March 2024 Councillors Shoppers Surgery and more...
March 2024 Councillors Shoppers Surgery
The surgery runs from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. in the open air across the road from the Glossop Market Arcade. Whether you need help, information or advice or want to say hello as you pass by, it would be great to hear from you! If you are unsure whether it’s something your local councillors can help with, please look at my ‘local councillors what can we do for you’ page at http://antmck.uk/5b or come along and ask on Saturday morning. If you can’t attend the surgery on Saturday, please remember that Councillors are not just available at surgeries. You can find more ways to get in touch with me by clicking here. Alternatively, for all other borough Councillors, you can get the details on the borough council’s website at http://www.highpeak.gov.uk/, and county Councillors at http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk.      • View comments • Track comments •

Gamesley Community Centre
 I’m disappointed to have heard via two of the groups currently using the Centre – that Derbyshire County Council have advised that from the end of March, they are shutting the Gamesley Youth and Community Centre on the ring road.I’ve not had any formal confirmation from the County Council so far, and I have contacted the Chief Executive of the County Council to ask for further information confirming both the closure date and why and what alternative arrangements have been made for the existing group using the centre. As soon as I hear anything, I’ll let folks know.  • View comments • Track comments •

Land at the rear of Cottage Lane – Great Places Leaflet
The proposal is to develop 51 new affordable houses with associated access, car parking and landscaping. You can download a copy of the leaflet that has been distributed by clicking here. Great Places advises that they are “engaging with the local community” to inform them of the proposals and gather their views. They ask for comments on the proposals by 8th December before submitting a detailed planning application to the Council in mid to late December. From the details on the leaflet, they advise that the proposed mix of properties is as follows:
Access to the site will be via the current gap about halfway down. The drawing on the leaflet indicates that a house on the side of the gap will be demolished to widen the access. They are asking for comments on the proposals either via email to cottagelane@hiveland.co.uk Or by post to: Cottage Lane Consultation, c/o Hive Land & Planning, 47 North Star Drive, Salford, M3 5LJ They have requested any comments by the 8th of December and advise that they will consider any feedback in developing their final proposal. Whilst it’s not a planning application yet – my commenting on planning applications page may be of use.  • View comments • Track comments •
