Deliveries of the Ashbourne News Telegraph and the Derby Evening Telegraph today have failed to reach Parwich. Janet is going into Ashbourne this afternoon for the Stunner, so copies should be available in the Sycamore this evening. In the meantime it can be seen on-line.
Here are some items in this week’s paper that might be of local interest:
- p.1 Ashbourne solicitor pleaded guilty to charges false accounting in relation to Ashbourne Shrovetide Football and a number of individual clients in Nottingham Crown Court on Monday.
- p.2 Grit shortages (see also our post below)
- p.2 Parking charges in Ashbourne to be increased on April 1st.
- p.4 Paper hopes for news on Stock in Lionel Webster’s shop (see letters on p.8). The Police investigation into his death is still ongoing.
- p.4 & 5 Two page spread on the Mappleton Boat Race and Bridge Jump (the paper’s website has a video clip and slide show).
- p.7 The Police plan to have speed cameras on the A515 north of Ashbourne and the A52 through Ednaston and Mackworth this week. Hopefully every one on the A515 is taking particular care in the current weather conditions.
As always if you spot anything we have missed add a comment below.
