There is a deep pothole (135mm) beyond Hawkslow farm on the road to the A515. It damaged my tyre- because of the water it is hidden.

Road Conditions
Posted in Police, Roads, Weather on Sunday March 18, 2018| 2 Comments »
The Police are warning motorists to take care on the roads and not to travel on any higher routes. Locally, with a number of crashes yesterday and more snow overnight, the A515 between Newhaven and Buxton is closed this morning.
Also take care on Alsop Lane as the increased traffic due to the temporary closure of the B5056 has churned up the verges with cars getting stuck in the mud when attempting to pass other vehicles. This will be compounded by the muddy areas being hidden by the snow.
For official information check the County Council website:
and for more local information check the Buxton Weather Watch Facebook page:

Do add comments on any local road conditions, any problems and what is passable.
B5056 Repairs
Posted in Roads on Monday March 5, 2018| Leave a Comment »
We have received the following from DCC:
Essential safety work on an Ashbourne road continues
Our work to repair an Ashbourne road continues this week as bad weather delays repairs.
Extensive work on the B5056 between Bent Lane, Tissington Ford and its junction with the A515 at Fenny Bentley is now scheduled to continue later into this month.
The road was closed, initially for three weeks, on February 12. The closure is to enable a two-and-a-half mile stretch of the road to be patched. This is to make the road − prone to cracking because of its proximity to a landslip − safe.
It had been due to reopen yesterday (Sunday 4 March 2018) but work has been delayed because of the unusually difficult winter conditions.
We’ve extended the closure − until Thursday 29 March 2018 – so repairs can be completed.
Our Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, Councillor Simon Spencer said:
“We acknowledge this is not the best time of the year to carry out this work but we were not confident that the road would remain safe until the summer. We consulted with the local quarries and hauliers and they advised us that doing the work now would cause less disruption to their businesses.”
Councillor Spencer added:
“We’ve now asked for the closure to be extended until the end of March but we will endeavour to work as quickly as possible, weather permitting, to try and get this road opened sooner. I’d like to thank motorists for their patience while this essential work is carried out.”
Signposted diversions are in place. The diversion from Ashbourne is along the A515 to Newhaven, along the A5012 Via Gellia to Grangemill, the B5056 to the point of the road closure and vice versa.

Having come back into the village just before 6 pm at -5, the roads are treacherous. Brackendale Lane and Bradbourne Hill are like an Olympic sport. There has been no gritting and getting into the village is hazardous.

B5056 Closure
Posted in Roads on Monday January 29, 2018| Leave a Comment »
We have received the following from DDC:
Essential safety work on an Ashbourne road means three week closure
We’re carrying out extensive work on the B5056 between Bent Lane, Tissington Ford, and its junction with the A515 at Fenny Bentley from Monday 12 February 2018.
The closure will enable a two and a half mile stretch of the road to be patched. This is to make the road − which is prone to cracking because of its proximity to a landslip − safe.
The road is expected to reopen around Sunday 4 March 2018. During the closure the we will also carry out drainage and tree clearance works. And ground surveys will be undertaken to find a long-term solution to the historic landslip.
Councillor Simon Spencer, our cabinet member for highways, transport and infrastructure, said:
“Landslips are a long-standing issue on this road and periodically we have to carry out maintenance and repair work to keep the road useable.”
Councillor Spencer added:
“We appreciate that any road closure causes disruption but this is necessary work to keep the road safe. We will use the closure to carry out additional maintenance and reopen the road as soon as possible.”
Signposted diversions will be in place. The diversion from Ashbourne is along the A515 to Newhaven, along the A5012 Via Gellia to Grangemill, the B5056 to the point of the road closure and vice versa.

Thoughtless Driving?
Posted in Environment, Roads on Monday October 2, 2017| 5 Comments »
Having filled in and reseeded the ruts in the verges in my part of Creamery Lane some three weeks ago, the areas have had to have new earth and grass seed added some five times since then because of either stupidity or bad driving. The newly germinated grass seed does not survive being driven on. Today at lunch time I had to add more soil in three locations, one was obviously an abortive attempt at parking (completely unnecessary as there was plenty of on road space today), although the other locations can only be due to people driving off the road. However this afternoon someone seems to have deliberately driven off the road over part of the repaired area.
Please can people show a basic consideration and refrain from driving over the verges until new grass has been established.

Just a word of caution, the first icy patches of the season are starting to build in places between Bradbourne Mill and the Bentley Brook, also as go out of the village from Pits Lane. As the forecast is for a continued cold snap, they could get quite nasty.

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.
Ashbourne Road Closures
Posted in Roads, Transport on Wednesday August 17, 2016| Leave a Comment »
There is a story in the Ashbourne News Telegraph regarding a month of road closures that are worth noting and perhaps replanning routes through the town. Or you could be like me, read all the advance notices, drive past the signs everyday and then get stuck in a jam in the centre! 😦
A515 Closure

16.00 hours – John B has just come from Buxton and the A515 appears to be closed at Newhaven. “There seemed to be a lot of emergency vehicles around. We were shunted off to Pikehall/ Grangemill”.
