Overview
North East Derbyshire District Council acknowledges the key role that town centres play in the social and economic life of the district. They act as the employment, leisure and cultural hubs for their surrounding areas. However, many town centres across the country are struggling to meet the changing demands of 21st century residents and to meet the challenges of online or out of town shopping.
Why we are Consulting
North East Derbyshire District Council has been undertaking regular 'Health Checks' of its town centres. These are questionnaires like this one, that ask users of each of our 4 town centres (Clay Cross, Dronfield, Eckington and Killamarsh) for their opinions on various elements of the town, and what changes they would like to see implemented to make the town centre better. This information is then collated and analysed and is used by the Council to apply for external funding opportunities, for money to help regenerate the towns.
