We’ve been asked by the Parish Council to post the following-

On several occasions the Parish Council have been contacted by residents concerned about vehicles getting stuck on the corner between Kiln Lane and Creamery Lane.

The Council is aware of the hazard and inconvenience this causes. Unfortunately the Parish Council has no powers install signage or other measures to reduce the risk. Previous attempts to get the Highways Authority, Derbyshire County Council (DCC), to install suitable warning signs have been unsuccessful.

However they did suggest that a record be kept every time this happens. This could be used to try again to justify some action.

The Council are asking residents who observe problems on the corner to e-mail the parish Clerk on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.co.uk .

Please include as much information as you can. This could include, but not be limited to:

• Date
• Time of day
• What type of vehicle was it?
• How long any vehicle was stuck?
• Was a recovery vehicle required to move it?
• Was the road beyond the corner blocked?
• Was the vehicle damaged?
• Was any property damaged?
• Was there any other damage?
• A photo if possible.

Even if is quickly resolved please make a report to add to the evidence.

… and don’t assume someone else will report it!

The more reports we get, even of the same incident, the more impact we hope this will have with DCC .

The number of incidents reported will be logged in the Parish Council minutes. When this makes what the Council feels is a compelling case we will write to them again.
