The following email has been sent to Councillor Simon Spencer. We will report back on his response.
Dear Mr Spencer,
I am writing on behalf of community website parwich.org. For some time now our community has been concerned at the deterioration of the B5056 by the Bentley Brook pub. This section of road has been subsiding for many months and we are concerned that the lack of action may lead to closure of the road for an extended period. Such a closure would result in considerable inconvenience for the residents and businesses of Parwich and surrounding villages as well as other people using the B5056.
Despite a major article in the Ashbourne News Telegraph, there does not appear to be any recognition from the authorities that the longer this section of road is left, repairs will take considerably longer and will be more expensive.
The following link to our website will give you a sense of the extent of the problem. Note that since these photos were taken, the road has sunk significantly further.

I would be grateful if you could use your influence to determine why no action is apparently being taken to address this problem and to determine what the plans are to rectify the situation.
Thank you for your help.
