DDDC to Discuss Reopening Toilets
Posted in Corona, Services on Friday May 29, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Emergency Committee to discuss markets and public toilets
The possible reopening of public toilets and the popular Bakewell stall market will be discussed by Derbyshire Dales District Council on 11 June.
The Emergency Committee “virtual” meeting will be broadcast live on the District Council’s YouTube channel.
The Prime Minister announced at the weekend that outdoor markets can reopen in an easing of Government coronavirus lockdown measures.
At the 11 June meeting, the Council, which is currently consulting with licensed stallholders, will present an amended market layout that takes into account coronavirus social distancing requirements.
Also on the agenda is an update on the 11 public toilets operated by the Council, which, during the lockdown to date, have remained closed. Risk assessments have been carried out and officers have made it clear that the facilities cannot be reopened until the safety of users and its own cleaning staff can be assured.
Public participation at meetings is currently suspended and members of the public are asked to read the reports first – available online from 4 June at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/committee – before submitting any questions.
After that date, questions can be submitted to the meeting no later than 12 noon on 10 June by email to committee@derbyshiredales.gov.uk, by post to Democratic Services, Derbyshire Dales District Council, Town Hall, Matlock DE4 3NN or by phone during working hours to 01629 761300.
DDDC Garden Waste Appeal
Posted in Gardens, Local government, Services on Thursday May 28, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Appeal to residents as Dales prepares for garden waste collection to restart
Derbyshire Dales District Council is appealing for residents’ continued patience and understanding when garden waste collections restart from Monday 1 June.
To ensure that rounds are completed and some households don’t miss out, no additional garden waste will be taken over and above the usual bin-load.
No more than five sacks will be taken in a single collection from households that use compostable sacks rather than bins.
The District Council agreed at an Emergency Committee meeting last week to share the cost with contractor Serco of extra vehicles and staff needed to restart garden waste collections.
Since the end of March the collections have been suspended to enable reduced crews due to coronavirus impacts to prioritise household waste and recycling rounds.
A District Council spokesperson said: “We know our residents absolutely understand that we are still in an emergency situation and that the restarted garden waste collections can only work efficiently if the catch-up happens gradually. That’s why we are appealing to households to only put out for collection the amount of garden waste they would in normal circumstances, ensuring that the bin lid is properly closed. We cannot take any additional garden waste right now.”
Residents can check on their collection date using the online postcode calendar at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/whenismycollection
Food waste collections are currently fortnightly rather than weekly and will continue to happen with residents’ scheduled household waste collections.

Lestor Lowe?

I imagine that with more places open there will not be much of a call for a delivery from Lestor Lowe, however if you would like a delivery please can you let me know by Wednesday and I can see if there is enough interest.

Green Bin Debate
Posted in Gardens, Local government, Services on Thursday May 14, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Our new Emergency Committee will meet for the first time next week to discuss measures that need to be put in place to enable garden waste collections to re-start in the district.
Green waste collections have been suspended during the lockdown to enable household waste and recycling collections to be prioritised due to the council’s waste and recycling contractor being impacted by coronavirus-related staffing issues.
Staff resources have been stretched not only by coronavirus shielding and self-isolation, but by social distancing requirements that mean bin crews are having to travel to locations in separate vehicles.
A report to next Thursday’s Emergency Committee – to be published on Monday – is likely to state that garden waste collections can only restart if the council is prepared to contribute towards the cost of additional agency staff.
The meeting will be broadcast live on the District Council’s YouTube channel.
Parking Charges are Back
Posted in Local government, Roads, Services on Thursday May 14, 2020| 1 Comment »
Parking charges to be reintroduced in the Dales
Charges will be reintroduced in Derbyshire Dales District Council’s pay and display car parks this weekend following the Government’s decision to relax coronavirus travel restrictions.
The District Council suspended charges at the start of the lockdown to help local residents to make any essential journeys during the early stages of the crisis.
Charges will apply again from this Saturday after the authority revealed it has lost around £375,000 in car parking revenues since suspending charges at the end of March. But Dales residents can continue to park for free 19 hours every day using their resident parking permit.
A Council spokesperson said: “Suspending charges was a step we wanted to take to help our residents in the first months of the crisis, but the Government’s decision to effectively open up the Dales to day trippers means we have to re-impose controls on our car parks, particularly the short stay car parks in our busy town centres.
“While we are currently appealing to anyone contemplating a trip to the Derbyshire Dales to think twice because of the potential impact on our communities and reduced local services, we have to accept that, like it or not, some people will travel. Indeed some of our car parks have been at capacity over the past two days.
“We hope that residents will understand that while we have done our best to support their essential journeys by making parking free during the lockdown to date, the resulting loss of income will have long term impacts on the Council’s finances and our ability to sustain the services we deliver for local people unless this situation is quickly addressed. Our stance is in accordance with actions being taken by other authorities in response to the Government’s new guidelines.”
While necessary work began today (Thursday) to put up signage and reconfigure the pay and display machines at around 50 car parks across the district, charges will not be enforced until Saturday, giving local people time to readjust.

