There were a number of street parties held in Chester Green to mark the Queen’s Jubilee.  One of which was featured in the Derby Telegraph!  See the story here 🙂

The party featured we think was attended by around 70 people and the rain managed to hold off for almost all of the day…..hooray.  We should do this every year…..oh wait…..we do (already looking for next year’s excuse!)

Over the last year the Residents Association has been managing a project for residents of Little Chester to be given plants to brighten the public view of our lovely area. The grant that was obtaind from the council has nearly been used up, but the good news is that there is still a little bit left.

The areas of Marcus Street, around the Community Centre, parts of Chester Green Road and Camp Street have all looked great. If you want to grow (sorry for the pun) on these great innitiatives, contact me and we’ll see what we can do with the money that is left.
