00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03Dozens of firefighters battled a huge fire in a field close to Bolsover over the weekend.
00:08Emergency services were caught at the site between Hillstown and Scarcliffe yesterday.
00:14Witnesses described large flames once much of the field well alight, and several appliances tackling the blaze.
00:20At this stage, the cause of the fire is not known.
00:23However, in recent months, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued safety advice following several wildfires in the county.
00:30The hot, dry weather increases the risk of wildfires, and fire crews in the Peak District have already been called out to 20 fires in the National Park so far this year.
00:40A pub in North Derbyshire is set for demolition under an application seeking planning permission for a new cafe.
00:47Brimmington Property Limited wants to knock down the three horseshoes at High Street Brimmington and create a drive-thru cafe, creating 15 full-time equivalent jobs.
00:56A statement to Chesterfield Borough Council, in support of the application, said the proposal includes widening the entrance and exit and relocating the existing traffic lights further away from the junction.
01:07This aims to provide a clear view of the road and traffic lights, which would be essential to ensure the safety of customers and pedestrians exiting the site.
01:16However, the proposal has already sparked some concern from local residents regarding the impact on traffic, with work underway already to build a new Aldi Superstore across the road from the Three Horseshoes pub site.
