Streetpride

Streetpride aims to work with Derby's communities and to involve them in improving their local environment.

Through Streetpride, we are giving communities more control over the appearance of their street and local environment, including some control over how and where money is spent. Streetpride focuses on the customer and will make a positive difference to the way customers interact with us and our street-based services.
