South Derbyshire is a local government district in Derbyshire, England. It contains a third of the National Forest, and the council offices are in Swadlincote.
Other places in the district include Aston-on-Trent, Elvaston, Hatton, Hilton, Ingleby, Linton Melbourne, Milton Shardlow, Overseal, Stenson Fields, Walton-on-Trent and Weston-on-Trent,.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974 as a merger of the Swadlincote urban district along with Repton Rural District and part of South East Derbyshire Rural District.
In May 2006, a report commissioned by British Gas [1] showed that housing in South Derbyshire produced the 19th highest average carbon emissions in the country at 6,929 kg of carbon dioxide per dwelling. Now as a way of helping to reduce these emissions, the local councils have given out leaflets and flyers telling people information about climate change.
