Derbyshire Dales District Council and Derbyshire County Council have suspended the majority of non-essential services to enable them to focus on priority services during the outbreak. Anybody needing to access services should call the relevant local authority rather than visit the offices in person.

 Charges will be temporarily suspended for off-street car parks operated by Derbyshire Dales District Council to help those needing to access essential services in our towns. Signs will be erected, however, reminding residents about the government guidelines about staying at home and not using this as an opportunity to park for free and walk around town.

Bin collections have been impacted by the virus. Staff absences due to self-isolation mean that garden waste collections will be suspended from Friday to enable crews to focus on collecting recycling and general household waste. Food was will be collected fortnightly – with household waste – rather than weekly.

Household recycling sites have been closed until further notice.

Derbyshire Dales District Council has taken the decision to ‘close’ parks, skate parks, tennis courts and play areas to prevent social gatherings. Some of these areas can be physically closed off, but other larger and open areas cannot be enforced. Public cooperation is, therefore, requested. Public toilets operated by the District Council will also be closed. Derbyshire County Council will be closing some of its country parks.

Weekly markets in our towns have been suspended until further notice.

Elton Parish Council will be working remotely during the outbreak and will not be meeting for the foreseeable future.

Elton Village Hall will not be available for use whilst government guidelines restrict social gatherings.
