Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03
The new council for the East Midlands has a spending budget of £160 million, seven
00:09
times more than last year.
00:11
As it looks ahead to its first full financial year with an elected mayor, the East Midlands
00:16
Combined County Authority is setting a £622.5 million spending budget, up from £20.5 million
00:23
it had last year.
00:25
The increase is due to the authority now receiving significant devolved funding from the government
00:30
to carry out responsibilities including transport, brownfield land development and adult skills.
00:36
One of the big developments at the Combined Authority this year will be the adoption of
00:40
public transport responsibilities to be taken from Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire County
00:45
Councils as well as Derby and Nottingham City Councils.
00:48
This is due to take place in October.
00:51
Ahead of this move the authority is set to receive £40 million in bus service improvement
00:56
funding that would previously have gone to the county and city councils.
01:00
Alongside this, the Combined Authority is getting £66 million from the City Region
01:05
Sustainable Travel Settlement for funding major transport projects, with projects to
01:10
be earmarked later in March.
01:13
All in all, the authority claims that the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire area is set
01:17
to see £120 million more in funding than if the Combined Authority had not existed.
01:25
Dog owners will have the exclusive use of a field in North Derbyshire to exercise their
01:29
pets off the lead.
01:31
John Elliott of Vicarage Close in Heath has been granted permission to change the use
01:36
of agricultural land south of Moor Farm Cottage in Calo to a secure dog walking field.
01:42
In a statement to North East Derbyshire District Council, they said the dog walk field provides
01:46
private households and professional dog walkers with an exclusive safe and secure recreational
01:52
space to let their dogs off the lead without fear of poor recall, attacks on livestock
01:57
or mixing with other dogs.
01:59
Hailed as a useful facility for dog owners who have mobility issues or young children,
02:04
the field would also offer a safe space for anxious dogs, service dogs or dogs with behavioural
02:09
issues.
02:10
6 dogs will be allowed in the field at any one time, and the field will be available
02:14
to rent for 50 minute sessions during daylight hours from 6am to 10pm, including weekends
02:20
and bank holidays.
