50th Anniversary

South Derbyshire District Council will commemorate its 50th anniversary on 1 April 2024.

South Derbyshire District Council was officially formed on 1 April, 1974, as a result of the Local Government Act 1972. This significant moment marked the amalgamation of two former districts and a portion of a third, all of which were simultaneously abolished:

Repton Rural District
South East Derbyshire Rural District (part south of the River Derwent, with the remaining section incorporated into Erewash)
Swadlincote Urban District.

The newly established district was aptly named South Derbyshire, a reflection of its strategic position within the broader county. This merger brought together diverse communities, each contributing to the unique fabric of our district.

Celebratory plans

This 50-year milestone is no small feat, and we're in the process of putting together celebratory ideas and birthday plans that truly capture the essence of our vibrant community.
