About Us

Broxtowe Borough Council is committed to our vision for ‘A greener, safer, healthier Borough, where everyone prospers.’  The Borough of Broxtowe serves four main towns - Beeston, Stapleford, Kimberley and Eastwood each with its own character and individuality.

Broxtowe a very pleasant place to live and work. Nearly two thirds of the land in Broxtowe is open countryside with a number of areas noted for their particular charm, and preserved as conservation areas.

The Council previously held the ‘Two Ticks’ disability scheme status and voluntarily became a Disability Confident Employer following the introduction of the new scheme in 2016. 

The Disability Confident scheme helps employers recruit and retain great people, and to:

• Challenge attitudes and increase understanding of disability
• Draw from the widest possible pool of talent
• Secure high-quality staff who are skilled, loyal and hard working
• Improve employee morale and commitment by demonstrating fair treatment

It also helps identify those employers who are committed to inclusion and diversity in the workplace. Broxtowe Borough Council is positive about employing people with disabilities and making reasonable adjustments to support employees in the workplace.
