Research
We regularly collate data such as the types of businesses present in our town centres, footfall numbers and visitor trends to each town, to help inform the Council’s plans for future developments and improvements.
Financial support
Grant funding is available for businesses and landlords to improve their street facing commercial properties within the district of North East Derbyshire, especially those within our town centres and on our high streets.
Aimed at making our town centres and high streets more inviting and vibrant place for residents and visitors to enjoy, grants will be available from a minimum of £500 to a maximum of £10,000, a contribution of up to 75% of total project costs.
