England footballer Millie Bright OBE given the Freedom of Derbyshire

26 July 2024

You may have read in Emma Alexander's message last week or seen in the news that we gave Chesterfield-born England footballer Millie Bright OBE the Honorary Freedom of the County of Derbyshire.


Millie was presented with the honour at a special meeting of the council. A reception was held afterwards in the Members’ Room which was attended by Millie’s family, Councillors, senior officers and Aldermen and Alderwomen.

Numerous colleagues worked hard to make sure the event ran smoothly. Our civic office organised the event working with facilities management, legal and democratic services, member and management support, communications and the business centre.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in this high-profile event.
