Police News *********** Outline planning permission is being sought for the construction of a mixed use development comprising business park, residential units, public open space, formation of an access and ancillary works at land to the south of Holmleigh Way. Full details can be obtained from the South Derbyshire District Council's planning pages, ref 9/2009/0971 ************ In response to ongoing anti-social behaviour problems caused by young people in the Station Road area, a Mosquito device has been fitted at the eastern end of the road. This device is designed to disperse young people by emitting a high- pitched sound which only they can hear. ************ The medical centre based at
Manor Road is set to close. The plan is to relocate to a site on
the far edge of west Chellaston. This would leave the centre of
the village without a doctors' surgery. The Primary Care Trust
(PCT) has already given the green light to the plans, but the
Residents' Association believes that whilst west Chellaston does require
additional facilities, it is wrong to leave the centre with none,
especially when the Red Lion site remains free for development.
Planning permission for the new facility has been granted. We
would urge residents to write to the PCT if they share our concerns.
Their address is: *****For our Chairman's views, click here or go to our Notices page for more information and our on-line survey.****** ********** St Peter's Church have a brand new website.
