🥚 Still waiting for your food waste caddy?

As you can see from our little egg friend here, we are working hard to rush the final remaining bins to your doorsteps! 🏃💨

The vast majority of caddies across South Derbyshire have now been successfully delivered. However, we know a small number of residents are still waiting on all or part of their new food waste bundle.

Missing yours? If you haven't received your indoor kitchen caddy or your outdoor kerbside caddy yet, please report it so our team can investigate and prioritise your delivery.

If you still have not received your caddy by 1 June, please place your food waste in your black bin until your food waste caddy bundle has been delivered, unless you are able to store it in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience as we gear up for our new weekly food waste collections! 💚

Good morning,

Your voice matters – help shape safer communities across Derbyshire.

Derbyshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, has launched an important survey on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). This survey invites women and girls across Derby and Derbyshire to share their experiences, perceptions of safety, and views on gender-based violence. All responses are completely anonymous, and the insights gathered will play a key role in shaping future services and support.

We would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this survey with your networks, including those who may have been affected, to ensure as many voices as possible are heard.

A promotional poster is attached for reference, and the survey will close at the end of July.

Understanding your views/experiences of Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in the Derbyshire Police force area.   If you wish to report a specific crime or incident, please contact Derbyshire Police on 101 or via their website www.derbyshire.police.uk/ro/report All information& #1...

Hi all,

Following the recent flooding events in the village, we are trying to build a clearer and more complete picture of how flooding is affecting residents.

This short questionnaire has been put together to capture not just whether properties have flooded, but also the wider impacts — such as access issues, disruption to daily life, and any other effects people may be experiencing.

The information gathered will be used to support ongoing discussions with Severn Trent, the Environment Agency and Derbyshire County Council, helping ensure that the full impact on the community is properly understood.

No personal details are required, and responses can be submitted anonymously. The aim is to identify overall patterns and experiences across the village, rather than individual households.

It would be really helpful if as many residents as possible could take a few minutes to complete it. The more responses we receive, the stronger and more representative the evidence will be.

Please feel free to share with others in the village.

Many thanks for your help.
