Chesterfield Borough Council has said it cannot afford to build and operate an ice rink in the town.
During a meeting last night, councillors debated a petition - which has been signed by almost 1,500 people - calling for an ice rink to be built at the site of Chesterfield's former Queen's Park Sports Centre
