SNEAK PEEK: What's in this week's Derbyshire Times?

We have the heartwarming tale of how comedian Jason Manford stepped in to offer support for a Derbyshire mum who lost her eight-year-old daughter in a road crash earlier this year.

There’s a photo round-up of this week’s snowy weather.

We talk to the parents of a baby boy who had 40cm of his intestine removed when he was just a week old about why they are backing a Christmas appeal to thank a charity for coming to their aid.

We were there as residents voiced their opposition to fracking taking place in north east Derbyshire at a public debate.

There’s a look at five great places to see Santa and the chance to win tea for two at Patisserie Valerie.

And of course there’s also your usual helping of community news, letters, columns and more.

As well as all of this, there’s your guide to what’s on when and where in our entertainment section GO! and all the latest Spireites and sport headlines dominate the back pages.
