This sunny day saw the planting of the new avenue on Nether Green. It looks very new, but in years to come it will be loved as much as the chestnuts were.

We have received this reminder from the Environment Agency, as passed onto us by the Parish Council.
The Environment Agency is concerned to prevent heating oil tank pollution incidents, as they are aware of a number of recent spills, especially from smaller domestic tanks. They are seeking to raise awareness of this issue before the winter sets in, as failures of heating oil tanks and associated pipe work happen most often during the cold snap. “The consequences to groundwater, and rivers for that matter, can be devastating“, they tell us.
For more information on groundwater protection policy, follow this link, and download this PDF.

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:
If you are interested in helping out or would like further information please contact any member of Parwich Parish Council.

The avenue of chestnuts at Nether Green was planted for the Queen’s Coronation, as well as the cherry trees given to each member of the WI, only a few of which remain (there is one outside Hallcliffe on Church Green), and the now very fine copper-beech also on the Green. This was part of a wave of tree planting for decoration rather than utility starting in the 1950s and 1960s.
Nearly everyone that knew these chestnuts was sad when, in ones and twos, they had to be cut down because of disease. The Parish Council undertook a very well advertised poll of the village in January and February of this year to decide what to do next. There was strong support for replanting an avenue of trees (see Parish Council Minutes for March of this year: “The results were: 13 votes for no replacement trees, 3 votes for trees only on the Nethergreen side and 37 votes for an avenue of trees on both sides.“).
It has been resolved to replant in September, with the Peak Park reimbursing the Council for the cost of the actual trees, but not the cost of the work. The Peak Park insist that the one surviving chestnut tree remain. From subsequent Minutes I am not sure if the new avenue is to be Alder, as initially resolved, or Lime trees, as advised by the Peak Park’s tree officer.
What follows is very much my personal view and does not in any way reflect the opinions of the Blog or the Blog Team, further it is in no way intended as a criticism of the Parish Council, who have put a lot of work into striving to reach the right decision for the Village:
I hesitate to raise again the issue of the avenue of trees at Nether Green, it having been clearly decided by a community vote. Having voted myself for the trees to be replanted on both sides of the road, I was at the time strongly in favour of the avenue being replanted. However over the intervening months, I have found myself increasingly valuing the open space left by the loss of the chestnuts. Several people have also said the same to me, and that it is a return to the open views so characteristic of the Village as seen in old photographs, prompting me to write this.

There has been an area of subsidence in Main Street by the entrance to the Memorial Hall (sorry it is not very obvious in the photo), possibly along the line of the stream in a culvet under the road. The Parish Council has informed Highways about this:
Please would you put a notice on the blog to say that the hole that has just appeared outside the Memorial Hall has been reported to the Council
Many thanks

This email has been sent to the blog by Parwich Parish Council, the following appeared in a circular from Rural Action Derbyshire and provides information from a charity offering refurbished computers with some software and a warrenty for people in rural areas at a small cost.
Living in a rural area, whether on a farm miles from anywhere, or even in a country town, means spending time and money travelling about to get things done.
Email and Internet provide enormous opportunities when you can’t just pop round the corner to the shop or library etc, yet computers are usually expensive items, and few people want to buy one “just to see if one day it might be useful”. Once you have one and know how to use it, and appreciate what it can do, you don’t mind paying but that first step is often inhibited by the cost.
The Arthur Rank Centre is committed to supporting the rural community, and has set up the “Computers for Rural People” scheme to provide computers at very low cost to encourage people to take the first step. (more…)