Bin collections update – Tuesday 14 April
A reminder that all waste collections are one day later than usual this week due to the bank holiday and our crews will be working this Saturday (18 April).
All household waste collections are again operating to schedule today.
Due to staffing and social distancing issues 3 of the usual 5 recycling rounds are operating today. Read more about today’s recycling rounds >>
Please note that Serco aim to restart normal recycling collections from tomorrow (15 April) but do not currently have the resources to return for any collections missed already. They will collect additional recycling from tomorrow but please check how to present excess recycling so it is easily identifiable atwww.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/excessrecycling
Recycling Collection Next Week
Posted in Local government, Services on Thursday April 9, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Normal recycling collections set to restart on 15 April
GOOD NEWS! From the middle of next week Serco aim to resume normal collections of recyclable waste here in Derbyshire Dales, although garden waste collections will remain temporarily suspended.
They will be taking as much excess recycling waste as they can, utilising the vans that are transporting staff to rounds to meet social distancing regulations. This will keep the recycling trucks operating for longer. Please note how to properly present any excess recycling on DDDC website at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/excessrecycling

Then latest news on bin collections can be found here
From DDDC-
Recycling backlog
We are very conscious that some residents where recycling collections have been missed this week and last are getting concerned about when we might have capacity to react to the backlog as the coronavirus crisis continues to impact on this service.Please be aware that a contingency plan will be announced very soon that seeks to address how recycling collections will happen during this emergency situation.
In the meantime our appeal to households is that you stockpile any recycling rather than being tempted to burn it – which is bad for the environment – or to dispose of it in any other way.
Your continued patience and understanding in these exceptional times is much appreciated.

Bin collections update – Wednesday 1 April
The bins situation today is that household waste collections continue as scheduled, but there are no garden rounds, food is being collected on the grey bin/black sack rounds and only one of the usual five recycling crews is out collecting.
Household waste collections remain a priority for our reduced crews.
More about today’s scheduled recycling rounds >
Looking at the website it looks like we won’t get a collection today

Food Waste Reminder

We have received the following from DDDC:
Food waste
A reminder that due to the coronavirus outbreak we are now collecting your food waste *fortnightly* on your scheduled household waste collection day.
If you are running out of the biodegradable food caddy liners we supply, you can use instead any biodegradable bag that conforms to BS:EN13432 standard displaying the logo in the middle of the photo shown.
In the current circumstances we are also happy for you to put food waste direct into your kerbside caddy (it may need washing out afterwards) or add your kitchen caddy to your kerbside collection.
Thank you.
Bin Collections – more information
Posted in Local government, Services on Wednesday March 25, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Acute staffing issues caused by the coronavirus outbreak means bin collections in the Derbyshire Dales have been further impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.
Derbyshire Dales District Council announced on Tuesday that staff absences due to self-isolation measures meant garden waste collections would be suspended from Friday – but green waste is now suspended with immediate effect.
Some scheduled recycling collections also didn’t happen on Wednesday as bin crews prioritised general household waste collections.
The District Council does not have the resources to return for any garden and food waste collections missed to date this week.
Food waste will now be collected fortnightly – with household waste – rather than weekly.
Dales residents are being warned to expect further disruptions as the council’s contractor Serco have adopted the Government’s social distancing guidelines, meaning two rather than the usual three staff on each truck.
A full list of service changes due to the coronavirus outbreak is being updated regularly at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/coronavirus
Lestor Lowe Village Delivery Update
Posted in Services on Wednesday March 25, 2020| Leave a Comment »
The delivery from Lestor Lowe will take place on Tuesday/Wednesday. As the delivery charge will be £18 we need enough people on the order to spread the charge. If you can confirm whether or not you want to be part of it by Thursday evening this will give me enough time to confirm to everyone that it is going ahead. The order has to be in on Friday.
You will need to ring and place your order with LL, either paying by card or adding it to your account. Please tell LL that you want to be part of the Parwich special delivery. The delivery charge will be placed on my account and the delivery will come to Nethergreen Farm. When you collect your order from here you can pay me your proportion of the delivery charge.

