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.

Erewash is poised to get an electric charging station for 22 vehicles – complete with two new eateries where drivers with cars plugged in can top up their own batteries.
