Paging Cllr Slack (Hasland Ward)

[therealjr]

How come there are no signs marking the borough boundary coming in from Grassmoor or Winsick?

I grew up at Grassmoor if you walked down Grass Hill down to the roundabout follow the road into Churchside. On your left is a large cemetery go pass this and a large house set back from the road pass a field staying on this side before entering Hasland is or was a sign marking the boundary of North East Derbyshire and Chesterfield on the sign it had a coat of arms possibly a view of the Spire. It was in a bit of a state I think it said ' Welcome to Chesterfield 'on it. Winsick hamlet has no such sign and never has. Grassmoor and Winsick are part of North East Derbyshire area but Slacker will have to confirm that. There is a sight slope into Hasland from Winsick that could possibly be the boundary.

Some boundaries pass along the centre of the feeder roads therefore in terms of housing one side of the road reaches the boundary before the other. I couldn't therefore tell you where the correct place for a sign should be, they are usually placed where they are most visible without causing obstruction or distraction from a safety signs. Going by my work area (in NEDDC) doesn't help as my boundary on each road is the mini roundabouts which are well outside Chesterfield.
JR is right about the one coming from Winsick not being there, the one from Grassmoor is there but needs replacing.
Not sure why we missed out on Destination Chesterfield signs, must look into that.
