I have lived in Grindleford since 2000, when we moved here from SW London. Our kids are now grown up, but we were parents at Grindleford School for a decade, and this has helped us put down deep roots here. I live just inside the village boundary on Sir William Hill Road, so I am happy to speak for Sir William or Bank Top Lane interests.
More widely, I would see the two main challenges for the village being (i) a cluster of environmental issues: how do we work to reduce carbon footprint, can we collectively work towards cleaner transport and energy, can we mitigate the effects of car use on the village, and can we address our disappointing levels of biodiversity (ii) promoting quality of life for young people, for whom growing up away from the city can have its downsides, and who in recent months have taken the biggest hit through Covid restrictions.
