Alfreton Special School Grant £500.00
The Town Mayor was invited along to the school to see first hand the work which the children get involved in and how the money granted to them was going to be used. A canopy will be installed in the garden to allow all round use of the area for the children to continue to plant, grow and nurture their flowers and vegetables.
The Mayor can be seen with some of the children who wanted to thank the Town Council for their continued support.

The Town Council have run a "Christmas Elf Competition" in conjunction with their lights switch on, for children to spot 14 Elves in businesses windows around the town.

The competition winners have now been drawn and will be contacted directly, well done to everyone that took part!

The Town council have run a competition in conjunction with their lights switch on, for local businesses to take part in a best dressed window challenge.

Many of the shops in Alfreton chose to take part and it was a very difficult decision for the judge to make.

Wendy Comins of South Normanton Area Food Bank, the Town Mayors chosen charity, has kindly chosen the winner after visiting each shop one afternoon. ‘It was not an easy job because each one was beautifully decorated, many in a style in keeping with the shop itself. I chose ‘Pierce of Art’ on Central Road. The display reminded me of an old fashioned Christmas with stockings hanging on the fireplace, a blazing fire and presents around the tree’

Well done to the staff at Pierce of Art; Lesley, Elizabeth, Jess, Lucy, Tom and Abbey, they will be presented with their prize by the Town Mayor, Councillor Mary Kerry next week.

Members and staff from Alfreton Town Council will be assisting South Normanton Foodbank at their annual three-day food collection in the Tesco store Alfreton. South Normanton Foodbank, who operate from Alfreton House each Wednesday afternoon, is the Mayor’s chosen charity for 2018/19.

Town Mayor, Councillor Mary Kerry, was keen to support a local cause and wanted to not only donate funds but also time which is so undervalued and precious in today’s society.
