Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
** The last two weeks we have seen severe disruption to the delivery of heating oil due to the weather and supply of product. If you are low on oil and may run out this group order will not be suitable so please do not add your order – we are not be able to organise quick deliveries. **
Please note the delivery time. Delivery times are subject to weather and supply conditions. Please do order early and allow plenty of time for delivery to avoid any problems and please check you tank levels, we are all using a lot more fuel than normal. It would be worth a visual inspection as we have had many reports of meters giving false levels over the last few weeks.
If you like the rate, please do spread the word. By grouping our orders, we can also substantially reduce harmful diesel emissions, CO2 and damage and danger to our roads and villages.
We have secured a rate and our clubs group oil order terms for this weekend are as follows:
Rate: £0.5495 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

| Last chance to have your say to help shape the Peak District National Park |
| People who care about the Peak District National Park and how it is managed are being asked to take part in the final round of public consultation on the National Park Management Plan 2018-2023.
The National Park Management Plan is a partnership plan for the place which lasts for five years. It describes for everyone what the main issues and priorities are whilst encouraging everyone to work together to conserve and enhance the special qualities of the Peak District National Park, for the benefit of all. People are being asked to comment on the revised special qualities, which are: The six areas of impact people are being asked about are: The consultation questions can be found at www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/npmpconsultation which will be live from 26 Feb.

It has been a tough time for the local wildlife during the snow storms. This little treecreeper is continuing to feed off fallen sunflower hearts on our lawn, I’ve never witnessed behavior like this before.

We have received the following from DCC:
Essential safety work on an Ashbourne road continues
Our work to repair an Ashbourne road continues this week as bad weather delays repairs.
Extensive work on the B5056 between Bent Lane, Tissington Ford and its junction with the A515 at Fenny Bentley is now scheduled to continue later into this month.
The road was closed, initially for three weeks, on February 12. The closure is to enable a two-and-a-half mile stretch of the road to be patched. This is to make the road − prone to cracking because of its proximity to a landslip − safe.
It had been due to reopen yesterday (Sunday 4 March 2018) but work has been delayed because of the unusually difficult winter conditions.
We’ve extended the closure − until Thursday 29 March 2018 – so repairs can be completed.
Our Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, Councillor Simon Spencer said:
“We acknowledge this is not the best time of the year to carry out this work but we were not confident that the road would remain safe until the summer. We consulted with the local quarries and hauliers and they advised us that doing the work now would cause less disruption to their businesses.”
Councillor Spencer added:
“We’ve now asked for the closure to be extended until the end of March but we will endeavour to work as quickly as possible, weather permitting, to try and get this road opened sooner. I’d like to thank motorists for their patience while this essential work is carried out.”
Signposted diversions are in place. The diversion from Ashbourne is along the A515 to Newhaven, along the A5012 Via Gellia to Grangemill, the B5056 to the point of the road closure and vice versa.

Refilling of most grit bins is the responsibility of the Highways Authority, Derbyshire County Council. Anyone seeing a bin that needs refilling can call them using the phone number on the bin or make a request via their website. The bin can be identified by a number on it or from a map on the website.
It does no harm if more than one person reports the same bin.
It is possible that there will be delays in refilling bins during the current weather.I have checked the following.
Creamery Lane triangle and the School have plenty.
Pump Hill and Kiln Lane were empty and I have left some of the bags held by the Parish Council for pavement clearance to provide some cover until they are refilled.
The bin at the top of Creamery Lane near Barn cottage is filled by the Parish Council and has two unopened bags of grit by it.
The bin on Smithy Close is the responsibility of Waterloo Housing.
The bin at the telephone exchange is the responsibility of BT and is for their own use.
Please note that the grit in yellow bins is for use on public roads only.
Regards
Andrew Martin

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
** We have seen a big jump in rates this week and only a few suppliers have bid for club orders today, many are reporting they are fully booked for the two to three weeks **

Please note the delivery time. Delivery times are long and subject to weather and supply conditions.

Catch up bin collections are due to start tomorrow weather permitting. Although that means they are then due to collect our grey general waste and food caddies tomorrow, we are not optimistic that the weather here in Parwich will permit this.
Click here for more info from Derbyshire Dales site
The catch-up of missed waste & recycling collections will start tomorrow (Saturday 3 March), assuming that road conditions have improved. Tomorrow crews will start to collect grey bins/blacks sacks/ food waste and recycling that have been missed this week – starting with Wednesday’s outstanding collections and then Thursday’s and Friday’s. On Monday scheduled grey bin/black sack/food and recycling collections are due to take place. Food waste missed on recycling day this week will be collected next week as scheduled with grey bin/black sacks.

Judith, John and all the family wish to thank everyone who attended Mary’s funeral service, for all the cards and kind messages of sympathy received during their recent sad loss.
Also thank you for the generous donations received amounting to £1200, which has been split between The British Heart Foundation UK and Dovedale Friends of Cancer Research UK.
