Rush Directed by Happy Days alumni Ron Howard comes a film based on the real life events that took place during the 1976 Formula 1 racing championship.

The story follows the rivalry between British driver James Hunt and Austrian Niki Lauda. There’s car racing, womanising and cross words thrown around in the on-going competition between the two drivers. Then, after a catastrophic crash at the German Grand Prix in ’76 that almost claimed his life, Lauda returns to face Hunt in the pursuit of the World Championship in Japan.

The Owl and the Pussycat went to… the wife needed to prove that one of them was domiciled in England at the time the petition was lodged – which she did. The judge deemed that they both were; she because, despite being born in India, she chose to live in England with no intention of returning to India (the move to Singapore was temporary) and he; because his father had acquired a domicile of choice in England before he was born, having had no intention of returning to India.

25 new Ambassadors all set for Chesterfield Chesterfield has recruited 25 more willing volunteers to sing the praises of the town, bringing the total of ‘ambassadors’ to 125. The volunteers join the town’s Ambassador Scheme ahead of the influx of tourists over the summer.

The new ambassadors include frontline staff from the town’s businesses, including restaurants, museums, banks and Chesterfield Borough council employees. They join local residents, traffic wardens and sales assistants to name but a few, who have previously signed up to the voluntary, unpaid scheme.

Chesterfield Ambassadors is the brainchild of the town’s marketing campaign Destination Chesterfield, and is designed to ensure that all visitors to

the town have a great time here and leave with a positive impression.

Dominic Stevens, Destination Chesterfield Manager explained: “We have marketed Chesterfield a as place to live, work and invest in during the last two years.

Many businesses and people have chosen to locate here and this, coupled with an 11% increase in tourism, ensures that our Ambassadors play a vital role in helping market the town positively. The Ambassadors Scheme is about ensuring all visitors – whether tourists or here on business - leave with a positive opinion of Chesterfield and are excited, like we are, of our plans for the future.”

The latest ambassadors recently

underwent training to ensure they were all equipped with the latest news, facts and figures about the town – from how many tiles are on the iconic church spire to information about the town’s regeneration plans alongside the importance of good customer service.

Ambassadors then receive regular updates about the town on events, developments and local news.

The two-hour training workshop took place at the Town Hall and was developed with Chesterfield Champion, Evolution Training. If you’re interested in becoming an ambassador, visit www.chesterfield.co.uk to find out more.

Extra Easy Fight for Tyson - Personal Account

For 9 years Mandy was tired of fighting to regain control over her weight, struggling with diabetes, stress and depression while also at risk of a heart Attack, then the bell rang…and Mandy had a wake-up call! Mandy was to become a grandmother for the first time! She knew that if she didn’t do something about her life style she wouldn’t be around to see her grandchild grow up!

Yet the odds were against Mandy winning this fight… as Mandy had been the biggest child in her class, tormented and teased. When she had children her weight had continued to increase. And it was a knock out for Mandy when on a flight to Florida, she required a seat belt extension, and had to queue for the larger seats on rides in the theme parks. Mandy had faced humiliating comments and embarrassment wherever she went.

Socially she had created a larger than life character to hide what she really felt, always showing a positive and determined Mandy!

Because of this, Mandy felt colleagues were often nervous around because of her size and appearance. As a result she suffered with severe depression, lack of motivation, self-worth, self-esteem and confidence, and inevitably this had a huge impact on her.

Knocked out again, Mandy decided to take the huge step of voluntary redundancy. Totally out

At her Slimming World group Mandy quickly learned to cook cheap, healthy filling meals that the whole family enjoyed.

There is great value in our Night Time Economy As a small business owner for over 25 years in Chesterfield, as well as a member of the Federation of Small Business, I feel positive about our town’s future. The housing market is picking up and our town centre is surviving these difficult times. Best of all though, the sun has been shining, giving us the opportunity to see just how well managed and pretty our town is.

It is not only the market stall holders that benefit from the warmer weather, it is also a great opportunity for the town’s night time economy as more people venture out to socialise, whether it’s for a drink, a meal, a show or clubbing.

Unfortunately this is against the backdrop of frequent national headlines warning of the British Binge Drinking Culture’, a town’s evening economy can be under appreciated, even feared. However, did you know that our town is one of the safest in the UK to socialise in?

This is because here in Chesterfield the responsible bar and club owners, as part of their licensing objectives, work closely with the authorities to ensure that we have a vibrant and safe night time economy. Often problems stem from outside forces, such as cheaply sold alcohol leading to ‘pre-loading’. This is an official term which refers to consuming

substantial quantities of alcohol in an unregulated environment. Recent information suggests that this could be a contributing factor to an increase of incidents in alcohol related crime in the suburbs and the wider community.

