Moor Lane Community Building Consultation

Have your say on the new community building at Moor Lane

Old Bolsover Town Council is planning a new community building at the Moor Lane sports ground. It will be home to local sports clubs and will offer space for activities, classes, events and services for everyone in Old Bolsover. Before we submit a planning application, we'd like to hear what you think of the design, layout and facilities.

The survey includes images of the proposed building and a floor plan, and takes about 10–15 minutes. Local groups, clubs and businesses interested in hiring space are also encouraged to take part.

🔧♻️ What can be fixed at a Repair Café?

From small electrical appliances, lamps and household items to bikes, toys, clothing and textiles, there’s a wide range of things that could be given a new lease of life rather than thrown away.

Whether it’s a faulty toaster, a wobbly chair, a broken zip or something that just doesn’t work as it should, our volunteer repairers are on hand to see if they can help.

Repair Cafés bring people together to share skills, learn new things and help reduce waste by keeping items in use for longer.

Before you throw it away, bring it along and give it a second chance!

📍 Where: Bainbridge Hall, Bolsover
📅 When: Saturday 31 October
⏰ Time: 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
