Although this work will have no impact on our community, it is only about 9 miles away and many of us may drive, walk or work in that area, so it may be of interest to read the Peak Park’s official press release.
Tearsall Quarry work given provisional go-ahead
A mining company’s application to work a Peak District open cast quarry for six years has been approved.
Members of the Peak District National Park Authority decided by 10 votes to eight to allow Glebe Mines to work Tearsall Quarry, on Bonsall Moor, near Matlock, due to exceptional circumstances secured by a legal agreement.
It followed an offer by Glebe Mines to give up its rights to quarry minerals at another environmentally sensitive site called Peak Pasture, on the eastern edge of Longstone Edge, near Bakewell, for at least four years while extraction takes place at Tearsall Quarry. (more…)
The Parwich ladies romped to a very convincing win last night in Leek. The final score was 26-4 and it has to be said that the defending players – Sarah, Nia and Ruth did not break into a sweat! All sweating was left to Olivia Flowers, who has returned to the Parwich team after short child rearing break. Straight back in at GA she was darting around the D and popping the ball neatly in the net. Janette (also a Flower….) was on fine form launching impossible looking shots which sailed through the hoop without touching the sides. 
Congratulations to Parwich Netball Team who began the spring season (the snowdrops are beginning to appear, but Spring!) with a 12 – 6 victory last night in the Leek Netball League.
Don’t forget Parwich Primary School is again participating in
