Bin collection
Posted in Services on Thursday January 19, 2023| Leave a Comment »
DON’T PANIC! If you have not yet had your scheduled bin collection this week, please leave your bin out.
Due to the high volumes of waste following the Christmas period, vehicles are filling up much more quickly than normal.
We will therefore be running a catch up service *this Saturday* to try to bring up to date any collections that have been missed or remain outstanding.

Wifi Advice Needed
Posted in Services on Tuesday August 30, 2022| 1 Comment »
We’ve recently moved into the village…Rowan Cottage and love it. Everyone so friendly and welcoming.
We need help with WiFi. We are going to need some kind of system because it is currently frankly awful, I’m guessing because of the thick walls.
I need for my business and we are also having Sky Glass fitted next week.
Is there anyone in the village or anyone known that could advise us what we need to have to be able to access WiFi asap?
We are not very technical btw!!!
Thank you very much

There has been some disruption to collections due to strike action by Serco crews however best information I have is that domestic waste (grey bin) is being prioritised so we should get a normal collection.

Have your say on council services
Derbyshire Dales District Council is undertaking a Resident Survey this month, asking for views on the services it delivers and how local people feel about the area. The information will help the District Council to improve the policies and services it delivers while finding out what matters most to local people.
A randomly selected group of residents are receiving a copy of the survey through the post, which they can complete online if they wish. Members of the District Council’s online panel of residents will also receive a link to complete the survey.
Any resident can also complete the survey now at https://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/residentsurvey21
A District Council spokesperson said: “This year’s survey has two new features. First, residents will be asked to record their views and the reasons for them, as well as selecting a graded response. Second, we are requesting postcodes information to assist us in identifying the areas where we need to focus our actions and to follow up on any points raised.”
For more information about the survey contact Derbyshire Dales District Council’s Policy Officer on 01629 761240 during office hours [Tuesday to Thursday].
The spokesperson added: “The Derbyshire Dales Online Panel is one of the ways in which we listen to residents and people who work in the Dales. Around 950 people have already joined the Panel and we’d love to have more.
“Panel members respond to online surveys on topics that are of interest to them and receive fewer than six surveys a year.” To join the Panel go to www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/enewsreg

Bins and Parking News
Posted in Services on Wednesday July 28, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Bins
To enable Derbyshire Dales District Council to catch up on all missed waste and recycling collections to date – including excess recycling – councillors have agreed to suspend from this coming Monday (2 August) garden waste collections for a period of 4 weeks.
The Council will be contacting all its garden waste subscribers direct to confirm this narrow decision at an extraordinary council meeting last and to offer them, as recompense, a £15 discount of next year’s subscription price, which had been set at £50. Any new subscribers will pay the full amount.
Suspending garden waste collections for a maximum of 4 weeks (the equivalent of 2 collections) will release 5 drivers to focus instead on catching up with missed collections of household waste and recycling. Last night’s meeting also agreed to the cost of leasing an additional collection vehicle to help cater for an increasing number of subscriptions to the garden waste collection service until 31 March 2022.
In the meantime, as a temporary measure, we’re continuing to ask residents to mix food waste in their usual household waste (grey) bin – or sacks (if they are not on a bins round). To help prevent animals ripping open sacks in search of food waste, residents on sack rounds can put their usual food caddy out alongside their refuse sacks if they wish, but food inside the caddy does need to be contained within a sealed bag.
Please report a missed collection on our website at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/missedcollection
Parking
Parking will be free after 2pm throughout the month of September in Derbyshire Dales District Council’s car parks in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock, Matlock Bath and Wirksworth – to help stimulate town centres in the recovery from the Covid pandemic.
The estimated £45,000 cost of encouraging shoppers to return to town centres by suspending charges after 2pm in September will be met from the District Council’s Covid Funding Reserve. A report to Tuesday’s meeting estimated the cost of making parking completely free throughout September in the car parks in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock, Matlock Bath and Wirksworth at more than £200,000.

DDDC Recommendations for Waste Collection Problems
Posted in Services on Wednesday July 21, 2021| Leave a Comment »
DDDC has published it’s recommendations to deal with the current waste collection crisis. This includes a 4 week suspension of garden waste collections.

Bins Update
Posted in Local government, Services on Tuesday July 20, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Another update from DDDC, make of it what you will –
Some better news: All scheduled household waste and recycling rounds are collecting today.
There’s a possibility some rounds may not be completed due to the sheer volume of recycling going into the trucks – we’ll report on this later.
Serco are still some staff down which means 4 out of today’s scheduled 5 food waste rounds are operating.
We do also have a catch-up crew out recovering some missed collections, though, as you are well aware, the catch-up is going to take some time, for which we again apologise.
We can confirm also that an extraordinary full meeting of the District Council on 27 July will debate the ongoing waste and recycling issues. We’ll promote the report to that meeting on all our communications channels as soon as it is finalised and published, including via this e-newsletter.
A reminder that you can report a missed collection at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/missedcollection
Bins Update from DDDC
Posted in Local government, Services on Monday July 19, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Our communication on Friday (16 July) about planned emergency measures to help alleviate current waste & recycling disruptions in the Dales has prompted a lot of resident feedback, which we appreciate and are listening to.
It has also given us a more detailed insight into the backlog of collections – especially recycling – in some areas of the district.
Because of this it could be necessary to adjust the measures announced – due to start on 26 July – and we have called an emergency meeting of the full council next week to discuss all options.
The report to this meeting will be published on our website no later than tomorrow.
In the meantime we regretfully announce that Serco have reported further staff absences today that they are unable to cover due to the continuing national driver shortage. It means some rounds could not operate today; the full list of the areas affected can be viewed on our website. Some food waste rounds were also not completed.
We appreciate that our apologies are not enough right now, but please be assured that we are exploring all possible angles to get this service back to the excellent levels you rightly expect.

Bin Collections
Posted in Services on Saturday July 3, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Unfortunately there continues to be disruption to waste and recycling collections in some areas of the Dales as a result of the national shortage of HGV drivers and we apologise to those residents affected. Crews will be working on Saturday to try to clear the back log of waste, but it is unlikely they will be able collect all missed bins on Saturday. Please leave your containers out for collection.
We are working closely with our contractor Serco’s senior managers to come up with a solution and a number of steps have already been taken including increasing the rates of pay for drivers, trying to source HGV drivers from other contracts and councils and the upskilling of staff. Whilst progress is being made, at this stage there is no quick fix but please be assured we will continue to work hard on this until normal standards of service have been resumed.

Please Report Dog Fouling
Posted in Local government, Pets of Parwich, Services on Tuesday June 1, 2021| Leave a Comment »
Derbyshire Dales residents urged to report dog-fouling hot-spots
Derbyshire Dales District Council is urging residents to report areas in the district where dog fouling is causing a problem.
“Although 9 out of 10 dog owners pick up dog mess after their pets, that still leaves a significant number who don’t,” said Councillor Chris Furness, Chairman of the Community & Environment Committee at the District Council.
“We’re encouraging residents to help us by putting dog mess in the bin and reporting problem areas to us online.”
Community Development Officer, Emma Mortimer added:
“With the information from residents we will target those areas with the worst problems by patrolling and talking to dog owners to encourage responsible behaviour and putting up additional signs.
“To help encourage dog owners to pick up after their pets we are providing dog-mess bag dispensers on our land where we know there is a problem. Bagged dog mess can be disposed of in any litter bin.”
Residents can report a litter or dog fouling hot spot via an online form available at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/reportdogmess
