We would like to thank Nia L for informing us that the new Parish Elections will be held on Thursday 23rd June. Notice of election was sent out by Derbyshire Dales and this notice should have been posted on the board on Wednesday 18th May.
As of 11am this morning, no notice has appeared. We have been told that the notice is currently being driven to the village and will be posted this afternoon.
The nomination forms must arrive at Matlock by midday on Thursday – by appointment only
or Ashbourne, tomorrow between 10am-1pm
Concern has been expressed to Derbyshire Dales at the short notice that potential new councillors have to access and return completed forms, due to the late appearance of the notice. Julie Booth, who is responsible for elections at Derbyshire Dales, assured us this morning that if anyone wishes to stand, they will do everything possible to help. Please make your initial request via their help line (01629 761267) and only ring Julie B (01629 761267) if further assistance is required.
We would like to hear from anyone who encounters any difficulties in receiving or submitting their papers. Currently Jane H (413) has one spare nomination paper.

At the Parish Council AGM it was pointed out that the public toilets at Parsons Croft/Creamery Lane will be closed from mid May.
When no one applied for the original toilet cleaner’s job, the Parish Council were extremely grateful to Jane Harris for voluntarily doing the work.
As Jane is moving out of the village this month the Council has found a replacement cleaner. The problem is that this person who will be a paid employee cannot be employed until a new Parish Council is in place, hopefully this summer.
As a result the toilets have to close unless someone is willing to do it voluntarily during this interim period. If you are willing to help out please email parwich@hotmail.co.uk and your message will be passed on.
Derbyshire Dales District Council, today, has confirmed that they are unable to take on the responsibility of cleaning our toilets during this time.
NB – Derbyshire Dales have also been informed that two of the Dog Poo Bins are overflowing, and they have promised to look into it tomorrow.

Congratulations are due to Sir Richard FitzHerbert, who has been elected as the Conservative member for the Dovedale and Parwich ward of Derbyshire Dales District Council, with 594 votes against the Labour candidate’s 181 votes.
This ward encompasses the parishes of Eaton and Alsop, Fenny Bentley, Hartington Nether Quarter, Lea Hall, Mappleton, Newton Grange, Parwich, Tissington and Thorpe. Sir Richard replaces our previous councillor, Simon Spencer (also Conservative), who had won the seat uncontested in 2007.
As for the Carsington Water ward, which includes the parish of Ballidon and Bradbourne, this was held by Lewis Rose (Conservative), who won it uncontested.
Representation for Pikehall residents is more complicated, as Pikehall is split between five different parishes (Parwich, Hartington Nether Quarter, Ballidon/Bradbourne, Brassington and Elton). Residents will be represented as follows, depending on their parish:
– Parwich and Hartington Nether Quarter: Sir Richard FitzHerbert
– Ballidon/Bradbourne and Brassington: Lewis Rose
– Elton: Colin Swindell (Labour member for Winster & South Darley)
There were no Parish Council elections for Parwich, or for Ballidon/Bradbourne. In the Eaton/Alsop parish, the three candidates – John Bunting, Christopher Duffell and David Wainwright – were returned unopposed.
The Conservatives now hold 29 seats on the Council. Labour have 5 seats, the Lib Dems have 4, and there is one Independent member. Compared to the 2007 elections, the Conservatives have gained 3 seats, Labour have gained 1 seat, and the Lib Dems have lost 4 seats.
Full district council election results for Derbyshire Dales can be found here.
Town and Parish Council results can be viewed here.

Our Council has to have a maximum of seven Parish Councillors, with a quorum of three (which is the minimum number of Councillors that Parwich needs to carry out its function).
For Parwich to have no Council after May 9th, this means that less than three people submitted their candidacy for election; it may even mean that no-one chose to stand.
Derbyshire Dales District Council has said that a new election will be called, possibly by the end of July. So on 9th May, the existing Parish Councillors officially retire and thereafter are not legally allowed to carry out any further Parish Council business.
During this interim period, any issues relating to the Parish must be directed to either the District or the County Council.
The new Notice of Election will be posted on the village notice board. We shall also request that it is sent to PARWICH.ORG, in order to reach the widest possible audience.
If between three and seven people choose to stand, then there will be no election and these candidates will be automatically elected. However, if the election is contested, i.e. with more than seven candidates, we will have an election. If an election does take place, these additional costs would have to be paid for out of the parish precept.

On behalf of the Parish Council, Jane Harrison would like to thank all those who turned out on Sunday morning to help clear the Jubilee Pond and watercourse. It was an excellent job done, and special thanks to Ed for bringing his tractor and trailer down and getting rid of all the “muck”.
