Belper Civic ForumThe Civic Society of Belper and Milford in Derbyshire

The Civic Forum is organising a site visit to Mill Lane on Tuesady 13 July to view the impact of 75 proposed new homes on a green field area.  The visit, led by the Forum's Stephen Heathcote and Adrian Farmer begins at 7pm from the Coppice car park, and will attempt to view the site from various viewpoints.

The Civic Forum's Adrian Farmer has produced a superb quiz based on photos of historic shop frontages in Belper.  Can you identify these?  Forms are available from the Strutt Centre, Derby Road, and from the Forum's stalls at the River Gardens on 11 July and at the Food Festival on 18 July.  Forms need to be returned by 31 July.
