About the Elton Echo
The ‘Elton Echo’ is the Parish quarterly newsletter. It contains news, information and notices relating to Elton and neighbouring Gratton.
Village residents, clubs and organisations are invited to publish their news, views, stories and diary events in the newsletter.
The Elton Echo is also available for advertising businesses and items for sale. It is delivered free of charge to all households in Elton and Gratton.
Important Reminder – Annual Supply of Caddy Liners and Sacks
Food Caddy Liner
The annual delivery of free food caddy liners has started to all 34,000 homes in the Derbyshire Dales.
This is being undertaken by a dedicated team – not bin collection crews – and the deliveries will take around three weeks to complete.
Residents in Elton, Gratton and Winster should have already received their annual supply of food caddy liners and, for those on the sack scheme, the annual supply of black and compostable sacks. If you have not, please contact the District Council straightaway on 01629 761100. Anybody who has not had delivery of their liners and sacks must report it by 31 July – otherwise charges will apply after this date.
Anyone who currently uses black sacks for household waste and hasn’t yet subscribed to the compostable sacks scheme for garden waste can complete the online form at or call the Helpline number above.
