An Investment Zone may be coming to somewhere near you!
Derbyshire County Council is intending to submit proposals for Investment Zones in Derbyshire. We do not know where these are yet. We think that residents need to know a bit more about them before any final decision is made. An Investment Zone may have a very big impact on its locality and also on businesses elsewhere.

Some positive news
For once some positive news. The Free Movement Newsletter (3/10/22) notes that the European Court of Human Rights has handed down an important decision on age-assessment processes for asylum-seeking children. From now on, British and European age assessment policies must comply with international law requirements - even when these requirements have not been incorporated into domestic law. Also the High Court has reversed a decision to refuse entry clearance of an interpreter under the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy on national security grounds.
