Derbyshire residents are being invited to have their say on how county council care services could be run in the future.

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

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.
