Ashbourne: The Ultimate Derbyshire Destination
Little has changed in Ashbourne since the 18th Century and it is one of Derbyshire’s finest old market towns, combining a medieval street pattern and historic buildings with a wealth of high quality shops. The cobbled market place, hidden alleys and yards are a delight to explore, and the wide and elegant Church Street is considered to be the finest street of Georgian buildings in Derbyshire.

Ashbourne Park Project
Our first drop-in session was held at Ashbourne Leisure Centre on 23 November to obtain feedback on the suggested ideas for improving the Recreation Ground and to consider new ideas from the groups and the public and was successfully attended by over 60 people.
There was a great deal of discussion during the day and many new and innovative ideas were produced. In total 192 views were given and this has now been sifted to provide a base for further discussion that takes into account the themes emerging and the popularity of that idea.
There are 14 themes which have been identified which correspond closely with the original themed ideas. However, in many of these themes there are new and exciting ideas.
Our next meeting is to be held on Wednesday 25 January 2012 at the Ashbourne Leisure Centre at 4pm for all interested in joining as Friends of the Park and to make the ideas come into reality.
If you wish to be part of the project please contact Sarah Wolfe, Project Coordinator at Ashbourne Partnership, 5 Town Hall Yard, Market Place, Ashbourne, DE6 1EW. Email: ashbournepartnership@btconnect.com
