We'd love to receive a few more responses to our parks and open spaces survey, which will close at the end of September. Please scan the code or click the link in the text. Many thanks

Do you love New Mills’ Parks and Open Spaces?

What might make them better for everyone?

Please fill in the very short survey here - https://tinyurl.com/NMTC-POSWG-Survey
More answers means more people care and more chance of finding funding to make your ideas happen!

Part of the research for New Mills Town Council Parks and Open Spaces Five Year Plan.
New Mills Town Council is working with residents, community groups and businesses to create a fresh, Five-Year Plan for its parks and open spaces; a plan made by the people who live here, a plan for our visitors, a plan that is fit for our future.
We need the whole community to shape what this plan will look like. Once completed the plan will help us to find the funding to realise our ideas and aspirations.

POLITE NOTICE

Due to the recent (and glorious!) weather, the Council has made the difficult decision to temporarily pause the operation of the High Lea Park fountain.

This is to play our part in conserving the much needed water levels in our lovely peaks.

The fountain will resume its duty as soon as possible :)

POLITE NOTICE

Thank you to everyone who has contacted the Town Hall to raise their concerns regarding the noise levels of the recently repaired Town Hall clock.

Due to the historic mechanism that operates the clock and its chimes, unfortunately it is not possible to programme or reschedule the bells to ring at different times or to silence them during particular hours.

🎨✨ Something a little special at the café! ✨🎨

We’re delighted to have a selection of paintings by Brian Nolan displayed around the café at High Lea Hall. 🖼️

The paintings are hung throughout the café and museum, so you can enjoy Brian’s artwork while relaxing with a coffee, a bite to eat and taking in the beautiful surroundings of High Lea Hall. ☕🍰🌿

The paintings will be on display from 28th July until 14th September 2026, and the café is open every day from 11am–4pm.

Why not pop in, grab a cuppa and have a look around? 💛
