Move to Plan B: 

The government has announced that England will move to Plan B in response to the risks of the Omicron variant. This means:

  • face coverings are required by law in some public indoor settings, such as shops, takeaways, (where there is no space for consumption of food or drink on the premise), and cinemas
  • office workers who can work from home should do so
  • from 6am on Wednesday 15 December, certain venues and events will be required by law to check the COVID status of customers using the NHS COVID Pass or other accepted proof

📢 Community Update: Planning Appeal Outcome in Alfreton 📢

We are deeply disappointed by the recent decision on the planning appeal in Alfreton. Despite Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) refusing planning permission, the Planning Inspectorate has allowed the appeal, which we believe is a significant loss for our town's character and heritage.

However, we remain committed to protecting Alfreton's unique identity. We're working with consultants to identify and commission an appraisal of the extent and cost to extend the conservation area along with developing a neighbourhood plan to safeguard against future developments. These projects will be allocated funding through the budget-setting process for 2025/2026.

The Town Council has urged AVBC to stick to a promise of prioritising Alfreton and have highlighted the impact of developments on our community. The Town and Borough council must collaborate on these projects and address the concerns. The responsibility for the administration of an extension to the Conservation Area lies firmly with the Borough.

We will also be asking AVBC to identify Section 106 outcomes that align with our community's needs and help preserve Alfreton's character, especially when development takes place in our Town and outlying villages that utilise Alfreton.

This is a challenging time, but we will continue to fight for Alfreton's best interests.
