Ockbrook and Borrowash Parish Council

The annual accounts for 2025/26 have been approved by the external auditor and are now available for public inspection at the parish office and on the website. Total expenditure was £128,000, with reserves of £42,000 carried forward.

Funding is being secured to upgrade the memorial garden and main recreation ground, including new benches, replacement dog waste bins, and restored hedgerow along the boundary. The Heartwood Community Forest scheme will also be contributing 200 native trees for the parish boundary.

Police confirmed extra patrols across key areas as we approach the summer months. Residents are encouraged to keep reporting issues so police can take action. The parish PCSO can be contacted via the non-emergency number 101.
