Morton has many notable trees – see the full article for details. Many of these trees were planted a long time ago and have been part of our village for generations. It’s important that we plant trees for the benefit of future generations so on the afternoon of 11th November around 20 volunteers planted 105 trees provided free of charge by the Woodland Trust as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, including one sapling from a Royal Estate. It was very disappointing to those of us working to improve our village to see over 60 of these trees stolen or destroyed within the first 7 days after planting.
Maintenance work has been carried out on the War Memorial – the memorial has been cleaned of the green algae and moss, the railings painted and the flag stones re-pointed. This work was completed just in time for Remembrance Sunday.

Police in Derbyshire are urging the public to be on their guard against burglars as the dark winter nights draw in. There is usually a seasonal spike in house burglaries at this time of year as opportunist thieves take advantage of the dark nights to target homes.
Police are reminding residents to keep their valuables out of sight following a number of car thefts. There have been more than 30 thefts from vehicles throughout the area since the start of October, which includes the districts of North East Derbyshire, Bolsover, Chesterfield and Amber Valley.
Local police officers would like to remind residents to consider home security when heading off for an autumn break. Burglaries at properties left unoccupied whilst the owners are away have increased recently. If you are going away for any length of time please consider how your house appears to an opportunist thief. Try to make your home look occupied so it isn’t an easy target.
In recognition that Morton has so many trees that were planted to commemorate different occasions, a new section has been added to the website.
New photos have been added to the Allotments page on the website.
