Developing a recovery plan for Chesterfield, Derbyshire and the East Midlands
Thank you to everyone who attended the June Champions Event.
Special thanks to our speakers Jo Dilley (Marketing Peak District & Derbyshire), Scott Knowles (East Midlands Chamber), Cllr Tricia Gilby (Chesterfield Borough Council) and Dom Stevens (Destination Chesterfield). They provided a wealth of information about the recovery plans in place across the region at a town and regional level.

It was also great to see our Champions talk about ways they have adapted to change, how they are supporting local and what has made them smile during the lockdown period.

How do we encourage more people and businesses to shop and trade locally?
Now more than ever, we need to support Chesterfield and North Derbyshire to strengthen the local economy.
At this Zoom event, there will be a panel discussion around the benefits of supporting local, including current activity and ideas for the future. The discussion will be led by Dom Stevens from Destination Chesterfield, with delegates attending also invited to ask questions. Panel to be announced shortly.
The Destination Team is also looking forward to officially announcing the finalists for this year’s Chesterfield High Street Awards at the event.
