As stated in Reform Derby’s leaflet before: London Road is in a terrible state and has needed a proper resurface for a long time now. As you may realise getting things in place takes also takes a long time. London Road is now on a priority as voted for by all the Reform Councillors. Once we have a date for you we will let you know.

Super-Fast Derby

, , , , , , ,

The internet is becoming an even more essential service, especially with more and more people working from home. For many years I have been a great believer that our broadband infrastructure needs improving as we are lagging behind many countries in Europe. We need to prove to multinationals and investors that Britain is a place to invest, with great infrastructure including super-fast broadband.

Super-fast broadband is now becoming a reality in Derby as CityFibre is deploying gigabit-capable full fibre network, which will reach almost every home and business in the city. Work is still ongoing in many areas in Derby and CityFibre has informed me that “[CityFibre] are building a new full fibre network in Derby and Alvaston is one of the first areas to benefit”

As many people are adopting new ways of working such as remote working, this is only possible with the correct tools including fast broadband. I remember working for an ISP when FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) was being rolled out and that was a game changer 8 years ago. This new rollout of FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) is great news for Alvaston and the city in the digital age. Another policy that we support as our manifesto said we will get Derby ready for the future by promoting and pushing for broadband fibre optics to homes.

Cllr. Graves angry at Alvaston Park toilets remaining shut

,

Reform Derby leader Councillor Alan Graves has said that the toilets at Alvaston Park remaining closed is “bad for businesses”.

Councillor Alan Graves who is a Alvaston Ward Councillor has said “This is how I feel about the council sometimes when they don’t want to do something they drag their feet and I believe this is what’s happening here.”

“I think it’s one of the major problems that the council has created for itself is that public toilets are an essential need.”

“We have to provide public toilets, there are a lot of people who struggle, they need to go to the toilet, it’s not just elderly people.”

He also added that “A lot of children need to go to the toilet when they’re at the park and can’t wait for an hour to go to the toilet. They have opened up a park that sells drink but there’s nowhere for customers to go for a wee.”

 

The Derby Telegraph has reported in their article that – A spokesperson for Derby City Council said: “We apologise for any inconvenience to our visitors at Alvaston Park.

“We’ve been working hard to ensure that our facilities can reopen as soon as possible and that enhanced cleaning is in place for the safety of our park users.

“Arrangements are currently being made and we hope to reopen the toilets early next week.”
