Pilsley Parish Council

A new public access defibrillator has been installed outside the village shop thanks to fundraising by the parish council and a generous donation from the local WI. Free training sessions will be held on the first Saturday of each month at the village hall.

An expression of interest has been submitted for a grant of up to £35,000 to support major improvements at the recreation ground, including new climbing equipment and accessible play surfaces. A decision is expected by the end of June.

The Council raised strong objections to a proposed 45-home development off Church Lane, highlighting traffic congestion, loss of green belt land, and inadequate drainage infrastructure. Residents are encouraged to submit their views via the planning portal before the consultation deadline.
