Members of the Calow Hospital Winter Snow 4x4 Angels Volunteer Group intend to drive through the Royal’s grounds at around 8pm on Thursday as part of the Clap for our Carers tribute.

The group – which transports NHS staff to and from work during emergencies – will honk their vehicles’ horns before clapping in support of the hospital’s workers.

They will be joined by Mick Bagshaw, Chesterfield’s deputy mayor, and Dawn Campion, deputy mayoress.

Annemarie Plas, the woman behind Clap for our Carers, has said the event has ‘had its moment’ and should end on Thursday.

She said the public had ‘shown our appreciation’ and it was now up to ministers to ‘reward’ key workers.

The Government has said it is considering how best to do so.
