Conservative win for Dovedale & Parwich

Mike A — Fri, 06 May 2011 13:46:33 +0000

Congratulations are due to Sir Richard FitzHerbert, who has been elected as the Conservative member for the Dovedale and Parwich ward of Derbyshire Dales District Council, with 594 votes against the Labour candidate’s 181 votes.

This ward encompasses the parishes of Eaton and Alsop, Fenny Bentley, Hartington Nether Quarter, Lea Hall, Mappleton, Newton Grange, Parwich, Tissington and Thorpe. Sir Richard replaces our previous councillor, Simon Spencer (also Conservative), who had won the seat uncontested in 2007.

As for the Carsington Water ward, which includes the parish of Ballidon and Bradbourne, this was held by Lewis Rose (Conservative), who won it uncontested.

Representation for Pikehall residents is more complicated, as Pikehall is split between five different parishes (Parwich, Hartington Nether Quarter, Ballidon/Bradbourne, Brassington and Elton). Residents will be represented as follows, depending on their parish:
- Parwich and Hartington Nether Quarter: Sir Richard FitzHerbert
- Ballidon/Bradbourne and Brassington: Lewis Rose
- Elton: Colin Swindell (Labour member for Winster & South Darley)

There were no Parish Council elections for Parwich, or for Ballidon/Bradbourne. In the Eaton/Alsop parish, the three candidates – John Bunting, Christopher Duffell and David Wainwright – were returned unopposed.

The Conservatives now hold 29 seats on the Council. Labour have 5 seats, the Lib Dems have 4, and there is one Independent member. Compared to the 2007 elections, the Conservatives have gained 3 seats, Labour have gained 1 seat, and the Lib Dems have lost 4 seats.

All Saints Ballidon – a sad state of repair

Jane B — Sun, 01 May 2011 22:44:13 +0000

Steve K from Leek recently visited All Saints at Ballidon and was disgusted that such an old place of worship (12th century & rebuilt in the 19th century) could be allowed to decay and deteriorate. He has contacted the diocese at Wirksworth and is saddened that no one seems to care.

If you have any news about any possible restoration work to the Church, please let Steve know, via PARWICH.ORG.
