CONSULTATION
Derbyshire Electric Vehicle Charging Survey
The DCC Sustainable Travel team are pleased to announce the launch of Derbyshire's Electric Vehicle charging survey.
Derbyshire County Council (DCC) are working towards developing a comprehensive network of on-street and destination charge points to provide practical and realistic alternative for those EV owners who do not have access to home or work charging facilities.
To determine where demand is highest for future charging infrastructure, DCC are collecting information through a dedicated webpage. If you're keen to register your interest in electric vehicle charging infrastructure please follow the below link,
Electric vehicle charging in your area - Derbyshire County Council
This survey is asking for resident, business, and visitor views on electric charging infrastructure provision in the County to provide an evidence base to help identify areas of demand and subsequently inform the most suitable locations to provide EV charge points in the future, so the wider audience this can reach the better. Once registered, requests will be mapped alongside all other requests received across the County. This information will then be used to identify the most suitable locations to provide EV charge points in the future.
To help you identify your nearest existing charge point please visit www.zap-map.com, which provides live and up to date information on charge point locations.
We thank you for your support and if there are any further Electric Vehicle or Active Travel related enquiries, please contact the Sustainable Travel Team at sustainable.travel@derbyshire.gov.uk.

Town Hall Boiler Replacement
This is necessary as the boiler is more than 50 years old and it is becoming increasingly difficult to be able to get replacement parts for the current boiler. All avenues have been investigated regarding the type of boiler but given the type of building it seems that a replacement gas boiler is the most suitable.
The Council will need to apply for a loan of £20,000 for this purpose.
PLEASE NOTE
The toilets on High Street, New Mills are the responsibility of High Peak Borough Council.

New Mills
An Introduction
New Mills lies where the rivers Sett and Goyt join to become one of the principal tributaries of the River Mersey. The rivers flow through the town in a spectacular gorge, the Torrs, home to the Millennium Walkway. The Peak Forest Canal also passes through the town with a well established marina at Newtown. Much of the district is rural with large parts in agriculture mainly cattle and sheep.
Areas around Rowarth and Ollersett Moor are within the Peak District National Park with excellent footpath links and some open access land. Its rural hinterland and gateway to the Peak District, and proximity to the Manchester conurbation makes New Mills a popular place for walkers. The town is particularly well connected by rail to Manchester, Stockport and Sheffield.
Considerable industrial activity still takes place in the New Mills area, with companies involved in confectionery, engineering, quarrying, haulage, design and IT development.
New Mills was designated High peak's first Fairtrade town in 2006. The town centre has a wide range of independent specialist shops, indoor and outdoor markets and professional services. Bus and rail services link the town centre with outlying areas and surrounding villages.
