The railways, for example, can be moved to a new transport or geography section, and the TBM sentence to the economy section, as the basis for a paragraph on industry. Where possible, use prose instead of lists. Cite more sources

I believe that Tomato Sausages were first created in Chesterfield some time ago. Maybe someone could research that as I don't know for certain.

[edit] Education

I've removed the information about St.Mary's results... that belongs in an article either dedicated ot Education in Chesterfield or an article on the school itself. The statistics given just give percentages, they don't even state what they are of and hence useless. 70% of what?

I've also removed the information about the primary, infant and junior schools. Saying there are main ones is just not true, there must be well over 30 in Chesterfield, Hady Primary and Hasland Infatns and Juniors are two other big ones I can think of.

I'd appreciate it if someone could find evidence to backup the claim abotu the size of Chesterfield college.

82.195 blah blah blah bloke

can we leave the link to deincourt school please? and if people could help with developing that page it would be useful too.

[edit] Mistake in road names

I've changed "Hollywell Cross" to "Holywell"... that's the correct name.

Please let me know if I've gone about this the wrong way, as this is my first edit. :) Silverleaf79 02:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverleaf79 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] twin cities

as to city twinnings, "It should be noted that very little fanfare is made of this and most residents are unaware that Chesterfield is twinned with anywhere at all." - is that necessary? that's true for every place i can think of. city twinnings are never about "fanfare", and the passage sets a negative light on chesterfield's city twinnings, while i'm sure it's not any less or more negative than in any other place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 77.177.167.33 (talk) 03:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
