Housing Strategy
A decent affordable home is important as it provides a safe and stable environment, which can have a substantial impact on people’s lives and their health and wellbeing. As the local housing authority, we work to meet our resident housing needs covering a wide range of aspects from facilitating the delivery of new homes to overseeing housing standards within the district.
The Housing Strategy is reflective of our Corporate Plan, Bolsover District: The Future 2024-2028, and the development framework of the Local Plan for Bolsover District to 2033, which sets out where new homes are allocated in the district and provides for affordable housing to be delivered through the market.
The strategy focuses on delivery under the following key priorities for the period from 2024-2029:
We are currently completing the public consultation stage of our strategy development and would appreciate your views on the proposed priorities by completing our survey. The questionnaire will go through the four priorities and 11 desired outcomes to see if you agree or disagree with them as well as asking you to rank the priority order for proposed actions under each priority. A draft of the Housing Strategy 2024 to 2029 is available.
The consultation will close on Sunday 29 September 2024 and once you have completed the survey, if you have any additional comments you can email (opens in a new window) them to us.
A company called John Martin-Hoyes Ltd completed the work on the new floor at Newton Community Centre and did a fantastic job.
Also a big thank you to Cast Angling Project for their help in removing the previous flooring and a local volunteer for spraying the remaining space with pesticide to get rid of any remaining fungal spores.
Please keep an eye out in our Newsletter (due to be delivered just before Easter) for a more detailed report about the process of putting the new floor in.
Newton Community Centre was reopened on Monday 5th February with a well attended open morning to the public.
The public were incredibly complimentary about the newly painted and refurbished main hall. Bolsover TV also filmed a segment about the reopening. See the Newton segment starting from 3 minutes 20 seconds on Bolsover TV here.

National Emergency Area Retrofit - work to start on the M1 and M5 in the next few weeks.
National Highways is delivering a government commitment to add more than 150 more emergency areas to motorways across the country.
Several sections of the M1 and M5 are being upgraded. The programme of work will start from 2 April 2024, and is expected to be complete by March 2025. I am writing to give you an overview of what this means for the strategic road network.
Work to build additional emergency areas is already underway on the M1 between junctions 32 to 35a in South Yorkshire and junctions 30 to 31 in Derbyshire, and on the M6 junctions 21a to 26 in Cheshire.
Please be aware we do our upmost to maintain these dates, however dates are subject to change. We will regularly publish information about the upgrade and the roadworks on our website at www.nationalhighways.co.uk/emergency-areas.
