Consultations
2025/26 EBC Budget Survey
Local Authorities (Councils) across Derbyshire and throughout the country have received their funding allocation from the Government and are now preparing and consulting on their budgets and Erewash are doing the same.
Delivering all the services residents want and expect with limited funding is becoming increasingly difficult and many Councils are struggling to set a budget. The Local Government Association have completed a survey and have reported that 1 in 4 Councils say they are likely to have to apply for emergency government bailout agreements to stave off bankruptcy in the next two financial years (2025/26 and 2026/27). Erewash is not in this position but the medium-term projections mean savings will need to be made.
This consultation contains some information about our budget and provides an opportunity for residents to provide feedback.
To take part in the consultation please complete this survey before 5.00pm 4th February 2025.
Council communication with residents and businesses/EBC partners
The council is keen to understand how both residents and businesses/EBC partners would like to be kept informed and has launched a consultation asking for their feedback to help develop their communications strategy.
Two surveys are available for completion before 5.00pm Monday 17 February 2025, please use the appropriate link below to access either the resident survey or the business/EBC partner survey.

PSPO Chalons Way Vehicle Based Activity - Survey now closed
Erewash Borough Council has been made aware of vehicle-based anti-social activity taking place in and around Ilkeston, including Chalon's Way. The anti-social behaviour being reported has been taking place over a number of months and has included:
- motorised vehicles gathering.
- high powered motorised vehicles, or those with non-standard fitted parts in the area.
- motorised vehicles being driven inappropriately, including performing stunts.
- motorised vehicles being driven in a way which causes a disturbance.
The evidence showed that the incidents being reported are having an ongoing detrimental impact on those who live locally or visit the area. In order to tackle this behaviour the council launched a consultation on a proposal to approve making a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014 to give the council and police additional powers.
The consultation is now closed, however, if you have any comments or questions these can be submitted to the Safer Communities and Partnership Team: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Have your say on town's walking and cycling - Survey now closed
People were asked for their views on how Ilkeston town has changed and how we can make it more pedestrian and cyclist friendly.
Sustrans is working with Erewash Borough Council to find out what stops people walking or cycling the short distances in and around Ilkeston town, and what might help them leave their cars at home for some of these trips.
Apart from the health benefits of walking, more short journeys taken by foot or by bike would help reduce congestion, pollution, and noise.
Their online survey is now closed, for more information please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
EBC Tracker Survey
These surveys ask general questions about Erewash Borough Council, the services it provides and their methods of communication. The same questions are used on a regular (quarterly) basis to allow the council to monitor and compare its performance over time.
Details of when the next Tracker Survey will be available for completion will be published here.
Derbyshire County Council
Derbyshire County Council (DCC) is committed to listening and learning from local people and provide important services to residents, visitors, employers and employees in the county and are always looking for ways to improve them.
Finding out what people think of the services DCC provide is essential because it helps the council to work out how to improve them and their commitment to consult ensures this will happen. Consultation is the process of informed communication between DCC and the users of their services prior to the council making a policy decision or determining changes to service delivery.
Details about current DCC consultations carried out in the past and those planned for the future can be found at Derbyshire County Council Have Your Say where you can read about the purpose of each consultation, find out who is being consulted and how to get involved.
