Although very close to Wirksworth, Bolehill has its own identity. Bolehill Focus has been setup thanks to the hard work of Marvin Harding.  

The residents of Bolehill and Steeple Grange celebrated the completion of the refurbishment of Bolehill Playing Fields on Sunday 26th August.

Dorothy Price, a life-long Bolehill resident, cut the ribbon to pronounce the improved play area open. The new equipment was enjoyed by children and adults of all ages and a lovely afternoon was spent in what is one of the most interesting and attractive play areas in Wirksworth.

Those who attended included Frank Bark, Mayor of Wirksworth, Mike and Irene Ratcliffe (Town and County Councillors), Keith Meikle-Janney (Wirksworth Rotary Club), Councillor Peter Slack (Town Councillor), Les Warren and Keith Postlethwaite (both Derbyshire Dales District Council).

Liz Ormond, Chair of Bolehill Improvement Project, acknowledged the inspiration and enthusiasm of the late Brian Williams, who initiated the project. Thanks were also given to those who contributed financially including, Wirksworth Rotary Club, Awards for All, Wirksworth Town Council and Derbyshire County Council. Debyshire Dales District Council contributed by installing the equipment and providing materials. Lastly, thanks were given to the residents of Bolehill who made donations and contributed through many fundraising efforts held throughout the year.
