After a very close public vote to choose the colour scheme for the internal fittings of the new Belper Health Centre, the final vote is in and the blues have it!
A total of 806 votes were cast in an online and in-person ballot which offered three colour palette options for the new building which is due to be completed in Spring 2026.
It was a very close result as you can see here:
