Here's today's Derbyshire Times Video Bulletin.
00:03
Derbyshire County Council's Cabinet has agreed to introduce a raft of cutbacks and money-saving changes in four key areas
00:10
involving care home closures, cuts to learning disability services, community group funding and tighter criteria for home support eligibility.
00:18
The Conservative-led Council agreed to approve the redesign of elderly care services,
00:23
with the closure of eight care homes and five day centres for the elderly,
00:27
under refreshed proposals after studying the reaction to public reaction from over 1,700 respondents in a consultation.
00:35
Following further consultation, the Council's Cabinet also approved to discontinue four day opportunity centres
00:41
and four short-break residential units for adults with learning difficulties or autism,
00:45
and to withdraw discretionary funding for 50 voluntary and community groups.
00:50
They also agreed to introduce tighter eligibility criteria for its Derbyshire Healthy Homes project service.
00:56
A spokesperson for the Derbyshire group said,
00:59
Poor government settlements, inflation, along with soaring post-Covid demand for social care, particularly in older people's care at home,
01:06
a growth in working-age adults requiring social care, as well as in children's social care provision and special needs,
01:12
has left councils throughout the country needing to reassess almost everything they do.
01:19
A new banking hub has been proposed for a Derbyshire town, in premises formerly occupied by a bank.
01:25
Planning applications have been submitted to Bolsover District Council,
01:29
seeking permission for new shop frontage, air conditioning and signage at 102-104 Market Street in Shirebrook.
01:36
The building was occupied by Lloyds Bank until May this year, when the branch closed down after reaching the end of its lease.
01:42
The proposal, by Cash Access UK Ltd, is to alter the ground floor of the building to create a banking hub.
01:48
The first and second floor will be part of the hub, but unoccupied.
01:51
Existing ATM machines will be removed and windows installed.
01:55
Cash Access UK Ltd is a not-for-profit company set up by banks and building societies
02:00
to enable customers to withdraw cash, make deposits and access basic banking services.
