Summer of Colour

We had storms and we had heatwaves – but it was certainly hot, hot, hot all the way with the floral displays that put the feelgood factor into Erewash over the summer.

Our award winning parks teams ensured the borough erupted into a blaze of colour with oranges, reds, yellows and blues all part of the island displays in Ilkeston and Long Eaton as well as in the hanging baskets that saw flowers cascading down.

The displays brought praise from residents who always appreciate the summer show – while the council remains committed to the importance of the wow factor that lifts the spirits of everyone.

Support for ASB

Anti-social behavior (ASB) is the target of a new countywide drive led by key partners.

Erewash Borough Council, Derbyshire County Council, Derbyshire Constabulary and Derbyshire Fire and Rescue are among those who have signed the ASB Help Pledge to show their commitment to tackling the issue. The partnership supported the UK’s first Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness week in the summer when Erewash CSP used its Facebook page to try to bring people and organisations together to tackle ASB. The posts covered many topics, including where to report ASB, what to do if you are a victim of ASB and what is and isn’t ASB.

There is also a new online ASB Hub to make it easier to find out how ASB can be tackled, who to report to and what support is available to you if you’re a victim, along with plenty of other resources.
