Public consultation over holiday park plans

The resort could create up to 500 jobs

A public consultation over plans to build a large family holiday park attraction in Derbyshire is set to be held.

US leisure operator Great Wolf Resorts wants to build a 500-bedroom hotel, indoor water park, conference facilities and varied leisure facilities on the outskirts of Clowne.

The attraction, which could create 750 jobs, would be built on land off the A619/Gapsick Lane junction.

A public consultation event is being held from 3pm on 9 September at Creswell Crags Museum.

The proposals also include mini-golf, mini-bowling, a ropes course, games arcade and a selection of restaurants, cafes and bars.

Bolsover District Council said the event will provide an opportunity for residents to share their views about the plans from Great Wolf Resorts, which operates 23 resorts across North America.
