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.

Bus Service
Posted in Local government, Parish Council, Transport on Saturday November 12, 2016| Leave a Comment »
The following news has been shared with us by the Parish Council.
Important changes to bus services – Derbyshire Connect
Important changes to bus services – Derbyshire ConnectDerbyshire County Council is introducing a new bus service – Derbyshire Connect – on Monday 13th February 2017. This will replace services 101 and 102 which operate from the Thorpe and Parwich areas as well as two school services – the 103 and 104 – that run from Hognaston to Hulland Ward Primary School, and Kirk Ireton to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School.
Derbyshire Connect will use an accessible minibus and run between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am and 6pm on Saturdays. It will not run on Sundays. Instead of following a traditional timetabled route, Derbyshire Connect will operate anywhere within the times stated and operating zone (see map attached). Please note the emphasis on this service is its flexibility and the areas served can be changed, within this general operating area, to accommodate the journeys passengers may wish to make.
Journeys will have to be booked in advance, anytime from a week to two hours before travel. A standard fare will be charged but Gold card holders will be able to travel for free after 0930 during the week and anytime on Saturdays. Importantly, Derbyshire Connect will be available to everyone, including visitors, of all ages in the operating area.
Derbyshire Connect will be a pilot service for up to 12 months and if successful may shape the way that transport is provided in the future in the county’s rural areas. There are many successful services of this type operating around the country and we hope that Derbyshire Connect will be more responsive to passengers needs and provide greater travel choices.

Proposed Mobile Phone Mast
Posted in Health Care, Parish Council, Planning, Utilities on Monday September 19, 2016| Leave a Comment »
With the Parish Council meeting on Wednesday discussing feedback received and possible next steps I’m a little concerned that many people may have missed the information posted here on the blog as these posts have now disappeared down the page.
I think it’s worth pointing to the information concerning the proposal and also issues and concerns raised in comments on the blog.
The Council website pages has a comprehensive set of information concerning the plans which can be found here
A number of people have expressed concerns to us and have quoted the Mast Sanity site as a good starting point for researching possible negative consequences of a mast so close to the village. Their information on masts can be found here
Mast Sanity and other research expresses concerns regarding health issues for residents within 400m of a mast. Others such as the Government and the NHS say there are no health issues.
just for interest, here’s the plan of Parwich with 100metre distances from the proposed mast location that was posted previously in a comment.
In posting this I wish to make clear I am neither endorsing nor opposing the mast plans but merely seeking to make sure residents of the village are aware and can find the relevant information.

Although we plan to continue posting information and encouraging discussion here at parwich.org, we also encourage anyone interested to look at the very helpful and well laid out information section on the Parwich Parish Council website
Mobile Phone Mast Information.
Posted in Environment, Parish Council, Utilities on Monday September 12, 2016| 3 Comments »
We have received the following information from the Clerk to Parwich Parish Council:
Mobile Phone Mast Information.
Information available to the Parish Council regarding the possibility of a mobile phone mast being built is being shared as follows.
An area of the Parish Council’s website has been created for this information which you can reach here. This includes the opportunity to provide feedback on-line.
For those who prefer it, the same information will be displayed in the Memorial Hall between 6.00pm and 9.00pm on Thursday the 15th September.
Note, that this has been described as a “Public Meeting” by others though not by the Parish Council. For the avoidance of doubt this session will just display the material available on the website and allow feedback either directly to a councillor or on a paper form. It is not intended that the session will offer anything new to residents who have read and responded to the material placed on the website.
Residents can drop in at any time when the session is open.
Please be aware that individual Councillors are not allowed to answers questions on behalf of the Council as a whole but they can note them for discussion when a Parish Council meeting is held.
Broadband Options
Posted in Local government, Parish Council, Services on Wednesday August 31, 2016| 4 Comments »
Not happy with your broadband speeds now the Parwich exchange is fibre optic enabled, then read this important information from Parwich Parish Council. Those in Alsop may be especially interested!
Broadband in Parwich
Digital Derbyshire would like residents to know that a fibre enabled cabinet is now operational in Parwich. For those who can still not get better than a 2Mbps connection the links in the letter will take you to further information on applying for a subsidy to get a satellite or wireless based internet connection.

Potholes
Posted in Local government, Parish Council, Roads on Thursday August 25, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to the Parish Council for this information:
The Parish Council is aware that the condition of the roads in, and around, the village is of concern to residents. The responsibility for maintaining the roads rests with Derbyshire County Council. DCC operate an on-line form for accessing information and reporting various issues which can be found here.
To report a pothole select
- Report or request
- Fault on Road
- Road condition
then select the picture that matches the pothole and add its location and comments and/or photographs.
The following have already been reported by the Clerk in April with photographic evidence.
- Near the Cottage and Nether Green
Deep pothole – Reported on 6 April 2016, I believe this pothole has been reported before but there has been no repair. This pot hole is approximately 9cm deep It is on the main route through. Parwich It is on a narrow lane frequently used by cyclists in groups. If a cyclist were unable to avoid it the risk of serious injury would be very high.Current status: Job authorised
- Near Church View
Shallow pothole – The surface has broken up around iron works in the road leaving a 6cm exposed sharp metal edge. This is a hazard to cyclists and pedestrians.Current status: Enquiry noted
- B5056 to Ashbourne
Subsidence – This road has been damaged by heavy lorry traffic in a number of places. This is the main route from several villages and businesses into Ashbourne. There is concern that failure to address the condition of this road will lead to further deterioration resulting in more costly and disruptive repairs being required.Current status: Enquiry noted
So as you will realise nothing has happened very quickly. The Parish Council appears to have no more influence than anyone else using the reporting form. However it may be that if more people report the same issues indicating their continued concern then they might be given a greater priority.
Andrew Martin.
Parish Clerk.
Mobile Phone Mast
Posted in Parish Council on Tuesday August 16, 2016| 7 Comments »
Mobile phone mast
There is a possibility that a mobile phone mast could be installed in place of one of the floodlights at the tennis courts. A drone may be flying in the area on Thursday afternoon to establish if it would give useful coverage. The drone is fully licensed for this work.
This is just a feasibility study. No decision has been taken about agreeing to have a mast installed. This would be subject to normal planning regulations and would require the Parish Council to agree to lease the small piece of ground the mast would stand on.
If it appears that a mast would be technically feasible the Parish Council will request more detail about what the mast would look like and the benefits would be. They will then use the blog to share this information and ask for comments before any decision is made.
