This week’s edition of the Ashbourne News Telegraph contains a few stories of local interest. Don’t forget you can buy it from Janet in the Sycamore or access the free e-edition by following this link.
p.3 – Hope for Flood Protection
A meeting has been organised in Ashbourne between Severn Trent, the Environment Agency, Derbyshire Dales District Council and Derbyshire County Council to discuss the future of flooding protection in Ashbourne following last summer’s floods. The Environment Agency has confirmed that a flood alleviation scheme is under way in Ashbourne. Although not of direct interest to Parwich, it begs the question as to whether flood alleviation measures are also being carried out in Parwich.
p.4 – Seeking firms to sponsor bra walk fund-raiser
Again, a headline which caught my eye – sponsorship is being sought for a sponsored walk around Carsington Water in aid of breast cancer charities to take place on May 16 at 2pm. Participants will be encouraged to wear a decorated bra for the event. And don’t forget, we are also still seeking firms to sponsor the building of the new Parwich Memorial Hall – for more information, follow this link.
p.5 – Praise for rescuers who saved woman
Two heroes have told how they rescued a trapped woman who was “sinking” with her car while driving through the ford by Bradbourne Mill. The rescuers – Mark Skinner and Simon Ashman both work at Ballidon Quarry.
p.7 – Cyber Scouts photo wins competition
A photo of Ashbourne Cyber Scouts expedition to Black Rocks won first prize in a photographic competition that focuses on Ashbourne’s bustling network of volunteers. I know that quite a few Parwich children go to the Ashbourne Cyber Scouts and thought this article might interest them.
p.46 – Jordan sparks Mayfield back to life
And finally … the report of Mayfield Panthers U11 4-1 win over Doveridge U11 contains the following mention of one of our local footballers: “Panthers continued to pile on the pressure, with Tom Goldsworthy … coming tantalisingly close on a couple of occasions.” His mother must be very proud.
