Dear all,

Pleased to advise that we have recently enabled nearly 150 premises with Full Fibre broadband as part of the Parwich exchange scheme. The premises in question are primarily located in Parwich village and in DE6 1QA, QB, QD, QL, QJ, QW, 1NX, 1QH, 1QG and 1QT postcodes. Please Note: Not all premises in these postcodes are enabled, however we will continue to build our network over the coming weeks and months.

Whilst this is great news for Parwich, we are still hoping to build our new Full Fibre network to neighbouring communities such as Alsop en le Dale and Pikehall, however we are still short of our target costs in order to make this happen.

Our pledge site remains open Connect My Community (openreach.com), so people who haven’t pledged yet, but intend to order Full Fibre services soon, we would appreciate if they could pledge prior to ordering as this will help us obtain the required funding and hopefully hit our target. I also attach some information which can be shared electronically through email and social media and I would be grateful if you could help promote and raise awareness of the scheme.   

We appreciate that most people are unclear about the monthly costs once Full Fibre services become available so it would be worth reaching out to their Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see what packages are available. A lot of ISPs will upgrade their customers to Full Fibre at no additional charge once it becomes available so worth checking with them.

A link to a list of providers using our network is below.

FTTP providers | Openreach

In terms of areas that have been enabled, people can check whether Full Fibre services are available by following the link below and inserting their postcode and selecting their address. If the response confirms Full Fibre Broadband available as per example below, then they can contact their ISP to upgrade. Some providers may have already contacted their customers.

I trust this is welcomed news for the village and I look forward to bringing more good news in 2025. I would be more than happy to attend and provide an update at one of your next Parish Council meetings in the New Year. If this is of interest, please let me know and advise of suitable dates.

In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Regards

Robert Rowan

So that’s a wrap from the Parwich Carnival and Recreation Committee for 2024. We would like to thank everyone for supporting all the events throughout the year and we wish you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

The Carnival and Recreation Committee would like to offer their heartfelt thanks to Sarah and Jonathan Hotchin for their very kind donation of the village Christmas tree and also their commitment for future years. It is a testament to the local farmers that surround and support our village. A big thank you for not only the tree but helping with the erection and we look forward to your support throughout the upcoming years.

We would also like to thank Barbara and Alan Lowes for their ongoing support with the power supply which they have generously done for many years. If Hotch is as good as these two we are onto a winner.

Happy Christmas and see you at the Christmas Carols tomorrow. Lucy M

Thelma is a 93 year old widow, who like many of us, has been scammed by a telephone caller and lost £10,000.  Not one to put up with the deception, and with the help of her grandson, she sets out, Mission Impossible style, to catch the perpetrators. This critically acclaimed comedy film is based on the real life experience of the director’s grandmother. Starring June Squibb, who after 70 years playing supporting roles, and at the age of 94 takes on her first leading role.  Movie Review: “Thelma” an Early Contender for the Year’s Best Comedy

Guardian Ninety-four-year-old Squibb is great as a woman going after phone scammers – with the help of the late Shaft star Richard Roundtree – in a robust feelgood comedy

I am disgusted to find this on my drive way this morning.

If you are the dog owner you should be ashamed. 

If it is human – you need medical help!

PRESS RELEASE

21 November 2024

2024/059

Parking will be free again across the Derbyshire Dales in the District Council’s car parks in the run up to Christmas.

In a scheme designed to boost trade, for the 17th year in a row it will be free to park in any District Council pay and display car park after 2pm throughout December.

Free parking in December comes on top of residents’ parking concessions that allow local people to park free every day of the year up to 11am and after 3pm. Free parking permits were issued to all 34,000 households across the Derbyshire Dales back in March.

It means Dales residents have free parking for 21 hours each day over the festive period, which helps local people and local traders.

Again this year, to support the Council’s 2030 net zero carbon emissions target, the authority is also urging visitors and residents to support Dales businesses by making best use of public transport, car sharing, cycling and walking where possible.

EV charge points are available in four of the council’s car parks:

• · Market Place, Wirksworth – one charger accommodating two spaces/vehicles at any one time
• · Edgefold Road, Matlock – four chargers accommodating 8 spaces/vehicles
• · Shawcroft car park, Ashbourne – four chargers accommodating 8 spaces/vehicles
• · New Street, Bakewell – four chargers accommodating 8 spaces/vehicles

Cycle racks are also available in the District Council’s car parks in Bakewell’s Granby Road, Eyam, Over Haddon, Matlock Bath’s Station Yard, with two in Matlock at the Lido and Station car parks. Cycle lockers are available at Ashbourne Leisure Centre

Info provided by Derbyshire Dales District Council
