There are 23 policies in the NP on which to comment . We don’t apologise for that ,  we gathered the public views and co-ordinated them with the policy requirements knowing  Belper is a complicated , beautiful place , which is why we have tried to get it right for now and the future.

Report from Belper Goes Green

The Plan for Belper team are greatly encouraged following a very successful weekend at Belper Goes Green. We were able to talk with many people, explaining to those new to NP4B what it is we are doing and also to give an update on progress to those who have already contributed their ideas or attended one or more of our meetings.

The NP4B Sunday team at Belper Goes Green 2016

The team has also been re-invigorated with some new recruits who will be needed to assimilate the many ideas and comments that we gained over the weekend. Now it's back to the grindstone.

We will be finalising our upcoming meeting dates and venues .......... hopefully by the end of this week. We will also be publishing our newsletter (distributed by email to those who have signed up) and posting here more of our interim reports on our topics.

Finally ........... a big thank you to all who took the time to talk with us over the weekend. The interest shown in the project is most heartening.

Oh ........... nearly forgot ........... thank you to the Transition Belper folk for their hard work putting on this wonderful event. Belper Goes Green has grown into a not to be missed festival and we at NP4B are very grateful for being allowed to attend.
