John Fletcher—Chairman What is the Collective Noun for Red Telephone Kiosks? In 2015 Dronfield Civic Society purchased two K6 boxes from BT for £1 and renovated and restored them to their iconic status as heritage features of the local street scene. Four years on we’re adding to our fleet, gaggle or swarm with another one. The K6 below the Holmesdale shops is in a bad way. Decommissioned and ready to be taken away for scrap, we’ve paid our pound, signed an adoption certificate and saved it from extinction. When renovated the kiosk will have an information panel inside it about the history of the K6. It will improve the area and be maintained by the Civic Society. We will be helping Unstone Parish Council to renovate their K6s later in the year. Would you like to help restore a quintessential British icon? No experience necessary, just lots of enthusiasm required. If so please contact us. This is an extremely worthwhile project to be part of. Committee member David met the BT engineer on site and was handed replacement glazing, a new door strap and grab handle. We are now the proud owners of three K6s, with the latest box awaiting restoration by volunteers in the spring. It’s a Calling!

Dronfield Civic Society has long campaigned for a traffic management plan for the whole town. There is a need for more car parks to prevent on-street and pavement parking and to help local businesses. Some roads have become rat runs to avoid the traffic calming measures on other roads. We need an approach that manages congestion effectively and we need safer places for pedestrians to cross. Google Maps The difficulties of crossing the High Street are apparent. Traffic counts reveal huge increases in vehicle movements within this part of the Town Centre but it has not been accompanied by the necessary provision for pedestrians. DCS recently decided to revisit the need for some sort of crossing facility on the High Street by contacting Bridget Gould (Economy, Transport and Environment) Derbyshire County Council and by copying in Lee Rowley MP. The Council is concerned that there is not enough forward visibility This has been needed for a long time. around the bend at the top of High Street to meet the requirements for a crossing, whether it is a Puffin or a Zebra. They This road should be pedestrianised. state that the requirement is 70 metres and visibility is only 30 I agree that a crossing is definitely needed metres at this point. Council did point out that there is a splitter but it has to be made visible to both traffic island at the Sainsbury’s Roundabout which enables pedestrians from Sainsbury’s and coming up High St or it may cause more accidents. to cross in two halves. But that is not helpful to access the Civic Centre. The top of High Street is the ‘desire line’ to cross the road Definitely needed. to get to the Civic Centre, Library and Medical Centre. Council do Wouldn’t a pelican crossing be visible enough on not think that further down High Street would attract the the actual corner? I cross there as I get required number of people for a zebra crossing. It is possible that better visibility there in both directions though with the path through the Barn Garden and round the side of the not the best place to cross.

Does High Street need a crossing and if so where should it be sited? Should High Street be pedestrianised below the Peel Monument (except for residents and deliveries)? Would some local roads be safer as one-way routes due to the number of parked cars? Are parked cars a means of slowing traffic? Contact us if you have any ideas about how to solve Dronfield’s traffic trouble or join us to help take this matter forward. 2 The Great British Spring Clean 22nd March—23rd April This year the Civic Society will be taking part in the Great British Spring Clean. We’ll be organising a community big litter pick at a problem area to rid the town of single-use plastic which degrades the beauty of our local environment and causes harm to wildlife.

We have a full range of litter picking kit from bags to hi-vis jackets to picking tools. All welcome. You don’t need to be a DCS member to take part. Join Us and Be Part of the Pick New DCS Website For our thirtieth year we have launched a new website. It is contemporary, interactive and simpler to navigate. Our web address remains the same and you will be able to contact two committee members through the enquiries@ email address.

  • Objection to the Old Whittington Lane and Church Street, Unstone (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2019
    Author: Bridget Gould Public Ext: 38579 Agenda Item No. 4(c) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAY, TRANSPORT AND INFASTRUCTURE 10 October 2019 Report of the Executive Director – Economy, Transport and Environment OBJECTION TO THE (OLD WHITTINGTON LANE AND CHURCH STREET, UNSTONE) (PROHIBITION OF MOTOR VEHICLES) ORDER 2019 (1) Purpose of Report To inform the Cabinet Member of an objection following the public advertisement and consultation on the Old Whittington Lane and Church Street, Unstone (Prohibition of Motor Vehicles) Order 2019 which is currently being progressed under the delegated powers of the Executive Director – Economy, Transport and Environment for Traffic Regulation Orders. (2) Information and Analysis Background In December 2018, following extensive consultation and public engagement events, approval was given to the shared use cycle path along the B6057 between Dronfield and Unstone, which included the County Council advertising any Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) to facilitate its implementation. The Cabinet Member requested to see any representations made as a result of any advertised TROs. As part of the construction of the proposed cycle path, it will be necessary to prohibit motor vehicles from entering Church Street and Old Whittington Lane from the B6057 in order to construct a continual cycle path across these access roads. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to advertise a TRO to prohibit motor vehicles. This was advertised on street and in the Derbyshire Times from 6 June 2019 to 28 June 2019 and received one objection, from Unstone Parish Council The objection reads as follows: “The council objects to the proposed closure of both roads as the closure will create a disproportionate amount of traffic on neighbouring roads, especially on Crow Lane at school drop off and pick up times.

  • Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan Community Consultation Drop-In
    1 Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan Community Consultation Drop-in Events – Indicative Findings August 2017 Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan – Findings from Community Consultation Events – Aug 2017 2 Introduction to Dronfield Dronfield is a large parish in North East Derbyshire in the north midlands region of England. It comprises the three communities of Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston interspersed with large areas of open countryside. It is sited in the valley of the small River Drone, and lies between the town of Chesterfield and the city of Sheffield. Dronfield covers an area of 3,457 acres (13.99 km2) and has as neighbours the villages and hamlets of Unstone, Holmesfield, Barlow, Apperknowle, Hundall, Marsh Lane and Eckington.
