A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE BOWLS CLUB
We would like to say how much we appreciated the help from Mick Edge and Phil Kirkham last Sunday when they helped us with our our end of season maintenance day. Without their help we could not have undertaken some of the necessary work.

Parking Near The Old Shop
Posted in Parish Council, Roads on Monday September 9, 2019| Leave a Comment »
The Parish Council has been approached by residents concerned about the number of cars that are sometimes parked in this area. The Clerk undertook to look into the possibility of using a residents’ parking scheme to address these concerns. These schemes are run by the Highways Authority (Derbyshire County Council) who provide details on their website. These schemes cover relatively large areas, do not guarantee parking in any particular place and come at a significant cost to residents.They do not seem suitable for Parwich.
The owner of the Old Shop has kindly allowed the Clerk to have sight of the marketing text for its letting and the advice for guests. This is consistent with trying to avoid inconvenience for residents, although it is not possible to guarantee that it is always followed.
The road is a public space and the Parish Council does not formally have either any authority, or responsibility, to control how it is used. Should vehicles be parked illegally (e.g. either obstructing emergency vehicles or not taxed) this can be reported to the relevant authority.
The Parish Council would therefore simply like to encourage residents and visitors to park considerately and continue to attempt to resolve any problems courteously.

Dog Fouling
Posted in Environment, Parish Council, Pets of Parwich on Tuesday March 12, 2019| 2 Comments »
This from the Parish Council-
Concerns about dog fouling on the Parson’s Croft playing field have again been raised with the Parish Council. Like all open public spaces in the Village, Parsons Croft is already covered by a Derbyshire Dales Public Space Protection Order. This makes failure to clear up dog fouling an offence for which a fixed penalty can be issued.
If the problem continues, the Parish Council may feel that it has no alternative but to consider applying for a Dog Control Order (DCO) banning dogs from the area altogether.
The Council would be very reluctant to take this step, recognising how unfair it would be to the majority of responsible dog owners. But it has also to consider how unfair it is to residents, and particularly children using the area, to expose them to the health risks caused by illegal dog fouling.
If a DCO had to be introduced, responsibility for the injustice caused to some would lie clearly with those dog owners who had caused the problem.
Please help the Council to avoid the need to consider such a measure by ensuring that these concerns as widely understood as possible.
Instances of dog fouling should be reported here,
http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/environment-and-waste/roads/street-care-and-cleaning/dog-fouling
This will bring them to the attention of the enforcement officers who can issue fines. It is not necessary to identify the offender in order to make a report. It is possible to request removal of faeces, but if it has been dealt with this can be noted on the report.

There will be a further briefing for confirmed candidates on Tuesday 9 April 2019, also at Matlock Town Hall at 6.00pm. On this occasion they will point out some election do’s and don’ts and also provide details of the counting arrangements. All confirmed candidates and agents (where appropriate) are invited

Village Speed Limits
Posted in Local government, Parish Council, Roads on Tuesday January 29, 2019| Leave a Comment »
Further to the recent correspondence which the Parish Council has had with the Traffic and Road Safety Service of Derbyshire County Council you may wish to read their latest response. It’s not at all supportive of the wishes of the village as expressed by our Parish Council. It’s quite a long response when really they could have just said no we don’t want to spend any money on you (how much do a few signs with 20 painted on them cost?, or false road narrowing gates at the entrance to the village like Brassingon?)

Posted in Parish Council on Tuesday December 11, 2018| Leave a Comment »
At meetings in January and February the Parish Council will discuss its budget for the next financial year starting in April.
The Parish Council would be interested to hear any suggestions from residents about what they would (or would not) like the Parish Council to spend money on. Comments are welcome regarding spend on both regular items (e.g. mowing) and one off projects (e.g improving facilities).

Village speed limit – Parish Council response
Posted in Local government, Parish Council, Roads on Friday November 30, 2018| Leave a Comment »
The Traffic Management department of Derbyshire County Council recently responded to the Parish Council’s concerns regarding vehicle speed in the village. They would not implement a 20mph limit but were prepared to place additional 30mph repeaters in the village.
After this response was posted on the blog the Parish Council received a number of comments from residents and discussed the issue at its recent meeting. As a result the following reply has been sent back to Traffic Management.
The Parish Council also suggests that residents with views on this subject write directly to Traffic Management at
ETC.TrafficManagement@derbyshire.gov.uk
to emphasise their concerns.