Archeology Day – Wells & Springs
Posted in Environment, Events, Farming, History, Services, Utilities on Wednesday April 24, 2019| 4 Comments »
Before mains water, local water sources and water management were essential for successful farming and ultimately survival. For example Parwich had an ‘ancient’ water meadow system designed to get grass growing as early as possible in the Spring to feed livestock as early as possible before the Winter feed stores were used up and the beasts had to be slaughtered.
The History Society hopes to undertake an archeology project investigating aspects of water management in our area. At this stage we are gathering what information we can about water usage in our area and also trying to find out what people are most interested in.
Domestic well found at Church Farm
A lot of houses had their own water supply and there was a system of wells and springs serving the community as a whole.
Communal water sources in Parwich, marked with green dots
The communal sources we know about are
- the Village Pump (now the bus shelter)
- Staines trough
- Pump Hill trough (supplied by pump that also took water up to the ‘dew pond’ at the top of the Hall gardens)
- Kiln Lane troughs
- spring below Knob Hall
- step down well at Church Farm (now in Court House garden)
- springs on hillside opposite the Crown Inn, now in the garden of Pool Croft
There may have been other sources used communally such as the covered well behind West View or the step down well by Brook Cottage but we need confirmation of this.
Given mains water arrived here with in living memory, there is potential to gather what information and stories people have, in addition to studying the evidence of remaining features and of old maps.
Nether Green Farm itself has at least two wells, one of which a very unusual design for Derbyshire (so far the only parallels identified are in Cornwall), but also there are seasonal springs that fed the water meadow system and interesting but not yet understood underground water channels and sluices.
Come along on Sunday to perhaps find out where your house used to get its water from, help us map the water sources in Parwich and the surrounding area, share any information you might have, have a look around Nethergreen Farm or even participate in archeological investigations there.
Updated 26/4/19 Come for all or part of the day, 10am to 4pm Sunday 28th April, Nethergreen Farm.

Christmas Trees and Cardboard Recyling
Posted in Local government, Services on Wednesday January 2, 2019| Leave a Comment »
Free Christmas tree recycling in the Dales
From 7 January Derbyshire Dales District Council will be helping local people recycle their real Christmas trees.
All residents have to do is place the tree at the edge of their property on their usual green/recycling collection day by 1 February and the tree will be composted along with other garden materials.
Any tree over 5ft in length must be broken or sawn down to a manageable size, with decorations and plant pots removed. Alternatively, trees can be taken to the nearest household waste recycling centre.
Plain Christmas cards and wrapping paper can be included in residents’ kerbside cardboard and paper recycling to be collected by the District Council’s contractor Serco. Foil-backed and glittery cards and paper should not be included, but placed in general household waste grey bins or black sacks.
Excess recycling can be placed at the side of recycling containers, but residents should make sure it is easily identifiable and suitably contained in a transparent container such as a stacker box rather than a black bag.
Any excess card, paper and magazines must be separated from other excess recycling such as glass, plastics, cans, beverage cartons, aerosols and foil trays. Cardboard should be flattened after removing all staples, packaging tape and polystyrene and bubble wrap. Any pieces that will not fit in a recycling container can be flattened and placed next to the container for collection – large cardboard boxes should be flattened and broken down into smaller pieces no wider than 0.5m to fit the recycling compartment of the collection trucks.
Small waste electrical and electronic equipment can be disposed of at one of the District Council’s electrical recycling banks in car parks at Lido, Matlock; Wirksworth’s Canterbury Road and Bakewell’s Granby Road.
Derbyshire Dales residents can use the online postcode search at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/collectioncalendar to check on their collection cycle, where they can also download and view their 2019 collection calendar.
- Anyone without online access who needs assistance can call the District Council’s Waste Helpline on 01629 761122.
