Could you help your local community?
Parwich Parish Council is looking for volunteers to participate in clearing snow and ice from pavements and footways within Parwich during periods of wintery weather.
Derbyshire County Council’s Winter Service Scheme for 2012/13 proved successful with volunteers from 88 town/parish councils, 29 schools and 7 of the 8 district/borough councils in Derbyshire helping to keep Derbyshire’s footpaths and pavements clear during heavy snowfall; 58 local farmer/contractors used their vehicles to grit and clear the County’s roads.
In return for our help, Derbyshire County Council will provide us with:
- A free delivery of up to a tonne of paletted 20kg bags of salt
- Training for up to two representatives
- Regular updates of when routes within our area have been gritted
- A website facility to report snow clearing activities in our community and to notify the Council of any problems/issues in our local area
- Refills of council-owned grit bins twice a year, where requested; once in September and again in January. This will be at the cost of the parish council but will guarantee grit bins are filled and ready for use when bad weather arrives
If you are interested in helping out or would like further information please contact any member of Parwich Parish Council.
