DDDC Local Plan
Posted in Environment, Housing on Monday September 12, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Although DDDC is not the planning authority for Parwich, the draft Plan for Derbyshire Dales may be of interest.
Deadline approaches for draft Local Plan consultation
The deadline is approaching for local people to have a final say on the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan before it is sent to the Government for examination at the end of the year.
A public consultation, which started on 11 August after a pre-submission draft of the Local Plan was approved at a special full meeting of Derbyshire Dales District Council, ends on 22 September.
An online survey can be completed at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/LocalPlan.
A total of 6,571 homes are earmarked for the district in the pre-submission document, with 28 residential sites allocated – 15 in the central area and 13 in the southern area.
Once approved, the Local Plan will guide local development in the Dales up to the year 2033.
The consultation was supported last month by public meetings in Ashbourne and Matlock, together with a public exhibition that has toured the district and is currently available to view at Matlock Town Hall until 22 September.
Copies of the pre-submission Plan are also available at libraries in Wirksworth, Ashbourne and Matlock, at the District Council’s leisure centres in Ashbourne and Wirksworth and at Matlock Town Hall.
A District Council spokesperson said: “This last round of public consultation is an opportunity for local people to comment on the soundness of the Local Plan. We would stress that only those commenting on the Plan at this stage will have the right to be heard at the Examination in Public in the future.”
At three meetings in July, the council’s Local Plan Advisory Committee considered the views of local people who took part in an earlier public consultation that ran from 7 April to 19 May – including 2,600 comments from around 800 individuals.
Mobile Phone Mast Information.
Posted in Environment, Parish Council, Utilities on Monday September 12, 2016| 3 Comments »
We have received the following information from the Clerk to Parwich Parish Council:
Mobile Phone Mast Information.
Information available to the Parish Council regarding the possibility of a mobile phone mast being built is being shared as follows.
An area of the Parish Council’s website has been created for this information which you can reach here. This includes the opportunity to provide feedback on-line.
For those who prefer it, the same information will be displayed in the Memorial Hall between 6.00pm and 9.00pm on Thursday the 15th September.
Note, that this has been described as a “Public Meeting” by others though not by the Parish Council. For the avoidance of doubt this session will just display the material available on the website and allow feedback either directly to a councillor or on a paper form. It is not intended that the session will offer anything new to residents who have read and responded to the material placed on the website.
Residents can drop in at any time when the session is open.
Please be aware that individual Councillors are not allowed to answers questions on behalf of the Council as a whole but they can note them for discussion when a Parish Council meeting is held.

This week sees the peak of the annual Perseid meteor showers:
The 2016 Perseid meteor shower will peak overnight on Aug. 11 and 12, 2016. The meteor shower appears to radiate out of the constellation Perseus in the northern sky.
See http://www.space.com/32868-perseid-meteor-shower-guide.html for more details. So check the weather forecast, wrap up warm and enjoy the show (especially on Thursday and Friday nights).
DDDC Bins Survey
Posted in Environment, Local government, Services on Wednesday July 20, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Your views welcome on whether we should charge for replacement waste & recycling containers
We would like to know whether you support the idea of being charged for replacement waste and recycling containers. Replacing damaged or lost bins currently costs Derbyshire Dales Council Tax payers around £28,000 a year.
We’re now asking for your views in an online survey that also asks whether or not we should end the annual free supply of black sacks and biodegradable garden waste sacks for households that can’t accommodate bins. Providing free sacks currently costs Council Tax payers more than £30,000 a year.
The Rubbish Mystery
Posted in Environment on Wednesday July 13, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Susan S at Townhead has had black sacks of rubbish left on her driveway for several months. The dropping of the sacks coincide with black bin collection day. Can anyone shed any light on this or is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?
Broken Glass on Parwich Roads
Posted in Environment, Roads, Young people on Thursday June 30, 2016| Leave a Comment »
This morning I have swept up great piles of glass in the road around the Green, and understand from a lady walking her children to school that there is more up Church Walk. it may be wise to advise Mums to brief kids on bikes and generally fooling around, to be careful.
It is very fine crushed glass which is probably from the rubbish collection yesterday.
I have notified the sanitation dept at Derbyshire Dales and they are contacting the contractor to check the Lorry for signs of leakage.

A belated thank-you to the person, whether volunteer or contractor, who cut the grass on the corners of the junction with the B5056. An accident was waiting to happen there. I’d half-heartedly thought about doing it myself, but I’m very pleased you did it for us!

Dog Fouling
Posted in Environment, Parish Council, Pets of Parwich on Friday May 27, 2016| Leave a Comment »
A Message from the Parish Council about Dog Fouling.
The Parish Council shares the concerns raised by a number of residents about dog fouling in the village. Bins and signs are provided to encourage owners to clear up after their dog.You may also wonder what further measures can be taken when problems persist. The following advice originates from Helen Spencer, Parks and Street Scenes Assistant at Derbyshire Dales District Council.
“If a witness comes forward to report that they have seen a dog fouling and their owner failing to clean up then we can issue a fine on the basis that the witness is willing to stand up in court if it gets that far. Evidence such as photos, time, weather, location, description owner or the dog would also help.
We can arrange for an enforcement officer to visit the area but we would need rough estimate of times that the dog fouling occurs. There also may be a charge for the officers time.”
Please note that if you wish to come forward as a witness you will need to report this to Derbyshire Dales yourself as the Parish Council cannot do this on your behalf.
If you believe you have made regular enough observations to justify the cost of requesting an enforcement officer please email clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk with details and it can be considered at the next available meeting.

Dog Muck – Yuck!
Posted in Environment, Pets of Parwich on Tuesday May 3, 2016| 1 Comment »
Alan and I mowed the village millennium green yesterday (Bank holiday Monday). Whilst generally tidying up the area I removed 10 dog deposits. Not pleasant. Today I was on the green and without searching I discovered 2 new deposits. Please please please can dog owners tidy up after their pets.
Last year the mowing contractors often moaned to us about the dog fouling on this particular area of green.
It’s an asset that should be free of horrible dog muck so people can walk on it and enjoy the lovely view.

Noise from Fernlea
Posted in Environment, People on Friday April 8, 2016| 1 Comment »
We would like to apologise to anyone who has been troubled by the sound of our son’s band recording this week. Particularly to our new neighbour who has just moved in. This will definitely finish today (Friday) as they will be going their separate ways. It seems that the roof lets through more sound than we expected when this experiment was planned so we won’t be repeating it. Thank you for your patience. Andrew & Nina M.

WARNING of High Water Levels
Posted in Environment on Monday March 28, 2016| 1 Comment »
The brook has breached it’s bank in several places.
There is water pouring out of a number of manholes where the drains are not coping with the amount of water.
The tarmac has been forced up near the pump shed and Lynette has placed 2 bars on the road in that area to try and warn people not to drive on it.

A Top Place to Live

The Ashbourne Telegraph reports that the Sunday Times, due out this coming Sunday, has once again listed Parwich as one of the best places to live. Let’s hope it is more accurate than the report in The Times earlier this week which placed two of Tissington’s shops in Parwich!
Thank You!

The Local History Society organised an enjoyable quiz on Saturday, with perhaps a challenging photo section. Thank you to all that put in the work that made the quiz a success. The photographs all relate to water in and around our local parishes. Those not at the Sycamore on the night might like to have a go at identifying them (click on photos to enlarge):
