Background
History
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the area of three former districts, which were all abolished at the same time: The new district was named Bolsover, after its largest town.
Architecture
Following the September 2022 commercial failure of Woodhead Construction Ltd, an Edwinstowe-based business contracting to the council since 2016, Bolsover District Council created their own development business, Dragonfly Development Limited based at The Arc in Clowne, with the intention of fulfilling ongoing contracts and having potential to undertake entirely new construction and development works outside of the council's normal remit. Councillor Fritchley stated the only risks involved were "calculated risks".
