There is a fire that was lit yesterday in the field to the right of White Park, Alsop Road.  It is still smouldering. In this hot weather, I hope it is out completely.

Do you know what your Parish Council does for the village?

Maybe you think that the Council should have done more, less or something differently.

Even if you thought it was just right – Somebody had to do it!

Good, bad or indifferent, the Council only does anything because there are village residents willing to take a turn at being councillors.

Without them the village would lose control of it’s income and expenditure. This would leave responsibility for things such as Parsons Croft, the Village Playgrounds and the Village Greens with Derbyshire Dales District Council or Derbyshire County Council.

There are currently two vacancies on the Parish Council so we need more councillors.

Could you be one of them?

For more information please see this news item on the council’s website.

Brown corner sofa.
Machine washable cushion covers.
Free to collector.

WE MADE IT 🎉🎉. Wakes 2025 you have been awesome. What a week in the sun! It’s been action packed and we are completely exhausted but happy to meet so many friends old and new. We are a truly special village, with some special people and we need to try and maintain that as long as possible.

Wakes would not be possible without the help and support from so many volunteers (Roger, Roy and David to name just a few!), the Carnival and Recreation Committee, the Oddfellows, Kirsty, Jane,Tom and the Sycamore Team and everyone at the Legion. So from me to you thank you. It’s time for a rest now but we will be back in 2026.

Signing off for now with a few of my favourite pictures (credit to Phil Cooke for some of them)….

Due to our dog’s age we have been advised to change her diet. We have an unopened box of her Tails food which I think generally lasts about six weeks.

Free to any good home. 

Available for collection anytime
