Clowne Parish Council

The next ordinary meeting of the parish council will be held on Tuesday 6 May at 7pm in the village hall. Agenda items include the annual governance statement, playground inspection report, and highway improvement requests. Public participation is at 7pm.

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 community speedwatch team recorded 47 vehicles exceeding the 30mph limit during March sessions on High Street. Letters have been sent to registered keepers. The parish council is pressing the county council for a vehicle-activated speed sign.

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.
