I’m grateful to the emergency services for their swift response and ongoing work and would urge anyone with relevant information to contact the police.

I’m deeply concerned by the incident that took place in Derby city centre last night and my thoughts are with all who have been injured or affected.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Mayor’s Big Transport Conversation. We have closed the survey with an incredible 5,921 responses. Your feedback will play a vital role in working towards a transport system that is better connected and works for everyone.

I’ve been in Derby today at @AlstomUK seeing first-hand the new refurbished @CrossCountryUK Voyager fleet 🚆 This visit was a great example of the skills and expertise we have here in Derby. I look forward to passengers in our region benefiting from these refurbishments!

Today I stepped into a piece of history at @BuxtonOpHouse 🎭 At the heart of the town’s cultural life, the Opera House shows how protecting heritage venues such as this helps keeps our visitor economy thriving. Definitely one to add to your Buxton to-do list ✨

Thank you to The Bolsover School and Redhill Academy Trust for an insightful visit yesterday. It was wonderful to hear more about the plans for the new North Derbyshire University Academy, opening up better access to local post‑16 education and future opportunities.

🚨Not long now!🚨

Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the submission of planning applications for the redevelopment of the City Ground. Our home for over 120 years will see a significant investment made by our owner, Evangelos Marinakis, to deliver a sustainable and iconic design which increases the stadium’s capacity to over 50,000. The redevelopment will be an integral part of the economic growth of the city and the wider region. The Club is grateful for the positive public engagement and overwhelming support shown for our proposals ahead of the planning submission. We would also like to thank to our key partners, Gleeds, KSS Design Group, Buro Happold, and Savills for their support to date. We look forward to working with the Mayor of the East Midlands, Rushcliffe Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council, as well as our supporters and the wider community, to achieve a successful outcome in the near future.
