Traffic in Parwich
Posted in Parish Council, Roads on Tuesday January 31, 2023| 1 Comment »
Concerns about road safety in the village have been brought to the attention of the Parish Council. The Parish Council has no direct powers to address this sort of concern as the Highways Authority is Derbyshire County Council.
The Parish Council has decided to write again to its County Councilor asking for these concerns to be addressed. The text of this letter is below.
In order to provide substance to any future lobbying, residents are encouraged to note any “near misses” that concern them. These can be e-mailed to the Parish Clerk using clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk.
Text of e-mail to Councillor Spencer:
Dear Councillor Spencer,
Parwich Parish Council have asked me to write to you as their local councillor.
Would you please bring the following matters to the attention of the relevant Cabinet member and Committee.
20 mph speed limits.
In 2020 the Parish Council was provided with a lengthy explanation of Derbyshire County Council’s reluctance to implement 20mph speed limits. Since that time residents and councillors have seen the widespread implementation of 20mph limits in other parts of the country. There is continued concern in the village about vehicle speeds. Especially where there are blind corners and no pavements. The Parish Council would like to place on record their continued disappointment that Derbyshire County Council remains unwilling to act to limit speeds in small villages like Parwich.
Playground sign.
In 2019 it had been agreed that it would be beneficial to install a ‘children playing’ warning sign on the main road through the village as it approaches our unfenced children’s playground on the village green. This was to be addressed when money became available. In 2020 in a reply addressing this (as well as the speed limits) Gill Turner again advised that
“this is something that is proposed commensurate with current priorities and workloads”
However the village is still waiting for this signage to appear.
An update on both matters would be appreciated.
Regards
Andrew Martin
Clerk RFO. Parwich Parish Council

Beware Scaffolding !
Posted in Roads on Wednesday October 19, 2022| Leave a Comment »
We have some roofers at the house this morning, fixing the damage done by vans clipping the roof trying to turn onto Kiln Lane from Creamery Lane.
They’ve erected some scaffolding which is in the road just prior to the left turn onto Kiln Lane as you come up Creamery Lane.
Getting past might be a bit tight (should be fine for cars) so people may want to go via Kiln Lane if they need to access the houses above.
They should be finished by this afternoon.
Thanks,

Just in case anyone has to venture out : I’ve heard that you cannot get to Matlock through Matlock Bath ( the road is closed between Cromford and the railway bridge going into Matlock) due to concerns about the wall retaining the river. There is also flooding in Crown Square, the park and the A6 (The Arc leisure centre road).

Damage to Verges
Posted in Parish Council, Roads on Thursday February 17, 2022| 2 Comments »
Yesterday a large vehicle appears to have been done significant damage to the verges on both Creamery Lane and Kiln Lane.
If anyone knows which vehicle caused this damage could they please share this information with the Parish Council.
Kiln Lane Corner. You can help!
Posted in Parish Council, Roads on Monday January 31, 2022| 1 Comment »
We’ve been asked by the Parish Council to post the following-
On several occasions the Parish Council have been contacted by residents concerned about vehicles getting stuck on the corner between Kiln Lane and Creamery Lane.
The Council is aware of the hazard and inconvenience this causes. Unfortunately the Parish Council has no powers install signage or other measures to reduce the risk. Previous attempts to get the Highways Authority, Derbyshire County Council (DCC), to install suitable warning signs have been unsuccessful.
However they did suggest that a record be kept every time this happens. This could be used to try again to justify some action.
The Council are asking residents who observe problems on the corner to e-mail the parish Clerk on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.co.uk .
Please include as much information as you can. This could include, but not be limited to:
- Date
- Time of day
- What type of vehicle was it?
- How long any vehicle was stuck?
- Was a recovery vehicle required to move it?
- Was the road beyond the corner blocked?
- Was the vehicle damaged?
- Was any property damaged?
- Was there any other damage?
- A photo if possible.
Even if is quickly resolved please make a report to add to the evidence.
… and don’t assume someone else will report it!
The more reports we get, even of the same incident, the more impact we hope this will have with DCC .
The number of incidents reported will be logged in the Parish Council minutes. When this makes what the Council feels is a compelling case we will write to them again.

Grit Bins

Not sure this is the right forum, but yesterday morning a van got stuck on the ice at Kiln Lane/Creamery Lane.
We helped get it moving using the last of the salt from the Kiln Lane salt bin.
I have reported this to the County Council for a refill.
I don’t know if it’s worth people checking the other Village salt bins before the weather turns again?

A Plea – Please Slow Down
Posted in People, Roads on Friday August 13, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Please can I ask all drivers to slow down when rounding the bend at Dale’s Yard.This afternoon at approx. 5:30 pm, a red car heading out of Parwich in the middle of the road, came round the bend much faster than is appropriate, skidding to get back on his/her side of the road. It’s certainly not the first time: a Tate oil tanker, a big black estate car and another car, all had to take evasive action recently to avoid hitting me whilst I was ‘crawling’ round that bend. Visibility is zero and there is nowhere to escape at that point when driving towards Parwich.
Thanks.
Kind regards,

Collision
Posted in News, Police, Roads on Thursday August 6, 2020| 2 Comments »
Some time between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning someone has driven into our car while it was parked outside our house opposite to Pump Hill. We didn’t hear it happen and no note has been left. (see photos) To hit it going forward would have meant the other vehicle was on the wrong side of the road. But there are no skid marks or damage down the side of the car. Perhaps someone reversed into it? If anyone saw this happen or remembers passing and seeing (or not) the damage caused then any information would be gratefully received. Or if you have seen any suspicious new damage on any other vehicle!

Traffic
Posted in Roads on Tuesday June 30, 2020| Leave a Comment »
We received this from John V. But I’m sure it echoes a lot of people’s thoughts. We’re all using more delivery services than ever right now and the drivers must be under huge pressure to meet delivery targets.
“Can I just ask that everyone reminds themselves of the dangers of walking on roads through the village. I don’t mean to patronise, but I’m becoming increasingly concerned at the speed of some and mostly delivery vans entering the village from Alsop. I’ve also seen a sudden trend for reversing vans and lorries around here, where there are no pavements, sometimes pretty quickly.I’m guessing these behaviours will be seen elsewhere in the village and particularly at a time when children are not at school, it would be great to know that they too had been reminded of the need to be aware of traffic, even, but maybe especially in a place like Parwich. Thanks…”
