While there is a lot to be proud of in Chesterfield, no town is perfect, and residents have been coming up with their ideas to help improve the area.
We received a wide range of responses, focusing on everything from Chesterfield’s historic market and parking charges, to tourism and town centre safety.
Here are 16 of the changes our readers want to see made in Chesterfield – do you agree with them?
1. Better bus services

2. Free parking
Danny Payne: “Free parking within the town is essential for the sustainability of the town centre. Vibrant town centres I have visited like Marlow and Harrogate embrace free 1hr parking within the actual centre.” Photo: Brian Eyre
3. Problems with cobbles
Peter Pop Wilson said: “Removal of the cobbles.” Photo: Brian Eyre
4. Disused buildings
Bridget Farrell said: “Too many empty historical buildings for example there are two near the train station/college. Why build all new buildings that are sitting empty when there is so much history in the town that's not being preserved just being left to rot.” Photo: Brian Eyre
