Councillors to develop ‘community hub’ as part of regeneration plans in Derbyshire town
The community hub will be a space for any groups to use that will directly benefit the users and people living in Alfreton.
Alfreto Town Council said it is welcoming ideas for activities which can be held at the hub.

Lead Member for regeneration, councillor David Taylor, said: “The members of Alfreton Town Council are enthusiastic and committed to regenerating the Town. This is one of many projects highlighted that will involve the community in making Alfreton a better place to live, work and visit.”
Those who wish to be part of the progress of a community hub in Alfreton can contact Lynn Allison, chief executive of Amber Valley CVS with an expression of interest and outline business plan by emailing lynn@avcvs.org before the deadline on October 1.
Plans should indicate income and expenditure that would be the foundation of a sustainable community hub, and describe any partners you would work with and the role you see Alfreton Town Council playing.
