It was a great turn out on Saturday, for the first Legion family bike ride for a while. After the 14 mile loop, riders (pictured here on The High Peak Trail near Longcliffe) met back at The Legion for refreshments and to feast on Jo & Jason’s fabulous pizzas.
Fancy joining us for the next one? Keep an eye on the blog and noticeboards for details.

Early bird discount for new garden waste scheme
Early bird discounts are available now for Derbyshire Dales residents subscribing to a new garden waste collection scheme. It costs a discounted £35 for Dales households that subscribe for the 2021/22 year to the garden waste service now – the equivalent of less than 68p a week.
The new scheme, starting on 1 April next year, generates funds to offset the increased cost of the District Council’s new waste and recycling contract, which began last month.
Derbyshire Dales joins more than half of all UK councils now charging residents for garden waste collections. The councils that make a charge include 39 of the 50 authorities most similar to Derbyshire Dales District Council.
In the coming weeks all local households will receive a leaflet delivered by contractor Serco, inviting them to take advantage of the discounted price online at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/gardenwaste There’s also a hotline number for residents without internet access.
The discount offer closes at the end of January 2021, when the subscription price rises to £50. Continue Reading »

Parwich church resource 24/7 and church open Sunday
Instead of our usual gathering tomorrow via Zoom, there is a video on YouTube. In just under 11 minutes there is a reading from Matthew’s Gospel and I (sorry about that!) reflect on that using the title ‘Sin in the Church’. You can access the video anytime – no need to wait until 6pm tomorrow – via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcco9m1D7yY&feature=youtu.be
A reminder (since I’ve written less than usual this week) that the church is open for all (with physical distancing measures) every Sunday 9 – 5.

Please can I alert users of Creamery Lane that my roadside garden wall will be rebuilt over the next two weeks from this Sunday, i.e. between the drive of The Croft/Berrywise and the ‘Egg-shed’.
Thank you for taking extra care.

We have received the following request:
Does anybody know how to find out if there are any records that would show past cricket matches played in Parwich? It’s for a friend of mine, Wayne Ward, his Great-Grandad’s name was Arthur Smith, he had some cricket playing brothers (Les and Lawrence) and his Dad (Charlie Smith) and one or possibly both of his uncles (George Smith and William/Bill Smith) were cricketers too. He is trying to find out if any written records might exist. He has a 1910s or 20s photo which shows his Great Grandad’s Dad and Grandad (team manager), but other than knowing that Arthur Smith and his brothers were cricketing well into the 1940s and probably beyond, he doesn’t know much else! Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you lucy B

The family of a man who died in an incident in Tissington are urging the public to come forward with information to help the investigation into his death. Ian Mellor was found by police and paramedics in a blue Ford Focus in Chapel Lane, Tissington, at around 2.30am on Thursday 9 July. Ian, who was from Bradbourne, was taken to the Royal Derby Hospital where he died on July 21.
Officers are now making enquiries into the hours prior to the 37-year-old being found and his family are urging anyone with information to come forward. Ian’s mother, Sheila, said: “Ian was a much-loved son, brother and partner and was well known in Bradbourne – as well as Ashbourne and Matlock where he was a regular drinker in a number of pubs. He was a hugely social person and his death has come as a huge shock to his family and friends. I know there must be people who saw Ian the night before he died and I would ask you please, for the sake of his family and friends, please come forward and tell the police anything you might know.”
Anyone with who may have seen Ian between 6.30pm on Wednesday 8 July and 2pm on Thursday 9 July is urged to contact Derbyshire police. It is understood Ian was in the Ashbourne and Parwich areas and any drivers with dashcam footage that may have captured a blue Ford Focus, number plate AK08 TRT, are asked to download any footage and store it safely for an officer to view.
Anyone with information can contact Derbyshire police in confidence using any of the below methods, including reference 20*350106 in any correspondence:
• Facebook – send us a private message to /DerbyshireConstabulary
• Twitter – direct message our contact centre on @DerPolContact
• Website – complete the online contact form http://www.derbyshire.police.uk/Contact-Us.
• Phone – call us on 101.
You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

District councillors agreed last night (12 August) to provide extra funding to Freedom Leisure to enable the reopening of Derbyshire Dales leisure centres in Ashbourne, Matlock and Wirksworth with reduced hours and new Covid safety measures. View the meeting again on our YouTube channel. The actual reopening date and operating hours will be announced by Freedom Leisure after a period of mobilisation.
A fourth leisure facility operated on behalf of the council by Freedom – Bakewell Swimming Pool – will remain closed for a further two months after councillors heard that the small size of the facility made current social distancing requirements unworkable.
At the same meeting, councillors agreed to provide financial support to Serco to help the implementation of a new waste & recycling contract. The costs of the unavoidable impact of delays to the delivery of new refuse collection vehicles – associated with manufacturer shutdowns during Covid-19 – are being shared with Serco. Read more >>
