Council and police to stage meetings in Swadlincote area to discuss issues affecting local residents

South Derbyshire District Council - in conjunction with Derbyshire Police - is running another series of online community meetings.

Community meetings provide residents with the perfect opportunity to stay informed and have their say on local matters.

This upcoming series follows the round of meetings that took place in November and December of last year.

Starting with the Newhall area - including Midway and Stanton - on Wednesday, March 9, the community meetings give residents the platform to raise any matters of local interest and for Council representatives, partner agencies such as the Police and other organisations to provide updates and information about local services and issues specific to an area.

There will be six meetings in total which will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams.