Any negative perception of night time socialising within our town centre should be seen as historical, we must not let any misconceptions overshadow the significant contribution our well managed and properly regulated night-time economy makes to Chesterfield town centre.

Chesterfield’s privately run bars, restaurants and clubs employ hundreds of local people. These businesses also invest millions of pounds in the development and maintenance of quality, safe venues in Chesterfield. In turn, they support many businesses and services in the local economy such as public transport, taxi companies, clothes shops and hair and beauty salons and many other small local retail businesses. Add this to the list of local plumbers, builders and electricians we all use and you have a complex system of cross-trade synergy. This symbiotic relationship then allows the profit generated by these small businesses to be pumped back into the local

economy, driving growth in our area rather than being taken by multi-national companies.

Chesterfield now has a valuable social scene with a wide and varied selection of privately run bars, Real Ale pubs, clubs, gastro pubs, wine bars, cocktail bars and restaurants.

We deliver so much more than just a place to have a drink. There are many types and styles of cuisine on offer, as well as exciting choices of live music and DJs within varied and different surroundings, ranging from the sumptuous elegance of a cocktail bar to the traditional cosiness of a real ale pub. There truly is something for everyone in our lovely little town of Chesterfield.

Against the odds we have one of the safest and buoyant towns in the UK with a great and exciting night life.

Well done everyone. Enjoy it!!

Signs of Local Housing Recovery..

Britain’s housing recovery evident in the East Midlands Chesterfield is ‘top of the wish list’ for many buyers Signs of the UK housing market’s "meaningful recovery" are evident in the East Midlands town of Chesterfield according to Destination Chesterfield.

Developer Miller Homes East Midlands has described Chesterfield as being “at the top of the wish list for many couples, families and individuals looking to buy.”

Miller Homes is one of a number of developers currently building more than 200 new in the borough, with more planned on a 1.94 hectare site of a former school.

In addition to new build, estate agents in the town are also reporting an increase in sales and instructions with a new agency opening in the town less than eight months ago to meet demand.

Redbrik, which opened in Chesterfield in January 2013, reports a buoyant housing market, with as many as ‘three or four potential buyers making offers’ on some properties in the west side of town.

Mark Ross, partner of Redbrik, said: “We are experiencing higher confidence levels in the market right now, with greater numbers of viewings and an increase in mortgage approvals contributing to a great start for Redbrik and helping us achieve over 100 instructions in half the time we expected.”

Mark reports an increase in house prices across the board in Chesterfield, with properties in key school catchment areas being up as much as 5% compared to last year.

28

Paul Walters, associate director at Miller Homes East Midlands which is developing two, three and four bedroom houses at The Portlands, the site of the former Chesterfield Panthers Rugby Club, said: “Since opening the sales centre we have had a phenomenal level of interest in the new development, reflecting the increasing buoyancy in the market.”

Miller Homes is averaging one sale a week at The Portlands, with all properties having been purchased off plan ahead of the showhomes being opened.

To further reinvigorate the local housing market, Chesterfield Borough Council recently put in place a Local Authority Mortgage Support Scheme to help first time buyers in Chesterfield get their foot on the property ladder.

Councillor John Burrows, Leader of Chesterfield Borough Council and Vice Chair of Destination Chesterfield, said: “We are currently seeing significant investment in housing. Chesterfield is on the up and we have made significant investment to attract people to the borough. The town offers good transport links and a friendly, safe environment which is popular with families, many of which choose to locate here thanks to our variety and wealth of affordable housing, good schools and opportunity.

The variety and affordability of housing in Chesterfield has been a contributory factor in attracting a number of investors and employers, including Debenhams and TK Maxx in the town centre and Ready Egg, Squadron Medical and Andrew Page Limited at its 200 acre commercial park, on the M1, Markham Vale.

Earlier this year *research by the National Housing Federation found that 73% of East Midlands employers agree that

building more homes would stimulate the local economy and bring in more business and customers.

The buoyant housing market has resulted in a great pool of talent for all types of business, from world leading specialist manufacturers and multi-national communications companies to retailers and distributors.

Keen to support residents, investors and local business, the council has put in place a Local Plan which identifies the number of new homes it will need over the next 20 years. John Burrows added: “The current new build developments will go a long way to provide the homes we need for the people we expect to see living and working here, supporting business who choose to invest here by providing a ready pool of employees.”

John Burrows, added: “We could have chosen to bunker down and ride out the recession, but we didn’t. We chose to be proactive and forge ahead with our marketing plans and this shows in the recent employment, tourism and retail figures.”

Since launching the town’s marketing campaign in September 2010, against the backdrop of a cool financial climate, Chesterfield has shown growth across the board and bucked the national trend for declining high streets with unemployment decreasing by 0.5% during this time.

Funding for Destination Chesterfield has been secured from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Chesterfield Borough Council and the local business community until December 2015, ensuring the marketing campaign’s on-going success.
