00:00 Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03 More than 350 lorries a week are set to visit a wood processing plant in the countryside
00:08 on the outskirts of Chesterfield, despite concerns over noise, dust and traffic.
00:13 The Prans, from Silver Recycling Ltd, would see a wood processing plant set up on land
00:18 off Mansfield Road in Corbriggs, a few miles south-east of Chesterfield.
00:23 Derbyshire County Council planning officials are recommending that the plans are approved
00:26 at a meeting next week, in the face of opposition from North East Derbyshire District Council
00:30 and residents living nearby.
00:33 If approved, the plant would recycle 750,000 tonnes of waste products each year and would
00:38 turn it into wood chips to be used for wood panelling, along with other uses.
00:43 The bid will be determined by a County Council planning meeting next week.
00:48 The owner of a Derbyshire Wildlife Rescue Centre has called on people not to dump their
00:52 pets after saving two guinea pigs that were found abandoned in the Peak District and left
00:56 with just a piece of pizza to survive on.
00:59 Kirsty Ackroyd runs Ashfield's Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre at Ashford-in-the-Water,
01:04 a wildlife rescue centre which specialises in hedgehogs and garden birds.
01:08 She was called into action after two guinea pigs were found being abandoned on Peak District
01:13 Moor and left with just a slice of pizza to survive on.
01:16 Kirsty said it was fortunate the guinea pigs were rescued where they were, as they would
01:20 not have survived overnight.
01:22 She said that she's had several enquiries from people wanting to adopt the rescued guinea
01:26 pigs, but said that she had decided to look after the pets herself.
