00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:03A plan to build a drive-thru coffee shop and two commercial units is being held as a pioneering project

00:08that could unlock the potential of Chesterfield's run-down Walton Works.

00:13An application seeking planning consent for land between 338 Chatsworth Road and Mill Lane

00:19has been submitted to Chesterfield Borough Council by Peppermint Grove Ltd.

00:23The proposal includes a new Starbucks coffee shop located directly in front of the Grade 2 listed Walton Works.

00:30The current tap house pub would be retained and a derelict building adjacent to the pub

00:35would be demolished to make space for the commercial units.

00:38A statement in support of the application said,

00:41The site has the capacity to serve as a catalyst for the future regeneration of the mill complex.

00:46A key opportunity lies in opening up and framing new views towards Walton Works,

00:52strengthening its visual presence and reinforcing its historic significance within the townscape.

01:00A gobsmacked Derbyshire mum is on cloud nine after landing half a million pounds on the People's Postcode Lottery.

01:07Catherine Heathcote, 61, says she feels like the luckiest person ever

01:11after bagging the lion's share of £1 million prize with three winning tickets.

01:16Now the mum of four will splash out on a family holiday to Texas in the USA,

01:20a new ensuite bathroom, and says she's also lining up a trip to Australia and Singapore.

01:25Catherine from Taddington said,

01:28It was such a shock. One cheque was nice, but three was amazing.

01:32I feel like I'm the luckiest person ever.

01:35I've seen the Postcode Lottery ads on television and thought about signing up,

01:38but when the leaflet came through my door, I took it as a sign it was my time to play.

01:43She and three other neighbours in the Peak District Village

01:45share the lottery's weekly £1 million street prize when their postcode was announced as the winner on Saturday.

01:51Each winning ticket was worth £166,000, but Catherine troubled her win by holding three tickets.

02:01Wow, thank you.

02:03I feel like the luckiest person ever, you know.

02:13One was nice. Well, three was amazing.

02:16It means I can treat my children, take them on a holiday.

02:20We like country music.

02:21We've never been to Texas, and I'd like to go to Texas, I think.

02:25It's nice for anyone who wins the Postcode Lottery, it's nice,

02:28but it's nice to know some of my neighbours are going to win too.

02:30I'd like everyone else to be as lucky as me.

02:33I think all the village was so surprised to see all the people in red as well.

02:36Thank you so much.
