Dear Resident

On behalf of myself and Steve, firstly can I thank you for your support in the Derbyshire County Council elections.  I am always humbled by the support I receive from the community and even though we have a bigger area to cover, I will always do my best to make this area a better place and be available when you need support.

I am pleased to announce that the B600, Somercotes Hill from just below George Street through to the Blackhorse Public House has been approved for re-surfacing.   June is the start date for this work.  Also Quarry Road is being surfaced dressed again due to my reporting of the failure of the previous resurfacing of that road.  A new entrance of Sleetmoor Lane into Sleetmoor Wood next to the football pitches is being created with a horse hop, improved pedestrian facilities and better visibility being created.

The Post Box at Leabrooks is being moved forward now the Post Office have appointed a new Manager; I am hoping this will be speeded up and make posting a letter in the area easier.

Yours sincerely

Councillor Paul Smith
