After receiving many wonderful donations from the Village, building works commenced on 3 March and are due to run on until September.
We still need to raise around £25,000.
Without these funds, we will not be able to properly finish the interior of the hall, we shall be without a kitchen, without a store room and without the intended landscaping around the hall.
If you have any contact with local businesses or know someone who can help with a donation in cash or in kind, please contact Steve Higgins on 734280.
Cheques and donations should be made out to “Egginton Parish Institute” and sent or delivered to:
Steve Higgins, Chair of Trustees,
The OLD BARN, 4 GRANGE COURT,
MAIN STREET, EGGINTON,
DERBY. DE65 6HR
With many thanks……
Anyone wishing to hire the Village Hall during this time please contact Kay Marples on 733134.

A new site 1 mile across with rubbish stacked 8 metres high is planned for Egginton Heath, next to the Biffs Composting Site. Further details can be obtained from any member of the Parish Council. Please write to:
Minerals and Waste Framework Team,
Environmental Services,Derbyshire County Council, Shand House, Dale Road South,
Matlock DE4 3RY
Heading - Waste Disposal DPD - Severn Trent landholding/ Etwall and Egginton Common
The principal issues are:
- Visual impact – huge site with 3 chimneys each 300ft high, with huge surrounding fence, a mile across with rubbish piled 8 metres high in flat open farmland.
- Pollution - smells, rats, flies, wind blown paper.
- HGV impact - 1,400 lorry movements per day. Proposed access off A38.
- Bird strike – impact of seagulls swamping the area, bird droppings, noise, damage to cars and aircraft.
- Flood risk – impervious membrane beneath, watering of rubbish to keep down dust will add to watter run off problems. Anything that adds to our flooding problems is extremely unwelcome.
- Effect on value of a large number of local properties – just guess !
