Issue - meetings

In 2022/23, prior to the local elections, the Committee undertook a review of the

Bolsover District Regeneration Framework. The review looked at the four main

settlements within the District namely Bolsover, Clowne, Shirebrook and South

Normanton, and how these areas could be improved through regeneration.

With the emerging East Midlands County Combined Authority (EMCCA), the Council was reviewing and aligning it’s priorities to ensure that it could maximise on all potential opportunities.

It was clear from the review that the Regeneration Framework no longer helped the Council compete for funding and also no longer accurately reflected the needs of the District.

It was suggested that the Regeneration Frameworks were not updated but used as background information to the Council’s ongoing work on the development of a place based narrative. Where appropriate this information would support the preparation of the Council’s Investment Plan that was intended to shape, influence, and deliver future economic development and regeneration within the District.

Moved by Councillor Duncan Haywood and seconded by Councillor Jane Yates

RESOLVED that:

(1) the Regeneration Frameworks are not updated but are superseded by the Council’s ongoing work to develop a place-based narrative and investment plan as an appropriate mechanism to shape, influence and deliver future economic development and regeneration in the District; and;

(2) the Committee receive further reports on the development of these pieces of work in due course.
