REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE ACT 1985 (21(1)(a)) Councillor Vacancy

PARISH OF ALDERCAR & LANGLEY MILL – COUNCILLOR VACANCY

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that vacancies have occurred in the Office of Councillor for the Parish of Aldercar & Langley Mill. The positions will be filled by co-options made by the Parish Council.

If you wish to apply or require further information, please write or e-mail to the address below: Clerk to the Council, Langley Mill Business Centre Amber Drive, Langley Mill, Derbyshire NG16 4BE

Telephone:01773-717119 E-mail: [email protected] Deadline for applications is 28th February 2017 3 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT February 2016

Welcome to the February Magazine. I hope you enjoy reading it and that it keeps you informed of what is going on in the community and the future plans of your Parish Council.

The Christmas celebrations are over and it is now time for the Parish Council to start work once again to provide services residents can be proud of. I am pleased to confirm that due to sound financial management there will be no

increase in the Parish Precept this year.

Thank you to everyone who attended my Civic Service in December last year, I am very grateful for your help in making it an enjoyable afternoon.

It should be an exciting year to come with several projects coming to fruition. I have previously reported that the Parish Council have been inundated with compliments for last year’s floral displays and we intend to continue to provide the display this year. The flower arrangements were exceptional last year. In man’s Report response to this success the Council are looking into the installation of a central flower bed at the ASDA Traffic roundabout which will be maintained year-round. This will provide a much-needed display of colour to the environment. Look out Chair for this later in the year.

However much there is to look forward to, not everything goes to plan all the time and I must apologise that due to a technical fault on the timers the Christmas Lights were not to the quality we expected and we are taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen this year.

Also, late last year the Parish Council received notice from the owner of the Cromford Road Car Park terminating our lease on the site. It is with regret that the Parish Council no longer have access to the site and cannot provide a public car park.

May I say Councillors and staff are looking forward to serving residents from our 4 new office location at Langley Mill Business Centre on Amber Drive which we will move into towards the end of January. A new year and a new start!

Chairman’s Report The Parish Council actively encourages members of the public to attend our meetings and to contact us to tell us what you think. My fellow Councillors and I are committed to improving Aldercar and Langley Mill and serving you. Help us to help you by talking to us. Remember - It is Your Parish Council.

Finally, may I wish you and your families a prosperous and peaceful new year in our fantastic community.

Cllr M. Fowkes Chairman

NO MORE PARKING AT

PARLIAMENT SQUARE Car Park

The Parish Council is no longer the lease holder for the Parliament Square car park on Cromford Road. This was not a Parish Council decision, the lease having been rescinded by the landowner.

The Parish Council understands the need for parking in the Cromford Road area and had previously been paying £4,000 per annum for the lease to ensure the provision was delivered. The loss of the car park is a blow and the Council is researching if this service may, in some way, be continued

Despite all these positives, the County Council is facing major financial challenges in the coming year. However, hopefully by following sensible policies we will be able to continue to support important groups within our community and invest in the future as we have done to date with initiatives such as the building improvements to Aldercar High School, the building of the new Library and Care Centre and ensuring that our local Children’s Centre remains open.

8 8 COACH TRIP WHERE SHALL WE GO TO NEXT! Coach Trip

The Parish Council is pleased to announce that in the summer of 2017 it will be delivering another of its popular coach trips!

But where will we go to this time? We haven’t made our minds up yet, so are giving you a chance to have your say. We’ve been to some pretty wonderful places over the years, but there are still plenty of other places out there, waiting for us to see.

If you’d like to make a suggestion, simply contact us at the Council Office (contact details on page 2) and tell us where you’d like to go. We’ll sift through the suggestions and pick out a suitable one for our 2017 trip.

To find out where and when we’re going and how to get your tickets, look out for information in the next issue of this magazine and on the Parish noticeboards around the village. Cllr. Clive Booth
