Derbyshire County Council are holding a public meeting about the B5056 closure at 7pm on Tuesday 17th November at Tissington Village Hall.
Our Councillor, Simon Spencer, will be introducing the meeting, followed by Officers outlining the plans and proposed time-scale for the repairs. There will also be an opportunity for those attending to ask questions.
If you have anything you want us to pass on to the County Council before the meeting or are unable to attend and have points you want raising, please add comments below or email parwich@hotmail.co.uk.

I do hope they are taking the oportunity to fix all (at least three) of the places when the road was subsiding and not just the one near Fenny Benley.
Previously Officers had talked about the spot south of Tissington Ford (where the ‘temporary’ lights have been) being repaired in October or November of this year. However, Councillor Chris Jackson’s (Cabinet Member for Highways & Transport) subsequent letter dated 17th Sept is less definite only talking about the repairs here potentially taking place while the road is closed.
One thing that has been mentioned to me by several people is the urgent need for maintenance work on the smaller lanes; particularly from the Parwich point of view, the lane through Alsop en le Dale, which has increasing numbers of holes appearing along the edge of the road with the heavier traffic.

Also, I have been avoiding Tissington Ford, because a while ago I was told there were a number of bad pot holes in the Ford. Is this still the case?
Peter, although the ford has had some of the pot holes filled in, more very deep holes have appeared. We went through it today in our large wheeled truck to ‘test’ the road surface – it was very precarious and I would not advise it in a normal car.
I know of at least one person who has had to have some very expensive repairs carried out because the underneath of their car was damaged in a deep hole.
Derbyshire County Council have issued a work instruction to fill in the passing places with stone/chatter to create temporary passing places while the Alsop Road is being used more excessively.
