00:02 Peak District National Park Authority has confirmed final restructure plans including job cuts.

00:08 The Authority announced a series of transformation proposals earlier this year

00:12 to head off financial consents from frozen government grants and inflation.

00:17 Plans approved by the Authority's members on Friday will see six or seven redundancies,

00:23 a fraction of the number expected at the start of the process.

00:28 Plans for 81-bed care home at a former ironworks site in Claycross have been submitted to the Council.

00:35 If approved, the development is set to include a three-storey building

00:40 surrounded by trees, hedges, sensory garden and wildflower meadow.

00:45 Care home in Kilamash launched an unusual appeal as the management team hoped to open a pub for residents.

00:54 The staff have been contacting local pubs in a hope to get furniture and pubs to be fitted in the new venue.

01:00 Rachel Dixon, a deputy manager at Nevemuk Care Home said

01:04 "We have been looking at Facebook marketplace and we are trying to find any pubs that are refurbished

01:08 or have anything that they don't need anymore.

01:11 We would like our venue to look like a pub from the residence era, as opposed to buying new stuff."

01:16 The pub, which will open for residents and their families, will serve nibbles and drinks.

01:22 There will be soft and alcoholic drinks on the menu, including beers, but strong alcohols will not be served.

01:28 You can find all the stories featured in our bulletin and more on our website and Facebook page.
