hank you to all the stall holders who agreed to attend the Mini Market at the Zion Church on Chatsworth Road on Saturday 8 October. We raised £81.50 for Children's Hospices UK from the event. A special thanks also goes to the Church for letting us use the venue, to Sarah Hollingworth for liaising with me while organising the event and the following people/ companies for donating prizes for the raffle: Image & Colour Emporium, Pandora's Aromatics, Body Shop, Hair Heart & Soul, Serendipity Tea Parlour, Niche, Temple Spa, Mens Room, Matalan, Black Eyed Susan, Chesterfield Football Club, Real Ale Corner, Secret Kitchen & Pixies Treasures. Thank you to our customers too for supporting the event. I hope to organise another event next Spring so please keep your eyes peeled for details of this next year.

After the October heatwave… The council are looking for volunteer snow wardens, to help clear snow from footpaths and minor roads should we see a repeat of last year’s extreme weather! Despite reserving a stock of 250,000 tonnes of salt to treat the roads, if the conditions replicate last year they won’t be able to clear the minor roads ‐ so want to help you to help yourselves and look after our community. Snow wardens will be delivered a 1 tonne bag of salt to a pre agreed location, near where they live, so they can rally support of friends and neighbours to clear the non‐priority roads that the council just can’t get to. Snow wardens will be invited to attend a health and safety induction session (1 hour), sign a ‘fit to participate’ form and will be provided with a shovel, gloves and high visibility vest to keep them safe! Could you be a snow man or snow angel and help keep things moving on your street. If you’d like to volunteer, please contact Sam Sherlock, Emergency Planning Officer on 01246 345407 or via Email: sam.sherlock@chesterfield.gov.uk Page 62 • www.s40local.co.uk
