The turnaround times have been tight and while there are still areas which need fully resolving, the bulk of the new structure is largely embedded, the relevant risks assessed, and we are now in a strong position to move forward.”

Labour already plotting Amber Valley comebackpublished at 11:25 British Summer Time 4 May 2018

Local Democracy ReporterLabour's leader in Amber Valley has expressed his disappointment at the outcome of the election, but says he remains optimistic about his party's chances next year.
The Conservatives took three seats from Labour to retain control of the borough council.
Councillor Chris Emmas-Williams, who represents Codnor and Waingroves, said next year's election will feature 14 seats held by the Conservatives and just one held by Labour, which he feels gives them scope for a comeback.
He said: "It's a really gutting result. I am very disappointed. I thought that the electorate would see that we had put forward a solid plan for the future and good proposals, but clearly they don't think so.
"It was always going to be difficult, but we'll be back next year to take control, definitely."
