No! - Not This Time
This page has been put together specifically by the people of the No! – Not This Time Campaign Group. Grassmoor's campaign group who successfully fought against Derbyshire County Council plans to build a 40,000 tonnes in-vessel composting facility, and the relocation of the Highways Depot to the village. This page documents the struggle on behalf of the Grassmoor people, Wingerworth people also campaigned against the plans .
Councillor Betty Hill, Grassmoor led a passionate and dedicated team who worked hard to maintain the welfare of Grassmoor villagers.
