Bar table for sale

Ellie B is selling a bar type table (originally from Dunelm I believe in 2021). 120cm long, 45 cm wide and 90 cm high. 2 stools to come with it.

There are some minor, tiny white flecks of paint on the wood but they are barely noticeable and I am going to try and get rid of every last remnant but may be a few little bits left.

Hoping to sell them all together for £50. Ellie’s number is 07508 340709.

Oil Club Price

This weekend’s rate is £0.5379 ppl* for the Parwich, Tissington & Bradbourne Heating Oil Club

Oil prices continue an upward trajectory this week with Brent crude just over $73 a barrel as US Tariffs spark oil supply concerns. However the Pound continues to hold up against the US Dollar, reducing some of the price rises of kerosene to UK customers.

Top up before the Easter rush: With Easter less than a month away, we recommend ordering soon if you wish to beat the increased demand and delivery timelines around Easter.
Estimated delivery times are currently 7 to 12 working days from when club orders close on Monday, and are subject to weather and supply conditions. If you are low, or have less than 6 weeks supply left, this order is not suitable.

Message from Open reach

pleased to announce that we have now built Full Fibre broadband to over 250 premises across the Parwich exchange area. Delighted to announce that this also includes the villages of Pikehall and Alsop en le Dale. Recently, through support of the community we secured a significant number of pledges which has enabled us to deliver services to Parwich and Alsop.

Our intention is to continue to build over the coming weeks and months, however we are still a bit short of our funding target which means there is a risk that we may not be able to provide Full Fibre services to the other communities and isolated premises connected to the Parwich exchange. Openreach encourage people to pledge their support for the scheme if they are intending to order services.

The pledge site remains open Connect My Community (openreach.com), people who haven’t pledged yet, but intend to order Full Fibre services, can pledge prior to ordering as this will help obtain the required funding and hopefully hit the target. See further information attached about the scheme.   

Appreciating that most people are unclear about the monthly costs once Full Fibre services become available so it would be worth reaching out to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see what packages are available. A lot of ISPs will upgrade their customers to Full Fibre at no additional charge once it becomes available so worth checking with them. A number of people have already ordered services in the village of Parwich so hopefully people have started to mention this through word of mouth etc.

A link to a list of providers using our network is below.

FTTP providers | Openreach

In terms of areas that have been enabled, people can check whether Full Fibre services are available by following the link below and inserting their postcode and selecting their address. If the response confirms Full Fibre Broadband available as per example below, then they can contact their ISP to upgrade. Some providers may have already contacted their customers.

Fibre Checker (openreach.com)

Thank you for supporting the scheme.
