The continued regeneration of New Mills is now being managed in a new way as the changing regeneration landscape and the emergence of new Local Enterprise Partnerships, mean that the future of regeneration will be limited to key strategic projects, which have maximum impact for communities. It was therefore agreed that the Regeneration Partnership, first established in 2004 with support from the Market Town Initiative, would cease at the end of 2010.
In its place, the three Councils (Derbyshire County Council, High Peak Borough Council and New Mills Town Council) together with voluntary sector organisations, will meet twice a year to review challenges, opportunities and progress on agreed larger scale strategic projects if applicable.
When planning future projects, we still want your input. Please use this form to tell us if you have a bright idea to improve the appearance of New Mills Town Centre or to support the retention of local employment. Details of your idea will be passed to Town Council and Regeneration Managers for review and feedback.
Suggestions for improvements to the local environment or smaller scale ideas can also be made to the Town Council (External website**). Tel 01663 743434, email: admin@newmillstowncouncil.com. Office hours: 9.30am - 5.00pm Monday - Thursday and 9.00am - 4.30pm Friday.
Suggestions for larger scale strategic projects and for other issues relating to the economic regeneration of New Mills including business start-up or expansion, please contact High Peak Borough Council's Economic Development team on 0845 129 77 77 or 01298 28400 or email customer-services@highpeak.gov.uk.
New Mills Town Partnership was set up in 2004, with support from the Market Town Initiative, to develop and promote New Mills as an attractive and thriving town, offering a unique visitor experience. A part time officer supported the partnerships work until April 2007. Since then, the Town Council and Borough Council have been working directly with local groups to develop projects and fund physical enhancements - often supported by Conservation grants - and create initiatives to support the towns residents and retailers.
