Alfreton Town Council was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Councillor John McCabe.
Councillor McCabe served his community with great dedication for many years as a long-standing member of Somercotes Parish Council and as a representative on Amber Valley Borough Council, having first been elected in 1986. His commitment to public service and the well-being of local residents was widely respected across the borough.
The Council extends its heartfelt condolences to John’s family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time.

Amber Valley Borough Council is set to launch a new Members’ Community Grants Scheme, designed to provide a funding boost to the people and groups making a difference in their neighbourhoods.
Starting next month, each borough councillor will be able to award up to £500 per year in small grants, helping to fund one-off purchases, events or activities that benefit local residents.
Individual grants of up to £100 will be available, giving councillors the opportunity to directly support worthwhile initiatives in their wards.
The scheme is all about offering quick, targeted support where it’s needed most.
Whether it’s helping a volunteer group buy equipment, funding a small community event, or supporting a project that brings people together, these grants aim to create a positive local impact without the need for large-scale funding applications.
The Members’ Community Grants Scheme will run from April 2025 until March 2027, covering the next two financial years.
Councillor Chris Emmas-Williams, Leader of Amber Valley Borough Council, said: “This scheme is a fantastic way for our councillors to connect with their communities and help get small but meaningful projects off the ground. Often, it’s these modest amounts of funding that can make the biggest difference. I’m really looking forward to seeing the ideas that come forward and working with our members to support them.”
To be eligible, grants must support a project or activity that benefits the local community and takes place within Amber Valley.
Funding should be spent within three months of being received, unless agreed otherwise, and applicants are encouraged to use local suppliers wherever possible.
Full details about the scheme are due to be finalised at the next cabinet meeting on 2 April 2025, after which community groups or individuals with a great idea or specific need will be encouraged to contact their local borough councillor for information on how to make an application.
Residents can find their local borough councillor on the council’s website at https://www.ambervalley.gov.uk/councillors
