Our May monthly meeting will be on Tuesday 14th May in the town hall at 7.00pm.

Agenda   Minutes of April meeting

The Trans Pennine Trail between Tapton Lock and Station Road in Brimington is being resurfaced. The work will start on April 29th meaning the trail will be closed for the duration of the works. When at all possible the trail will be opened for evenings and weekends.

As a follow on from Transition Chesterfield's 'Fossil Fuel to Pedal Power' project there will be a bike maintenance workshop on Sunday April 21st at Loundsley Green Community Centre between 10.30am and 1.30pm. Bring yourself and your bike for instruction on bike maintenance and a bike 'MOT' and minor adjustments. Charge of £2 per person, contact workshop@transitionchesterfield.org.uk for more details and to book a place.

On the same day is a 'Breeze' ride for ladies only starting from Loundsley Green Community Centre at 11.00am to Holmebrook Valley Park cafe and back. Ladies get your bike checked over before departure!

Its all happening at Loundsley Green Community Centre! On Saturday 27th April there is a Spring Ceilidh by Brampton Community Band from 7.30pm to 10.30pm. Music, dancing and pie and pea supper. £7.00 per ticket - 07811 872834.

Many of the band are Campaign members.

Our April meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday 9th April at 7.00pm in the town hall, Chesterfield. Bikes can be left in the foyer.

Please find below links to the agenda and minutes from the March meeting. In particular we are looking for volunteers to help run our stall at various events:

May Day - May 6th - stall in the Winding Wheel and cyclists joining the march from the town hall at 11.00am (a good test of slow riding!).

Hasland Gala - June 9th - if we can get volunteers we will have a stall.

Canal Festival - June 29th/30th - stall.

Inkerman Buzz - July 14th - stall.

In addition we have a ride from Tapton Lock Visitors Centre planned on June 16th, leave at 1.00pm, through Brimington and Inkersall on the Trans Pennine trail and return along the canal stopping at the Hollingwood Hub for refreshments.

Our annual Pea & Pie supper on June 21st, venue tba.

Agenda   Minutes from March

The planning application for Hipper Valley 3, the extension to Holymoorside was due to be discussed last week. We understand that due to a technicality the application was withdrawn at the last minute by DCC. We are awaiting more details but it is unlikely to be discussed now until June due to the County Council elections.

We have just heard that the approach from the railway station to the town centre and Horn's Bridge roundabout have been selected as the two gateways to share a £0.5M enhancement scheme funding.

DCC already have a scheme to raise the railings in the footbridge over the A61 adjacent to the Chesterfield Hotel awaiting approval.

Our monthly meeting will take place on 12th March at 7.00pm in the town hall.

Combined minutes and agenda

The TPT is to be closed for resurfacing between Tapton Lock Visitors Centre and Station Road from end of February to end of March. In reality the work will probably only take up to two weeks, but the exact start date is unknown.  The route is closed for the duration of the work due to the lack of an alternative, this is on safety grounds. The route will be kept open as often as possible at evenings/weekends to try and minimise inconvenience.

Our February meeting will be on Tuesday 12th Feb at 7.00pm in the town hall. Bikes can be left in the foyer.
