DCC Flood Assistance
Posted in Environment, Housing, Services, Weather on Tuesday August 18, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Helping residents to prepare for floods at any time of year
The county had summer floods in June 2007 and July 2012 which caused serious and costly damage to some properties. Derbyshire County Council is now supplying free packs of sandbags through many of their libraries in addition to other collection points.
Sandbags can offer some protection against flood water entering a property. If the water does get in they can be used for damage limitation by diverting water away from more vulnerable parts of the property. They need to be filled and ready for use rather than trying to fill them as any flood water rises.
DCC’s Cabinet Member for Health and Communities Councillor Dave Allen said:
“Floods can happen at any time of year and we want to help residents be prepared, particularly those who live in areas most at risk.
“Our emergency planning team will provide support as usual but the new system will allow householders to take steps themselves to protect their homes and help prevent flood damage.
“Having sandbag collection points in 15 of our libraries across the county means people will easily be able to get their own supplies.”
Residents can get a free pack of 10 empty sandbags and supporting information from the following libraries:
- Alfreton
- Ashbourne
- Bakewell
- Bolsover
- Chapel-en-le-Frith
- Clay Cross
- Clowne
- Dronfield
- Eckington
- Hayfield
- New Mills
- Ripley
- Swadlincote
- Whaley Bridge
- Woodville.
Packs are limited to one per household but requests for further packs will be considered in appropriate cases. The supporting information included in each pack includes a public health flooding advice leaflet, advice on how best to lay the sandbags, where to get supplies of sand and what further support DCC can give.
Residents who are unable to get to a library collection point can request a pack.
Find out more about how to protect properties from flooding.

ET visited Parwich Wakes
Posted in Environment, Photography, Wakes, Weather on Tuesday July 7, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Apologies for the delay in posting these photos by David G submitted last Thursday, but we had to wait for approval from the MOD and NASA before posting:
NB: MOD (Master OddFellow Drinkers) and NASA (National Agency Supping Alcohol) are certain that this is an unidentified flying object. One in ten Californians have been abducted by aliens, what is more worrying: what it says about Calinornians or what it says about aliens? What are your thoughts on what was ET’s favourite event at this year’s Wakes?

Snow falling
Posted in Roads, Weather on Thursday March 26, 2015| Leave a Comment »
5am – there is a covering of snow in the Village, with more on higher ground. Buxton Weather Watch report there is over an inch in Buxton. More snow is possible over the next few hours but sunshine is forecast by this afternoon with today’s maximum temperatures getting up to around 8°C, so it is not likely to last.
However, take care on the roads this morning and if you meet any difficulties do let other readers know through the comments below.
(No road problems or school closures are currently (5.30am) reported on the County Council Snow Information page of their website.)

A timely gap in the clouds
Posted in Environment, Weather on Friday March 20, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Well, surprisingly there was a gap in the clouds just at the maximum of the eclipse.
Thank you Cheryl W for sending us this ‘Villager Jim’ photo.
(Added 12.30, have found out that ‘Villager Jim’ is an Eyam based photographer, so though looking pretty much as the eclipse did from Parwich, this photo is likely to have been taken from a little further north. To find out more about Villager Jim and his work click here to see his Facebook page. It is well worth checking out and if you are a Facebook member clicking his ‘like’ button.)
Are you ready for the solar eclipse today?

This is a picture of my niece, Emma Hacking, following the BBC’s advice on how to safely watch the solar eclipse using a colander.
Hopefully something to make you smile on a Friday morning
Friday’s Eclipse
Posted in Environment, Weather on Thursday March 19, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Just in case you have missed the hype, or have been overwhelmed by information on
- Vernal equinoxes (corrected to – for this year 10.45pm Friday 20th March), this is the mid point between the longest and shortest days, when night and day are approximately the same length.
- Super moons (moonrise tomorrow Friday 6.05am), occur when the moon orbits closest to the Earth, meaning this is when it appears largest from Earth. Tomorrow morning sees a new/crescent moon, click here for a sun and moon timetable for Derby.
- Solar eclipses occur when the moon travels in front of the sun. Tomorrow morning’s partial eclipse sees for our area at its maximum the moon obscuring some 90% of the sun.
here is the timing of tomorrow’s partial solar eclipse:
| Eclipse Timing | |||
| Day | Time | Event | Location |
| Fri 20th | 8.30 to 10.40am | Solar Eclipse 90% maximum at aprox 9.30am |
UK |
With some lovely clear weather this afternoon, let’s hope there is a similar break in the clouds tomorrow morning. Click here for the Met Office information relating to tomorrow’s eclipse. Also for instructions on eye safety when observing the sun and the eclipse click here.
Promising start to the day
