Below is this month’s Newsletter, which will be winging it’s way to you very soon. All the usual news and information, but there is also a new, potential option for the redevelopment of the Aida factory on City Road. We’ve now got permission to share the promo video, so do please have a look. Comments welcome!

The community centre will have a family Quiz night on Friday 5th April, which is always a good night. The last quiz was very popular, so do come along. Children welcome, and rounds for all ages!

Also, do save the date for Chester Green Event Teams 2nd annual fashion show (all proceeds going to this year’s Picnic on the Green event)! It was a great event last year, and will be on Friday 3rd May, 2019

Below is the February newsletter from the Residents Association. Lots of useful information, as always, and note there’s a quiz night and a family disco at the Community Centre in February. Do note the car parking charge letters that have been sent out in error, by the council (parking permits are STILL FREE in Chester Green!).

Well, it’s the month of Christmas, so here’s everything that’s going on in Chester Green over the festive period!  I’ve also attached the November newsletter, as I forgot last month!

We’ve got the excellent XMas window trail, where over 50 windows are taking part.  Spot the XMas pudding to be put into a draw to win a prize draw.

There’s the Christingle service on Sunday 2nd December at 4pm (St Paul’s) and the excellent Carol service (with live brass band….not to be missed!) on 16th December at 7pm.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church also have a Carol Service on 14th December at 6.30pm.

Lots of other news and info, attached below!

Below is this month’s newsletter….and what an exciting month October is going to be!

6th October, there’s a circus skills workshop at the Community Centre with the awesome Chango Fuego (https://www.changofuego.com/)  This is not to be missed and will be great fun for all ages!

There’s also a quiz night on the 12th, and the now infamous Halloween Disco on 27th.

Sunday October 7th is your last chance to visit the Little Chester Heritage Centre (open 2pm – 4pm at St. Paul’s Church).  If you’ve never been, do pop in and have a look!  It’ll be closed after this until April!

The big news this month is that the Council are planning on developing the former Aida Bliss factory site themselves.  Their current plan is to develop predominately Council/Social Housing on the site with none, or very view, available for private sale…..  (we’ve had an introductory meeting with Ian Fullagar, Head of Strategic Housing for Derby City Council and Chris Morgan, Principal Regeneration Manager).  However, they are about to start ‘consultation’ with local residents and groups.  Plenty are currently airing their views on the Facebook page….do come in and get involved (or leave comments on this website)!  We’re currently in discussions with the council regarding how the official consultation will be carried out, and also exactly what their plans will be….so watch this space!  More details when we have them.  https://www.facebook.com/LittleChesterResidentsAssociation/
