DIGGERS move in to signal the start of construction work on a new £5m state-of-the-art centralised Bolsover District Council depot at Doe Lea.
The new depot, sited alongside the A617, will replace existing sites at Bolsover and South Normanton and will be the base for all the council's grounds maintenance, refuse, housing repairs and street cleansing operations when it opens in April next year.
Coun Alan Tomlinson, cabinet member for regeneration, said: "We currently operate from two depot sites and this was beginning to become a strain on our finances due to ongoing repairs, but this brand new facility will provide us with a more cost-effective service and bring us into the 21st century."
Coun Ken Walker, council chairman, is pictured at the back, along with, from front left, Coun Alan Tomlinson, deputy council leader; Coun Eion Watts, council leader, and Julian Price, construction director for Ashford Construction.
