Whisper it quietly but something strange is happening on my mobile!

The O2 mast serving Parwich and neighborhood is expected to be repaired early next week.

Derbyshire Dales MP John Whitby said he had received confirmation from O2 today minutes before he was due to meet Parwich residents to discuss the impact of the three month outage.

Mr Whitby met about 40 Parwich residents at the British Legion who have been without a full O2 service and unable to receive vital messages from doctors, hospitals and banks.

O2 assured Mr Whitby that the “rare part”  for the mast arrived Thursday evening and an engineer will be on site early next week. Some residents questioned why the repair wasn’t an immediate priority after  the lengthy  disruption to residents.

Mr Whitby said in a statement: “It is vital that remote, rural communities have mobile and digital connectivity; this is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

“I have visited Parwich and spoken with residents affected by the significant disruption caused by the outage and extended loss of the O2 signal. Without reliable access to essential services, vulnerable residents are left isolated. Doctors, hospitals, and health centres are unable to contact patients resulting in missed messages and missed appointments.  

“Residents cannot access their bank accounts, or make payments. 

“Local tradespeople are losing business and suffering financial loss. 

“Energy companies are forcing customers onto higher charging rates because meter readings cannot be taken. None of this is acceptable.”

Mr  Whitby added: “I have contacted O2 and been assured that it is now in receipt of the essential element of the mast that provides mobile connectivity. I have also been assured by O2 that a specialist engineer will be visiting the site week commencing 27th October 2025. I will be monitoring developments closely, and continuing to work with residents to ensure they have the mobile and digital connectivity they need and are entitled to.”

Mr Whitby  said he proposed to raise telecoms issues  identified by residents in an an oral of written question to Government ministers. He agreed it was time that the telecoms sector provided  a service comparable with the electricity and water industries that begin repairs with urgency.

Thanks to Richard for sharing this information 

Message from Parwich Hall

The car pictured is partially blocking Parwich Hall front gate. It is reported as having been parked there for a fortnight. Anyone know who it belongs to?

Please could whoever owns the white Peugeot on Parsons Croft kindly move it to the opposite side of the car park where the hedge has been cut or contact Phil K or Lucy M. Phil is trying to arrange the completion of the hedge cutting but this can’t be done till the car is moved. Thank you

Derbyshire Dales MP John Whitby is concerned about the O2 outage in Parwich  which is making life difficult for a significant number of us. He plans to come to the British Legion on Friday 24 October between 11am and midday to hear about the issues his constituents are experiencing. He has been in touch with O2 but, like us, has received no satisfactory explanation for the outage and why it is taking so long to fix. My understanding is that he has been in touch with the appropriate minister at the  Department of Science Innovation and Technology which oversees the sector.

So do come along on Friday 24 October to tell him how the outage is affecting you.

The new film picks up two years after Downton Abbey: A New Era, with much of the film’s action centred on the scandal a divorce.

Elsewhere, the question of Downton’s future is always on the table, with many wondering what will become of the fortune left from the wealthy family of Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham (Elizabeth McGovern).

When Mary finds herself in a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future. Bringing back original cast members, including Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, and Elizabeth McGovern, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale follows the family and their staff as they enter the 1930s and lead Downton Abbey into the future.
