Council receives £15m from government A number of regeneration projects across Bolsover District have been given the go-ahead after we received confirmation we would be allocated £15million from the new government. The Government made the announcement as part of their Autumn Statement and the projects are based on the initial investment plan which was approved in June. They include the development of prominent buildings in Bolsover town, the refurbishment of the former church hall in Pinxton and the construction of a Green Skills and Retrofit Skills Centre in Shirebrook. Council Leader, Councillor Steve Fritchley said, “This is good news for the entire district of Bolsover. The money will reach every corner of our district and provide a catalyst for further growth, which is our main ambition.” Also included will be a new pavilion/events hub on Shirebrook market place and improvements to the public realm in various towns and villages in the area. Councillor Fritchley added, “Whilst we have been awaiting this confirmation, we have continued to do the groundwork on a number of the projects, and I want to thank all the staff involved for their continued commitment and efforts to get us to this stage. “The hard work starts now, and I am looking forward to seeing the projects come to life for the benefit of our residents, businesses and visitors.” Council and government officials will now discuss the project timetables and implementation plans over the coming weeks.
