Hartington Parish Council

The Friday evening youth club is looking for two additional volunteer leaders to support the growing attendance. DBS checks are provided free of charge. If you can spare a couple of hours on a Friday evening, please contact the parish clerk.

An extraordinary meeting has been called for Monday 21 April at 6:30pm to discuss the renewal of the allotment lease with the landowner. All current allotment holders are encouraged to attend as the proposed terms include changes to plot sizes and water access.

Six new dual-compartment recycling bins have been installed in the village centre as part of the district council's waste reduction programme. The bins accept both general waste and mixed recycling. The parish council funded the decorative surrounds to match the conservation area.

The local authority is reviewing the conservation area boundary. The parish council has submitted a response recommending the inclusion of the historic mill buildings on Water Lane. Residents can view the proposals at the parish office.

The parish precept has been set at the same level as last year, with no increase for Band D properties. The council has achieved this through careful budget management while maintaining all existing services and committing to new wildflower planting along the main road.
