[edit] Broadcasting
The local radio stations that cover the village are Peak FM, Radio Derby, Radio Sheffield and Mansfield 103.2 FM.
For television many residents have the aerial facing Emley Moor to receive Yorkshire Television but other regional channels can be received easily in the village such as for the Central Television with a correctly aligned aerial.
[edit] Local Power
A large number of residents signed up to have their heating and electricity supplied by landfill gas powered CHP[1]. However, due to a lack of council support the scheme did not go ahead[2].
