Dronfield Town Council
Who we are & what we do

Dronfield Town Council came into existence on 1st April 1974 as successor authority to the former Dronfield Urban District Council. The Town Council's offices were originally located at 25 High Street, a listed building near the Peel Monument, and are now to be found at the Civic Hall, Civic Centre, Dronfield. The offices were officially opened on 14th December 1999.

The Town Council's responsibilities include parks and open spaces, sports facilities, public halls, and allotments. Significant improvements were made to the all-weather, floodlit, multi-games area during 1995. Play areas in various locations in the town have been upgraded and safety surfaces installed in recent years. The four allotment sites in the town (Chiverton, Coal Aston, Farwater Lane and Snape Hill) provide some 130 plots with reasonable rents. The Town Council funds capital works on the allotments.

The Town Council administers bookings for the Civic Hall in the Civic Centre. Bookings are taken for the Main Hall, the Shaun Hadley Meeting Room and the Council Chamber. Bookings can also be taken for Gosforth Lodge at Cliffe Park. The Peel Centre (a former Methodist Church owned by a charitable trust and now run as a community centre) has several rooms for hire.

Meetings of the Town Council are held every month at the Civic Hall.

The Annual Town Meeting and the Annual Council Meeting are held annually on the second Monday in May.
