Market Place

[Old Cruser]

You're right in everything you say. Enough isn't being done.
Nice to see the entire bad section up from Smithy Pond towards Press Manor has been completely re-tarmaced.
Awaiting the section between Hillstown and Shirebrook to be done next. Fox Hill junction.

That stretch after BoleHill on the bends was awful.
I'm please that's been done it was dangerous

Walked down Packers row this morning and rounded onto Low Pavement. Me and the wife walked past the old Halifax towards Santander and the paving slabs are an utter disgrace..well more than that they are a deathtrap, they are really bad, however anyone hasn't slipped and broken something is beyond me {if it ends up being either me or the wife the council can get ready}
The bottom half of the market looks like work has ground to as halt, can't see any progress at all. As for the car park at the rear of the town hall loads of slabs are piled in there covering half the car park depriving the council of car parking fees, no wonder they keep putting the charges up.

We remarked on the paving slabs the last time we went into town. They are tripper Uppers aren't they??

Skeletal remains found in Chesterfield near Church way.........

Probably someone who was waiting for a bus

Called in town Friday I think there were just 5 stalls on the big market.
 Chesterfield was once a bustling market town, I don't care how much they spend doing it up it will never reach the amount of stallholders to warrant such extravagance.

Been this Friday and there were 8 stalls, not the bustling market town they are hoping to re-create far from it.

Noticed in last week's D.T. that there's a proposal to turn the old Eyres store into {yes you've guessed it} flats. As the item says, nowhere to park for residents traffic noise and wall to wall fighting and vomiting on weekends not somewhere I'd pick to live.

Only found out this week that {apparently} the Sandpiper hotel is being used to house immigrants, we will have to start looking for large dinghy's coming up the Rother and Hipper.

Turning into small shopping outlets would be better  Chesterfield as a shopping town has gone
