As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

  • Although This Report Was Commissioned by Highways England, the Findings and Recommendations Are Those of the Au
    Although this report was commissioned by Highways England, the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Highways England. While Highways England has made every effort to ensure the information in this document is accurate, Highways England does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of that information; and it cannot accept liability for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from reliance on the information or guidance this document contains. Post Opening Project Evaluation of Major Schemes M1 Junction 25 to 28 Widening Five Years After Opening Study – Key Points What is the scheme? Situated between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, the scheme opened to traffic in 2010. The scheme involved widening a 14 mile (23km) section of carriageway on the M1 motorway between junction 25 at Sandiacre, Derbyshire and junction 28 at Pinxton, Derbyshire. The road was widened from 3 to 4 lanes in each direction. Soon afterwards a controlled motorway technology scheme was implemented on the same scheme section. What are the main findings from the study? Overall, there has been a negligible change in traffic flows across the scheme extent. Average journey times across the scheme have reduced by around 1 minute. There has been decrease in the number of personal injury collisions since the scheme opened, with an average annual saving of 26 collisions and 50 casualties on the scheme itself. The majority of environmental impacts are as expected. The investment cost of building the scheme was 13% lower than forecast. The scheme delivers a Benefit Cost Ratio of 1.7, lower than expected due to the lower traffic levels giving lower benefits.

  • Bolsover North East Derbyshire Leader
    BOLSOVER NORTH EAST DERBYSHIRE LEADER PROGRAMME EVALUATION FEBRUARY 2014 Foreword The past few years have not been easy for our local rural communities and businesses. Government cuts and the economic downturn have led to reduced services and difficulties in accessing much needed finance which has resulted in restricted growth for this area. The £2.4m which the Bolsover North East Derbyshire LEADER Programme has delivered since 2008 into the economies of both Council areas, has played a major part in supporting business, encouraging visitors and creating much needed new jobs. As Chair of the Local Action Group, I have seen projects develop from the first expression of interest through to the finished article, be that a new piece of equipment, a new business or even a new hotel. All of the LEADER funded projects, from the smallest to the biggest, have contributed to the enhancement of the area and to the growth of the local economy. This evaluation document explains what the BNED LEADER Programme has achieved and the rationale for doing what it has. I hope you find the document both informative and interesting. We are now looking forward to submitting a bid for more funding in the next Rural Development Programme which is due to start in 2015 and will run until 2020. By talking with and listening to local people and businesses, we hope to deliver as much, if not more in the next programme to improve our area and communities.
