Independent councillors representing Ockbrook and Borrowash have taken to their social media page in a call for residents to give a collective 'NO' message to National Grid proposals for pylons through the two villages.

Ockbrook & Borrowash Parish Councillor Greg Maskalick has crossed the political floor from being "one lone Independent" to join Labour at Erewash Borough Council.

New data has suggested a resurgence in both Ilkeston and Long Eaton town centres.

Toddlers and pensioners are among Erewash residents who have benefitted from a council mission to inject tens of thousands of pounds into the community with a minimum of faff, a new report reveals.

A parish councillor has been shortlisted for a national award, having been selected as one of eight candidates for a 'Positive Role Model' accolade as part of the 13th National Diversity Awards which will be held at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral on 4th October 2024.
