Heanor town centre is set to receive millions in funding.
A total of £8,592,837 from the Government s Future High Streets Fund (FHSF) has been allocated to Amber Valley Borough Council to give the town a new lease of life.
The FHSF is a £830 million Government fund to help regenerate town centres across the country as attractive places to live and work and respond to the shrinking demand for retail space.
Leader of Amber Valley Borough Council, councillor Chris Emmas-Williams, said the money could help provide enough change to secure the town’s long-term future.
He said: At a time when we desperately need something positive, this is fantastic news for Heanor and provides us with real optimism for the future of the town.
