Help Belper to win Britain in Bloom
A PUBLIC meeting is due to be held tonight, February 22, to discuss how residents could help Belper win the prestigious Britain in Bloom title.
Help Belle find home
This is not Belle’s first appearance in Rescue Me as she’s been in Derby RSPCA Rescue Centre for over two months now. Community manager Karen Carter said: “She arrived with her eight puppies who have now all been adopted so it’s time for her to go to a new home. She doesn’t like other dogs or cats and she would be best re-homed with children over the age of 15. We believe she has had a difficult past but she does have a lovely temperament, which she shows once she gets to know you and trusts you.”
