On Sunday, our Mayor, Cllr Emma Monkman, had the great honour to lay a wreath in the Belper Memorial Gardens to commemorate Remembrance Day 2020. Due to the current restrictions we weren't able to hold the normal service and parade, but were happy to see our Mayor able to make this gesture.

SERVICE CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MONTHLY MARKET

Background

The Council runs a monthly market on the second Saturday of each month on the Market Place however under the current Covid-19 pandemic the stalls are set out on two sites. The additional site will vary between the Memorial Gardens on King Street and the Coppice car park adjacent to the Market Place depending on the season. The Council owns all of the market equipment.

An opportunity has arisen for a contractor to erect canopies on 26 stalls before 7am on the market day and at 3pm remove all of the stalls and equipment and store away in the Council's depot. From April until September inclusively the Council intends to run a craft market on the Sunday after the regular market. This would mean that the pattern of work will differ for these months. The stall canopies will need to be erected and dismantled on the Saturday with the stalls remaining erect.

Belper's Bouncing Back

We live in a great community with chain and independent shops, fun events and great leisure facilities. There are many organisations and businesses who make living here so fulfilling. Spending the last few weeks under lockdown has touched all our lives and left many of those organisations and businesses struggling to flourish or even survive. Many working families have faced financial hardships with earnings lost, reduced or deferred.

At Belper Town Council we are launching Belper's Bouncing Back, a committed campaign to help Belper and Milford get back on it's feet, recover and then move on to even bigger and better times.

The health of our community is still our number one concern and we urge everyone to follow the recommended guidelines even though we are all feeling frustrated at the restrictions in our daily lives. However as our community begins to open up, we will be here to help Belper and Milford recover it's vibrant soul and beating heart.

Local Government rules mean we cannot directly give financial support to businesses and individuals. What we can do provide grants to non-profit organisations like the Citizens Advice Bureau and the Food Bank, help with national and regional grants, signpost services and promote our community.

We are only a Town Council but we pledge to help our community recover, help protect our organisations, businesses, families, employees and the unemployed and promote Belper and Milford as a place to live, shop and enjoy yourself.
