Darley Neighbourhood Board
Your local Neighbourhood Board is made up of local councillors, residents and representatives from community organisations and public services.
The board:
- leads on behalf of the whole neighbourhood
- agrees the priorities for the neighbourhood
- decides where delegated Council budgets are to be spent
- monitors performance
- influences decisions that reflect the views of local residents
- decides on the vision for your neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood Board received a budget from October 2019 and will receive a further budget from April 2020. This budget is to enable voluntary and community groups (Non Commercial) to apply for funding for projects/events, that will both benefit and enable the community and its residents. If you would be interested in putting together a funding application for consideration of the board, please complete the form at the link below:

Consultation on Parking and Traffic
For some time, a number of residents have been raising concerns regarding parking in the local area. A number have asked that a survey of residents is undertaken to gather views on the parking and traffic issues in the area and whether there is support for a permit parking scheme on your street.
Working in partnership with a group of residents on a number of streets in your Ward, we are undertaking this consultation to gather your views and experiences.
Local residents will be distributing surveys to relevant households over the next few weeks.
The areas we are surveying are as follows:
| Area | Start | End | Survey | Street |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceder Street area | Friday 25 October | Monday 18 November | Form |
Cedar Street |
| Cowley Street area | Friday 1 November | Monday 25 November | Zone area | Brookside Close Cowley Cowley Street Leyland Gardens Kedleston Road (part) Redshaw Street Tivoli Gardens Walter Walter Street Watson Street |
| Strutt's Park | Friday 8 November | Monday 2 December | Form | Arthur Street Belper Road Chevin Place Chevin Road Kingston Street Margeret Street Milford Street Otter Street Robin Road Ruskin Road South Drive |
| River Street | Friday 8 November | Monday 2 December | Form | Bath Street Buchanan Street River Street |
Residents have a number of options to return the survey.
- Return the completed form in the reply paid envelope provided
- hand your completed form to one of the resident contacts on your street
- Click on the link above relating to your area to complete the form and send the completed form to neighbourhoods@derby.gov.uk
The aim of the consultation is to identify the level and desire for parking restrictions in the area and the key concerns of local residents.
If you have any queries, please contact either neighbourhoods@derby.gov.uk or traffic.management@derby.gov.uk
