Erewash Sound, which is run on a non-profit making basis, has been granted permission to continue broadcasting on FM until 2030.

The Erewash MP has issued a statement in response to recently announced plans to close care homes in the borough.

Erewash Sound has partnered with a local business to launch a competition to develop communication and writing skills within schools as well as to perhaps discover and nurture new broadcasting talent, with listeners being given the opportunity to have a say on the outcome.

Erewash Borough Council has thrown its collective weight behind a competition in which budding broadcasters aged between 9 and 11 can win up to £1,000 for Erewash and Derby City-based schools – and seize the chance to become local radio stars.

Both MPs elected to seats covering the Erewash borough in the July 4th General Election have, along with a number of other Derbyshire MPs, co-signed a letter to the County Council Leader to protest and appeal against plans to close care homes and day centres.

Toddlers and pensioners are among Erewash residents who have benefitted from a council mission to inject tens of thousands of pounds into the community with a minimum of faff, a new report reveals.

A new report has revealed that a £2.8m boost for Erewash clinched by the borough council from central government is putting the borough on the map as it improves the lives of residents.
