North East Derbyshire Priorities Survey

North East Derbyshire is a fantastic place to live- but working with your local Conservative representatives, we want to make it even better! That's why we have launched this survey - we want to hear your views about how we can make our District even better for the long-term.

North East Derbyshire District Council has achieved more in the past 4 years under the Conservatives than it ever did in the last 40 years under Labour. Whether it's fixing the mess we inherited on planning to tackle inappropriate development, redeveloping our leisure centres, securing millions of pounds of Government regeneration money or supporting the District through Covid and the cost of living crisis, there's so much we've achieved by working together.

But there's much more we want to do with your support in May's elections. Please use this survey to tell us about your priorities moving forward to help shape our plan for the next four years.

Thank you!
