Advance notice that there will be *no change* to bin collections on the week commencing Bank Holiday Monday 1st May.

The decision to not move collections during this week has been made so that residents are not disrupted when celebrating the King’s coronation on Saturday 6th May and can enjoy street parties etc. without needing to leave access for refuse vehicles.www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/

Garden waste subscriptions open on 23 January

Subscribe from this coming Monday, 23 January, to our 2023/24 garden waste scheme – and your £50 subscription fee could be refunded!

Residents who subscribe before 3rd March will be entered into a draw, with 20 lucky subscribers refunded 1 x £50 subscription fee.

Please note: If you currently pay by direct debit, your subscription will automatically be renewed for 2023/24, at the charge of £50 per subscription.

Bin collection

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

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

No food caddy, put food waste in grey bin.

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
