North East Derbyshire District Council Chair, Cllr Diana Ruff said, “It is an honour to be elected as Chair of North East Derbyshire District Council and I would like to congratulate Cllr Thacker on a fantastic year in office, raising an incredible amount of money for Ashgate Hospicecare”.

“I am looking forward to also helping raise funds, this time for SSAFA, who can sometimes be a forgotten charity, one which is close to my heart after my father was a serving member of the Royal Navy”.
