This week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph has a very positive feature on PARWICH.ORG. A half page spread under the title “Blog site keeps villagers updated“, it also has a picture of the site (showing our post ‘Peak Park confused about Memorial Hall‘). The final sentence “… it should be a beacon for other villages contemplating a similar enterprise” is particularly heartening (especially as this has also been picked up elsewhere, see onlineFocus). Although the text of this excellent article does not seem to be on their website, it draws on our press release posted on this site.
There are several other things in this issue that our browsers might like to read, including a feature on Tissington Well Dressings p 28 & 29, and an article on the QEGS students collecting their D of E Awards (p.17) with a couple of names most will recognise (congratulations to all, but especially to our own Catherine Bunting). Also as Bill pointed out on this site, the Peak Park arrived at a ‘mutually acceptable alternative’ venue for the Church Cottage Planning Appeal Hearing on the 28th of May (my apologies for our previously incorrect date) by letting the appellants know it is to be at Aldern House through the pages of this week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph.

Since Thursday we understand the Peak Park have agreed to hold the planning appeal at Fenny Bentley School at the appellants’ request. A very positive compromise!
