Thank you Jim for this reminder:

I would just like to make it clear that comments were invited by Pegasus, agents for Shared Access, in relation to the proposed mast application.

Comments are invited by Rachel Morrison, Planning Assistant, at the following email address:

Rachel.morrison@pegasuspg.co.uk

Telephone comments were also invited on 01454 625 945

I would just like to make sure that any concerned residents of the village had this information to hand.

Pegasus have requested that comments are received by them by this coming Friday, 16/09/16 if possible, so that they can be taken into account during the design stage of the proposal. Whether such comments would help them amend their application to take into account any protests is not known by me at this moment.

Click here to see the consultation letter.

The Blog Team added: This consultation is on behalf of the mobile phone company, and any proposed mast would need to be agreed by the landowner, and then go through the normal Peak Park planning procedure. Our Parish Council are sharing information promptly on this and [Ammended 12/9/16] “Once all the information is available an open session will also be set up in the Memorial Hall. Residents will be able to see the same information as the councillors. Councillors will be present so that residents can share their own views with them.”.

Thank you to the Parish Council for this update:

Some members of the Parish Council have met with a representative of Shared Access to obtain more information about the potential for a mobile phone mast in the village. They will be receiving further information shortly and have requested it in electronic form so that it can be shared widely. The blog and the Parish Council website will be used to do this.

Once all the information is available an open session will also be set up in the Memorial Hall. Residents will be able to see the same information as the councillors. Councillors will be present so that residents can share their own views with them.

It is not the Parish Council that will decide whether a mast will be built. This will be done through the normal process of planning applications for the Peak District National Park. The Parish Council would be consulted as part of this process but would not be making the decision.

The Parish Council does have the opportunity to decide whether or not to offer to lease land for the mast to be built on. The purpose of sharing information with residents will be to try and give the best possible understanding of the advantages and disadvantages for residents of them doing this. If the Parish Council does not offer a site for a mast someone else might.

The Parish Council would like to encourage residents to learn as much about these proposals as possible and to feed back their views both for and against the lease of land.

The planned drone survey of a possible location for a mobile phone mast near the tennis courts took place today. We are now waiting to see what, if any, proposals are made.

The drone also flew over the church to inspect the roof. This was not to assess another location for a mobile phone mast.

Thank you to Andrew M who has sent the following information from DDDC:

Dear Parish & Town Councils

I am writing to advise you that we are currently experiencing some difficulties with waste & recycling collections.  Currently due to unforeseen circumstances Serco are experiencing a shortage of resources; therefore some residents maybe experiencing delays with their scheduled collections.  We apologise for any inconvenience that this may be causing and would like to reassure you that we are working with the contractor to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.  There will be collection staff out this Saturday (25th June) clearing some of the missed collections.  The situation will be reviewed on Monday and every effort will be made to clear any outstanding backlog.  There is no change to scheduled collections, residents should still present their containers on collection day but Serco are not always managing to finish the rounds which is impacting on the following days collections.

If a collection is missed residents should report it at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/waste or contact the waste helpline 01629 761122 and leave their container (s) at the edge of their property until it has been collected.

Regular updates will be given on the website.

Thank you to Cheryl W for this postitive update on your BT Infinity and fibre optic broadband:

Do let us know you broadband experiences, so others can decide whether to make changes to their service now the fibre optic cables are in operation. Also I understand there is still a waiting list for new broadband connections in Parwich, so let us know too if you are still experiencing problems.

Some of you may have received a notification card from BT that fibre optic cabling has been installed into the village. This means we can now get BT Infinity broadband service. I rang the number on the card and was offered the following –

Unlimited Infinity 1

Download 35Mbps / Upload 10Mbps

£25 per month plus £49 activation charge

Unlimited Infinity 2

Download 80Mbps/ Upload 20Mbps

£32.50 per month with free activation

This is broadband only, no calls or line rental included.

For comparison with “regular” BT Unlimited Broadband my current speed is around –

Download 20Mbps / Upload 1Mbps

BBC 1 Freeview – is anyone else having problems with the signal on this channel from the Parwich transmitter (East Midlands, channel 24)?

Martin C

I also have been having intermittent reception problems involving at times loss of signal with all the BBC channels this evening on Freeview via the Parwich Transmitter, and also seem to have lost all the new Freeview channels that arrived at the end of August. I ended up going on line to see the programme I wanted.

To find out about how to deal with TV reception problems go to UK Broadcast Transmission and to report specific problems with BBC reception either phone 03700 100123 or go to the BBC website. The BBC website is showing that there were problems with the Parwich transmitter over the last few days and that ‘reduced quality’ is currently reported this evening.

I have been having problems with TV reception, via an indoor aerial, on all the BBC Freeview channels since at least Sunday. It has been deteriorating throughout the week, from heavily pixilated images to my TV saying there is no signal. All the other channels are perfectly fine.

I use the signal from the relay transmitter located in the Village. The BBC website says there are no reported problems (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/ ). I reported the problem this morning online, but have had no feedback as their online form allows no means of identifying yourself. At 6pm today, the TV transmition is still impaired for the BBC channels and their website is still saying no faults have been reported.

Is anyone else having problems with BBC reception? I will phone the BBC in the morning if the problem persists.

NB has anyone also being having Broadband problems as my BT download speeds are consistently slow at present prohibiting the use of BBC iPlayer?
