What makes Chesterfield a place people want to spend time in, not just pass through?

In the latest video from our Chair, Andrew Byrne, we explore why Chesterfield’s unique mix of heritage, green space, independent businesses and cultural experiences continues to attract people from across the region.

🔹 Wandering through our historic market and meeting our friendly independent retailers.
🔹 Heading to a local festival, whether for cricket, creativity or even food and drink.
🔹 Stepping out into our green spaces and exploring the Peak District in no time.

Our town offers a mix of experiences that are difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Combined with ongoing investment in our town centres and public spaces, it’s helping create a place where people want to visit, stay longer and keep coming back.

Watch the latest video in our campaign series to learn more about our “A Place to Experience” campaign.

We love to see young people finding careers in their hometown ❤️

Now, after year one of the Construction Skills Hub in action, more young people are making that happen:

🔹 60 students engaged on the core programme
🔹 26 students progressing into employment

Yet while the numbers are impressive, the real experience had by these students is more important.

One of the students shared:
“Being based in the middle of a housing development gave me a real insight into the industry, and my tutor Shane was brilliant.
He showed me how important high standards are and helped build my confidence and problem-solving skills.

“Now I’ve started an apprenticeship and my journey in construction is just beginning.”

More paths are opening for young talent to start a career in Chesterfield. Could you support them by offering an apprenticeship or T Level?

7,800 jobs. 3,900 homes. £473 million added to the economy every year ⬅️

That’s the scale of the opportunity we were able to present at UKREiiF with the East Midlands Canal Corridor. One of our borough's key transformational opportunities connecting Chesterfield and Staveley through housing, employment, innovation and sustainable growth.

The Canal Corridor demonstrates what partnership-led regeneration can achieve, bringing together public and private sector ambition to create connected communities, unlock investment opportunities and support emerging clean energy and innovation sectors across our region.

It was fantastic sharing this at UKREiiF, with investors, developers and strategic partners from across the UK able to see Chesterfield’s long-term growth story.
