The Safer South Derbyshire Partnership in conjunction with the Council and Derbyshire Police are running a series of online Community Meetings.

The series of Community Meetings are set to commence across the District from this week and will provide residents with the perfect opportunity to stay informed and have their say on local matters.

Starting with the Newhall area (including Midway and Stanton) tomorrow (November 23), the Community Meetings give residents the opportunity 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 specific to an area.

There will be six meetings in total which will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams whilst the risk of COVID-19 remains.
