Commenting on today's Valuing our heritage report from a coalition of heritage organisations arguing the case for future investment in the historic environment, Liberal Democrat Arts and Heritage Spokesperson, Paul Holmes MP said:
Paul Holmes, Liberal Democrat MP for Chesterfield, today called on local residents to protect themselves and their families from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning by making a New Year's Resolution to play it safe with gas in 2007.
Brimington residents were very distressed to see that vandals had run amok in Tapton Park's Peace Garden. They had uprooted hundreds of plants and flung earth and soil around the garden.
A new walking group has been set up for Brimington and Tapton. The walkers head out every Thursday from the Manor Rest centre opposite the Prince of Wales on Manor Road, Brimington.
Petitions from residents of Brockwell Ward and St Helen's Ward have been sent to Derbyshire County Council asking for a crossing on Newbold Road to help residents cross the busy road. Many older residents find real difficulty in getting across safely to the Post Office.
The Brockwell Lib Dem Focus Team have had complaints that turning left out of the Tesco's site on Newbold Road is a safety hazard. This is because the mobile phone mast equipment box makes it difficult to see traffic coming from the right into town.
