And by night.

Available online or in the Sycamore, the Stunner has no directly local news stories this week as far as I can see, but it does have an article by local resident Debbie Webster:
p.22 End of an era for my position – an article by Debbie Webster about her role in Ashbourne’s Volunteer Centre and the fact that cuts in funding mean that Debbie will no longer be able to continue in that role after December.

Thank you to Mani from Germany for this photo af a pine tree. Note: this tree is around 40 years old, and has been in gardens as far apart as the Outer Hebrides and London, with its last 12 years here in Parwich. Let’s hope it spends its next 40 years here as well.

There has been debate as to whether we should use the PDF format for information accessible through posts on the site. PDFs have the advantage that we do not need to copy and reformat the information into posts and for some contributors such as Parish Councils it ensures official information remains in the format they agreed. Also use of PDFs means the information can be printed out by the reader in the form intended regardless of the web browser they use.
Most computers now are supplied with PDF reader software already loaded, alternatively relevant software can be downloaded for free from Adobe (click here to download Adobe Reader). However some people find the need to switch into a different format irritating or even confusing.
What are your thoughts?

If anyone is interested, Debbie W has a chest of drawers free for collection.
The chest is made of oak, and it needs either painting or stripping. It is currently painted white – but the paint is chipped, so it needs some attention.
Nothing fancy, but it is good quality, post war ‘service furniture’. The chest is 71 cm high, 99 cm long and 43 cm deep. There are three drawers.
To arrange a viewing, please call Debbie on 568.

We have a new site manager, Rob Osborne, who will be looking after things during this project. He will be on site most of the time. A specialist firm is just completing the removal of all the asbestos from the old hall and we should get the all clear today, this will mean that the demolition should start by Wednesday at the latest. Obviously during the demolition phase there will be increased activity on the site, with more vehicle movements as the rubble is removed. Mains electricity is being established today, our thanks to the Parwich Legion for facilitating this. Thanks, Ben.

The temporary closure of the B5056 at Curzon Lodge north of Longcliffe will be for longer than anticipated, because of the condition of the existing road surface is poorer that expected requiring replacement of a larger area.
During the closure traffic going north will need to divert towards Brassington at the Longcliffe crossroads, then along Manystones Lane over Carsington Pastures and onto the Via Gellia (A5012) by Ryder Point. Alternatively cars can go the other way at the crossroads towards Aldwark reaching the Via Gellia west of Grange Mill.
The contractors anticipate that next week’s closure will be from AM Tuesday 6th to PM Friday 9th of October. We will update if there is any further information.
