Derbyshire town to be 'renamed'

A Derbyshire town is to be renamed by National Express for Father's Day.

To mark Sunday's special occasion, the UK's largest coach operator is rebranding locations across the UK - including Belper - in a unique tribute to the hard-working dads of Great Britain.

Tom Stables, National Express UK coach managing director, said: "Father's Day is a special day and we wanted to do our bit and show our appreciation for the country's hard-working dads by re-naming towns and cities of the UK in their honour."
