On the 17th November there was a public meeting organised by Derbyshire County Council on the current temporary closure of the B5056. Our report of that meeting at PARWICH.ORG can be seen by clicking here.
Cllr Simon Spencer committed the Authority to keep residents up to date in writing on the various issues raised that could not be conclusively dealt with in the meeting.
Earlier this month Cllr Chris Jackson (Cabinet Member for Highways & Transport) sent out a letter with their minutes of the meeting and their current action plan from the meeting. Yesterday they also emailed us this so we could put it on the Blog. To access these papers click on the following links:
- Cllr Jackson’s letter originally dated 2nd Dec 2009
- DCC minutes of the public meeting on 17/11/09 re B5056 closure
- DCC’s planned action following the public meeting
(Note: the minutes and action plan are not exactly as sent to us as the originals contained some full names and addresses which we have removed. Added 16th Dec.)
You can contact the Cllr Chris Jackson directly with any responses or further thoughts or alternatively any comments added below will be forwarded by the PARWICH.ORG Team to Highways.

Thank you to the reader who pointed out the notes of the County Council’s notes on the meeting of the 17/11/09 contained several addresses. Also the Action Plan contained full contact details for one household. We had posted them as provided by the Council, without fully checking the contents.
We have edited the files to remove surnames and any address information, except relating to the Council itself. Fortunately these files were only accessed a limited number of times, before we updated them. Our apologies if anyone was unhappy with this, we will try to ensure it does not happen again.
Wasn’t there a lot of concern about the Health & Safety aspects of the on-going repairs just south of Tissington Ford, with equipment, materials and tree cuttings left in the road at various times without being marked or lit?
Residents had the feeling that the contractors were forgetting that they still had to use this road.
This does not seem to be addressed in the action plan.
