Amber Valley Borough Council is committed to being open and transparent about how we work, our decision-making processes and the services we provide.
We have used the local government transparency code, which recommends the data sets councils should make available as a minimum, as a starting point for deciding what information we should make available.
The data on this page is published under the open government license and is available for you to re-use as you like, including for commercial and research activities.
