Ashbourne Reborn

Directions Website

Ashbourne Reborn In January 2023, central government approved a Levelling Up Fund (LUF) bid designed to transform Ashbourne town centre.

The latest news and information about Ashbourne Reborn, the £15m transformation of Ashbourne town centre, including £13.4m central government funding PLUS £1.8m matched funding raised locally. The total programme will cost £15.2m of which LUF is contributing £13.4m. The difference of £1.8m is made up of match funding raised locally, including significant funds raised from Ashbourne Methodist Church members, friends and grants, as well as grant giving organisations and local businesses. The exciting programme – named "Ashbourne Reborn" is led by Derbyshire Dales District Council working with Derbyshire County Council and Ashbourne Methodist Church as key delivery partners, in collaboration with Ashbourne Town Team, Ashbourne Town Council and AshCom who brought forward project ideas, identified opportunities and raised match-funding for the bid. Derbyshire Dales District Council will be responsible for overall programme management and the programme is made up of two projects. The first, led by the County Council, will transform a series of public spaces including Market Place, Victoria Square, Millennium Square and Shrovetide Walk while works to the road network through the town centre will help transform the pedestrian experience in Ashbourne. The second project, led by Ashbourne Methodist Church, will transform the existing church buildings on the corner of Church Street and Station Road into a community hub, creating space for a wide range of community uses and events. Residents, businesses and visitors can expect to see work starting on the ground from summer 2024. Work is expected to finish by autumn 2025 and will be carefully managed to reduce disruption as much as possible.

SURVEY CLOSES THIS WEEKEND - FINAL CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY
The Ashbourne town centre survey is closing this weekend. The surveys are required by central government as a condition of the Ashbourne Reborn funding and the District Council have appointed independent research organisation People and Places Insight to carry them out. People and Places Insight first carried out baseline surveys back in autumn 2024 before work began. They are being repeated now that the scheme is complete so that the answers can be compared over time. The results will help measure the impact of the Ashbourne Reborn transformation programme, which aims to bring back vibrancy, vitality and economic prosperity to the town centre.

We would like to hear from anyone that goes to Ashbourne town centre, including residents and other visitors. If you don’t get the chance to fill out the survey face-to-face you can still share your opinions using the Ashbourne Town Centre Survey 2026 online: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Ashbourne26

As well as field workers carrying out face to face surveys in the town centre, the online survey will be open until 18 October. You can also pick up paper copies from Historical Centre in the Town Hall, or from Link Centre Ashbourne on Station Road.
