Village Maintenance Day
Posted in Parish Council on Thursday September 14, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We have been asked by the Parish Council to publicise the next Village Maintenance Day which will be held on Sunday the 8th of October.
The particular tasks to be tackled will be discussed and planned at the next Parish Council Meeting on the 20th of September.
The Parish Council hopes that by giving advance notice, more people will be able to take part. Even if you can only give an hour or two you will be very welcome. The more people we have the more we can get done on the day.
The Allotment Poll
Posted in Gardens, Parish Council on Tuesday September 5, 2017| Leave a Comment »
A few weeks ago I ran a poll on here to coincide with National Allotments Week
The poll attracted 30 responses (thank you all!) with 13 saying they would like to have an allotment in the village.
There were 2 comments that added some good information and ideas for thoses interested.
The Parish Council Clerk provided some valuable information for those interested in an allotment –
“If residents would like to rent an allotment they should write to the Parish Council. If six residents write to a Parish Council requesting provision of allotments the Council is required to formally assess the level of demand.”
Then this great suggestion came from Saskia T –
“I wondered whether a third option of a ‘Community Allotment’ should also be considered: i.e. a shared allotment that could be used by a group of residents who don’t have a veg plot and would share the produce. Other growers in the village could share excess seedlings and excess produce (especially runners beans and marrows…). And if there is enough space: a few fruit trees? Perhaps pie (or should that be ‘pumpkin’) in the sky? The suggestion originates from a visit to an amazing community allotment project in a small hamlet in Australia”
So in conclusion, anyone interested in allotments should write to the Parish Council.

Grant Funding for Playground Improvements
Posted in Parish Council on Monday August 28, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We have been asked by the Parish Council to publish the following –
Derbyshire Environmental Trust administer the Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund. This fund allows grants to be made for certain community projects that are near to landfill sites. It is funded by tax rebates available to land fill operators. Average grants are in the region of £20,000 though there is no specific limit.
The Parish Council has established that Parwich is located close enough to such a site to be able to apply for a grant. It has also been confirmed that playground improvements would be a suitable project.
At this stage the Parish Council is interested in hearing from residents about the sort of improvements they would like to see. Ideas from children would be particularly appreciated.
It is not possible to confirm if any particular suggestion would be implemented as costs and alternatives may have to be considered. The whole process may take many months due to the timetable for preparing and reviewing applications.
Depending on the proposals made permission from the Paek Parks Planning Authority may be required.
Please e-mail or write to the Parish Council, or contact the Clerk or any of the Councillors with your suggestions.
Mobile Phone mast planning application. Brook Close Farm
Posted in Local government, Parish Council, Planning, Utilities on Monday August 28, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We have been asked by the Parish Council to publish the following –
The Peak District National Park Planning committee has rejected this Planning Application.
The reason given was that
“The proposed installation by reasons of its height and exposed position would appear as an intrusive feature in this open countryside location, detrimental to the visual amenities of the area.”
No further public consultation had taken place as the application was regarded as a “permitted development”.

Public Toilets
Posted in Parish Council on Thursday June 8, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We have received this from Andrew, the Parish Council Clerk.
The Parish Council recently asked for views about the use of the public toilets at Parson’s Croft. Based on the responses and subsequent discussion the following was minuted:
No interest had been shown in using public funds to keep them open on a regular basis.
Resolved: That the toilets can generally be made available for use by village groups as required on the basis that they will leave them as they would wish to find them.
Resolved: That regular users shall have their own keys for this purpose. Currently the School and Bowls Club who have keys and the Football Club who need keys cut.
Resolved: That for occasional use, e.g. caravan meetings, the toilets will be opened by one of the Parish Council key holders.
So if you would like the toilets to be opened please contact the Parish Clerk.

New Mast Proposal
Posted in Parish Council, Services on Friday May 5, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We have received this from the Parish Council. This one looks to be even closer to the school than the previous mast proposal.
The Parish Council has recently been approached for comments regarding a new proposed mobile phone base station to be located on private land at Brook Close Farm.
Whilst the Parish Council has been approached for comment, we do not have the power to either accept or reject the latest proposal. Likewise, should planning consent be sought from the Peak District National Park then the Parish Council will again be asked to comment but will not be able to make the decision.
The Parish Council’s response will be discussed at the Parish Council at 7.00pm on the 17th May 2017.
There is no financial benefit for the village from this proposal.
The correspondence received can be seen on the Parish Council’s website here
H&S Guidelines for the Spring Clean
Posted in Parish Council on Friday May 5, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Guidelines for Helpers of the Spring Village Clean-up 2017
Tasks involve: Cleaning inside and painting the pavilion, clearing the path to the pavilion, clearing the area of land (mainly brambles) surrounding the hard courts, etc
This brief guide explains the key Health & Safety points taken from the risk assessment, which is available on the Parwich Parish Council website.
* Volunteers take part at their own risk
* Children are very welcome, but only with permission from their parent. Under 9’s are expected to be accompanied by a parent
* Volunteers to wear suitable clothing for the tasks and the weather conditions. Sturdy and appropriate footwear (wellington boots) and strong gloves
* It is helpful if volunteers bring their own tools, such as wheel barrows, rakes, spades, forks and step ladders. Please ensure these tools and equipment are in a suitable state of repair so that they do not cause injury to yourself or others
* Only use tools and step ladders if you feel competent and safe to do so
* Some volunteers may be painting the pavilion. Work clothes, eye protection and gloves are advised for this task. We will be using Wickes Creocote, which can cause skin irritation and is potentially harmful if this comes into contact with your eyes
* If you come into direct contact with dog faeces please wash your hands immediately as this can cause Toxocariasis (blindness) in young children
* During the activity please make the organisers (Parish Councillors / Clerk) aware of any Health & Safety concerns that you encounter
* Please take extra care of site traffic (dumpster and tipper vehicles)
* Power tools should not be used by anyone who is not suitably competent
* Look out for the safety of yourselves and others (especially children)
* During the event refreshments will be provided at the Pavilion. Please ensure you wash your hands well before handling and consuming food

Public Toilets
Posted in Parish Council, Services, Uncategorized on Sunday April 30, 2017| 1 Comment »
We have received this from Andrew Martin, the Parish Council Clerk –
The Parish Council is grateful for work recently done by the Bowls Club to repair and refurbish the toilets at Parson’s Croft.
In recent times the toilets have been opened only for Bowls matches and on a limited number of special occasions. The Bowls club have serviced them for this level of use on a voluntary basis.
The Parish Council would like to gauge the level of interest in having them open on a more regular basis. In order to do this volunteers and/or money would be needed to have them locked and unlocked and serviced more frequently.
The willingness of the Parish Council to contribute public money for this may be influenced by the level of support for regular opening.
Note that the toilets would remain closed during the winter anyway as there is no heating and the water has to be drained to prevent damage from freezing.
Feedback on any of the following points would be most helpful.
* Would you be interested in seeing the toilets open on a more regular basis?
* Are there any times when you would find this particularly useful?
* Would you be able to provide voluntary support for more regular opening?
* Would you be able to provide financial support for more regular opening?
* Any other comments?
Responses from individuals or organisations would be very welcome. You can either leave comments on the blog or e-mail the Clerk on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk. clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk
Any comments received will be considered at a future meeting.
