🌉 New Chesterfield Canal Bridge officially opens 🛥️ A 38m long bridge on the Trans Pennine Trail in Staveley has now been formally opened. The ribbon was cut by Ivan Fomin, Managing Director of MSE Hiller and Chair of the Staveley Town Deal Board. A group of children from Hollingwood Primary School were the first to ride across to great applause from about 40 guests representing all the organisations involved in bringing the project to fruition. After posing for photographs, they rode back accompanied by Ivan Fomin and Toby Perkins MP, who were on electric bikes provided by Wheels to Work, another Town Deal project to provide travel support to help residents over the age of 16 get to work, training or college. Before the official ceremony, a horse and its rider crossed the bridge to represent the British Horse Society and promote the multi-user route. The bridge is the first phase of a £6 million restoration scheme managed by the Chesterfield Canal Trust. Most of the money will come from the Staveley Town Deal, a £25.2 million investment in Staveley through the Government’s Towns Fund, covering nine projects in all. Children from Hollingwood Primary School with their headteacher, Mr Chris Stewart, Toby Perkins MP and Ivan Fomin Next year will see a new lock, a new bridge, a pumping system, about 400m of restored canal, lots of landscaping and planting works and 3km of upgraded towpath to the borough boundary. Hundreds of thousands of tons of clay will also be placed on the line of the historic Staveley Puddlebank ready for full restoration in the future. #LoveChesterfield #ChesterfieldNews

🚄 Chesterfield rail passengers benefit from shorter Sunday journey times to London 🛤️ A new intercity timetable providing faster Sunday services has been put into place, saving Chesterfield passengers up to 20 minutes on their journey time to London St. Pancras. East Midlands Railway (EMR) is now offering significantly improved Sunday Intercity journey times as part of its December timetable change. Changes to the timetable will also mean passengers travelling to Chesterfield from London will save up to 27 minutes on their journey. The enhancements, which are made possible by working in collaboration with Network Rail, will require the closure of tracks for maintenance and will result in the removal of two early Sunday morning services. This will give Network Rail more time to carry out maintenance work and ensure trains run safely and reliably. #LoveChesterfield #ChesterfieldNews
