We have received the following request for help from Jacqui and Paul:
Paul and Jacqui Jesson (‘The Happy Campers’) are asking for your urgent help. Quite a few of you may be aware that we are hoping to move into the lovely village of Parwich very shortly and are currently buying Jane Harris’s house: 9 Sycamore Cottages. Unfortunately, when the search was carried out, it came to light that there is a covenant of the Property that anyone wishing to Purchase the house must have lived in the area for a minimum of three years.
Although we do not own property in the village, so therefore can not produce things such as utility bills, we are trying to show the Council that we have been members of the ‘Parwich Community’ since 2004, that we have many friends within Parwich, and that we have tried to support the village throughout this time, spending as much time as possible in the area.
We would therefore like to appeal to as many of you as possible to help us achieve this. Paul and I have drafted a letter, confirming how long we have been coming to the village and supporting Parwich. We are asking for as many of our friends and hopefully neighbours as possible to add their names and addresses and to sign the letter, enabling us to take these to the Council to help us get the Covenant dismissed for the sale to proceed.
Also, if anyone would be kind enough to put pen to paper to support us, we would not be able to thank you enough. The letters would need to be addressed to:
Derbyshire Dales District Council
FAO Helen Bowden
Town Hall
Bank Road
Matlock
Derbyshire
DE4 3NN
Paul will be around the village on Saturday/Sunday to try and get as much support as possible and will collect any letter of support. If you kindly take them to the Sycamore pub or shop it would be greatly appreciated. Or alternately e-mail them to pm.jesson@ntlworld.com.
We need to be able to produce as much evidence to help to get the covenant changed to the council by the end of January.
Thank you for any help you can offer to help fulfil our dreams.
Jacqui and Paul Jesson
