Autumn time again in Six Streets and with the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness comes fallen leaves and crab apples on some of our streets, which soon turn to mush. Some streets are worse than others, depending on the trees.
Wheeldon Avenue residents met with Derby City Council Street Pride this year to agree a joint plan to keep our streets free of decaying vegetation and drains able to drain rainwater away.
Street Pride will give us a rota of their visits – for when the rotating brush machine comes, or manual litter pickers, or when the drain clearance wagon is due a scheduled visit (once every 2 years), we can speak to residents and ask if some cars could be moved from over the drains. Street Pride will also supply us with bin bags every month so if we rake and bag up any leaves/apples and they will collect them the next week.
Some residents would like to meet to do this with neighbours – it was proposed 1st day of every month Sept to March and the 1st Saturday of every month too, anytime between 10 – 11.30am then retire for a coffee in Point Six for those who want to.
Six Streets have applied for Darley Neighbourhood Board funding for large sweeping brushes, leaf grabbers, large dustpans/brushes, available for loan from 112 Kedleston Road and the bin bags will be available by the bins in the front garden.

Six Streets Walking Group
Six Streets Walking Group – Wednesday 23rd September, 2026 - Willington Lakes
This is a 4 mile walk through Willington Lakes Nature Reserve and back to Willington along the Trent and Mersey Canal towpath. The walk is level but can be a bit muddy after rain. There are gates and several bird hides which are well worth going into with binoculars if you have them.
A herd of young cattle were present when it was pre-walked, they were curious in one field but were well behaved.
As usual we will meet from 10.20 for 10.35 departure outside 75 Wheeldon Avenue. Well behaved dogs on a lead always welcome!
Feel free to bring a drink/snack with you, but there are cafes or pubs in Willington for refreshments after the walk.
Please message Sue at suegj@mac.com if you are planning to join us or thinking about it, or would like to join the
WhatsApp Group.
Looking forward to seeing you 😀

Share the Harvest Project Launch
🎬 Short Film Premiere by @bensherwoodphotography
Since 2023 something powerful has been growing in Derby.
An empty shop has been transformed into a community hub and a spare office into a crowdfunded kitchen.
Derby’s first Community Fridge was filled with a new Electric-Cargo bike to move surplus food.
Led by volunteers, rooted in partnership with local allotments, changemakers & business.
This last year over 5 tonnes of fresh fruit & veg was saved, together feeding & growing a village.
Ben's film offers an inspiring insight into the people, places and practices behind TMV’s impact.
Also on the day:
🎬 Q & A with Ben Sherwood
✨ 2026 vision and invitation
💬 Open chat & community co-design
🍲 Vegan fuddle & feast
🌱 Seed swap & sow
As the health, climate, isolation and cost-of-living crises deepen, Thrivemind Village are choosing solutions rooted in good resilience, care and community.
