Two nominations have been listed for nomination for Parwich Parish Council:

Michael Andrew Edge, 2 Gibbons Bank, Parwich

Philip Michael Kirkham,The Orchards, Parwich

Without a quorate of 3 , it would appear that the number of nominations means that no parish council can be formed.

Well done to Mick and Phil for standing.

Sign Removed

The person who took the sign from 1 chestnut cottage last evening, you obviously didnt see the camera . I will press charges against you, unless the sign is returned to the place from which it was taken. I understand it was possibly a prank . Best return it before the boys in blue pay you a visit.

Parwich Phone Book

To add your name to the ever increasing number of people joining the Parwich Telephone Directory, please contact me on 191 or fiona@nethergreenfarm.plus.com.

This isn’t a new idea as I have recently seen a copy of an earlier edition which has been dated to between 1954 and 1958. Many of those phone numbers are still the same.

Fiona

Just to clarify, this is a paper only directory which will be made available only to those who are included in it. It will NOT be available via parwich.org

Our Scottish Independence Poll

The Poll here at parwich.org on Scottish independence provoked a vigorous response. At 3pm today (Wednesday 17th September), the results were as follows:

Do you have significant Scottish links?

  • 38% Yes
  • 62% No

Would Scottish independence impact on us here (in the Peak District)?

  • 47% Yes
  • 41% No
  • 12% Don’t know

Should Scotland be an independent country?

  • 36% Yes
  • 63% No
  • 1% Don’t know

This indicates a significant minority (38%) of our respondents have strong ties to Scotland, that overall we are split on the impact of Scottish independence on us here in the Peak District (a difference of 6%), but that a majority (63%) of us want the Union to continue. Well tomorrow is the actual referendum day and we will find out on Friday what Scotland votes.

you can still vote in this poll by clicking here.

We in the Blog Team thought it might be interesting to know our readers thoughts on the possibility of Scottish independence and whether you think it could impact on our small part of the Derbyshire Peak District.

Is Scotland significant in your personal or work life (eg Are you from Scotland? Have you lived there or plan to live there in the future? Do you have property or investments in Scotland? Do you have family there? Is your work linked to Scotland? … … …)

If Scotland votes ‘Yes’ to leaving the United Kingdom, do you think it will make any difference to our life here in the Peak District?

How would you cast your vote if you could take part in the Scottish referendum?
