood Team are working with Partnerships and Agencies to make the area where you live a safe and enjoyable place to live and visit. By voicing your concerns this will enable us to focus primarily on what is affecting you most in your community. Please follow this link to complete the survey.
Home Upgrade Grant
DDDC has current grant funding available for free energy efficiency upgrades for eligible households. They are promoting the Home Upgrade Grant to residents of the Derbyshire Dales who may be eligible and have funding available for energy efficiency improvements for off gas homes where residents may be in fuel poverty – homes could be offered insulation, low carbon heating such as air source heat pumps, and solar panels. Each home will be assessed individually at no cost and no obligation. If you know of anyone who might qualify, please let them know. More information is on this page on DDDC’s website and in this poster which you can read or download.
