County Council

Written report sent in Cllr Mullers absence:

The road closure that has already advised from Repton to Hartshorne on the 30th October. Cllr Muller is trying to find out if this includes repairs to the speed bumps at the Hartshorne end.

On the downside it has been announced that a £46m deficit has been reported by Derbyshire County Council. High inflation has impacted on the demand for Council services, particularly in the case of Adult Social Care and Childrens services. These are publicised figures for the first quarter of the year but there are concerns going forward and decisive action will be taken to control costs.
