A statement from the Leader of Derby City Council, Councillor Nadine Peatfield:
Derby City Council remains committed to close collaboration with Derbyshire County Council in areas where our joint efforts can drive strategic economic development across our area and secure the best possible outcomes for the people we serve.
We anticipate working in partnership on significant issues, such as Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the Derby and Derbyshire Waste Treatment Centre and working closely with Derbyshire and the other constituent authorities of East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA).
It is important for the region that we continue to collaborate, and I look forward to hearing from the new Leader in due course on these and other matters.
