Thank you to John Fern for the folowing post:
Leaders from the Peak District National Park Authority will be holding a community visit to Parwich on Tuesday 13 January.
The aim of the day is for us to come and listen to local people to find out the key issues for the community – to find out what is going well, what needs improving and areas where we can work together in the future.
The people coming will be:
- Jim Dixon, chief executive
- Councillor Irene Ratcliffe, deputy chair of the authority and a county councillor (part of her constituency covers the Parwich area).
- Dan Yates, village officer
- John Fern, head of communications
The itinerary will be:
- 1.30pm – 2pm: Visit to Sycamore Inn to meet landlady Janet Gosling.
- 2:15pm – 3.30pm: Parwich Primary School. Meeting headteacher Caroline Rodgers, some governors and parents.
From this point on all the meetings will be in Parwich Memorial Hall.
- 3:45pm – 4:15pm: Parwich website (parwich.org) – Meeting Mike Atkinson and Peter Trewhitt.
- 4:15pm – 5pm: Parwich Village Action Group – Meeting Peter Trewhitt, Lynette Coyne and other committee members.
- 5pm – 6pm: Meeting some of the Parwich Memorial Hall Management Committee, including secretary Amanda Johnson.
- 6pm – 7pm: Meeting parish councillors from Parwich Parish Council, Eaton & Alsop Parish Council and Ballidon & Bradbourne Parish Council and any interested members of the public.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the session between 6pm and 7pm at the memorial hall.
Anyone who is unable to make the event can send questions or comments to parwich.org (either as a comment below or via email to parwich@hotmail.co.uk) to be passed on to us on the day. Alternatively, they could talk to representatives from the groups we are meeting and ask them to pass on their comments.
