Launch of new Derbyshire Connect bus service
‘Derbyshire Connect’ goes into service on Monday 13 February around the wider Ashbourne area. And for the first week, all passengers can benefit from free travel to any destination.
In advance of its official launch the bus is also going on tour at various venues around Ashbourne and in Wirksworth.
Derbyshire Connect will run along the principles of a ‘Demand-Responsive-Transport (DRT) service − the first of its kind in Derbyshire.This means it can be more flexible than conventional ‘turn up and go’ services. These generally have the same start and end destinations with fixed, timetabled stops along the way.
Journeys on Derbyshire Connect will need to be booked between a week and up to two hours before the time of travel. But because journeys are pre-booked, routes can be planned to cater to individual passengers’ needs meaning many more pick up and drop off points can be offered on different days of the week.
Bookings can be made by calling 01335 342951 or by email at bookings@derbyshireconnect.org.uk
Derbyshire Connect is initially being run as a trial for up to a year. It will be operated by Ashbourne Community Transport and serve villages north of Ashbourne and to the east as far as Wirksworth.
It will run 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 6pm, Saturday. There is no Sunday service.
Any kind of passenger will be eligible to use Derbyshire Connect for any type of journey, including current users of conventional bus services, community transport users, young people, older people, visitors and groups. It may also be used for non-emergency patient transport.
After the initial free travel period fares will be £2 adult single, £3.80 return, £1.20 child single, £2.40 return.
Gold Card holders will travel free-of-charge after 9.30am weekdays and anytime Saturdays. b_line2 cardholders will get 25% discount off adult fares and primary school pupils will pay the appropriate fare or travel free as an entitled student.
Our Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure Councillor Dean Collins, said:
“This is a first for Derbyshire and will provide people with the opportunity to tailor journeys to suit their individual needs. It will be a bus for everyone from passengers needing to get to essential services to residents and visitors wanting to make leisure trips.”Because we have never run this type of service before we are piloting it to see if we need to make any changes but in the longer term the aim is to roll out other Derbyshire Connect services in other rural parts of the county.”
Tour dates for the bus are:
- St Oswald’s Hospital, Ashbourne, Monday 30 January, 9am to 12 noon
- Ashbourne Market Place, Thursday 2 February, 9am to 12 noon
- Shawcroft Car Park, Ashbourne, Thursday 2 February, 1pm to 4pm
- Carsington Water Visitor Centre, Saturday 4 February, 10am to 2pm
- Wirksworth Market Place, Monday 6 February, 9am to 12 noon

Trail resurfacing set to improve access in the Peak District National Park
More of the High Peak Trail will be widened and resurfaced this winter, improving safety and enjoyment for visitors to the Peak District National Park.
About 2.3km (1.5 miles) of the trail between Newhaven Crossing and Minninglow car park is being improved. Work will begin on Monday (23 January) with repairs scheduled for completion by 17 February 2017.
Use of this section of the trail will be restricted at times but will remain passable.
Parts of the trail on that section are just 750mm wide in places, which is not enough to accommodate walkers, cyclists and horse riders at busy times. The improvements will mean the trail is widened to a width of at least 3 metres.
Emma Stone, who manages the Peak District National Park trails, said: “This is a trail with a variety of users and widening it to a minimum of 3 metres should make the whole experience much safer and more enjoyable for everyone.’’
The work is part of a rolling programme to improve safety and accessibility on the traffic-free trails in the UK’s first and original National Park.
The High Peak Trail runs for 27 km (17 miles) from Dowlow, near Buxton, to High Peak Junction at Cromford. It follows the former route of the High Peak Railway line, which opened in 1831 to carry minerals and goods between the Cromford and Peak Forest canals. Following the closure of the line, the Peak District National Park bought the part of the route within its boundary in 1971 and turned it into a traffic-free trail. The section from Daisy Bank, Longcliffe, to High Peak Junction is outside the national park and owned by Derbyshire County Council.
For more information on the Peak District’s traffic-free trails, visit www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/trails.

The next ‘Live& Local’ Event is on Friday the 27th January and is described as….
‘A fast moving, delightfully bonkers comedy cabaret tribute to local radio, packed with outrageously funny media mockery (and some superb slapstick). With the audience playfully invited to join the action – live sound effects, taste test vox pops and ‘on-air’ phone-in blather – this smart spoof is a sparkling crowd pleaser.’

My three pooches were all born in the deserts of Dubai and they’ve only seen snow a couple of times. Looks like they are happy to switch sand for the cold stuff!

January Parwich Film Show
LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP
This is a beautiful adaptation of Jane Austen’s novella, Lady Susan, filmed on location in Ireland. With beautiful costumes and fine interiors it is a gem of a film.
Set in the 1790s, Love and Friendship centres on beautiful widow Lady Susan Vernon, who has taken up temporary residence at the estate of her in-laws to wait out colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst there, while there, is determined to be a matchmaker for her daughter Frederica — and herself too, naturally.
Starring Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Fry
“Love & Friendship is an unexpected delight, a tremendously witty adaptation of a little known Jane Austen novella. The film boasts surely the finest performance in Kate Beckinsale’s screen career” Independent
Love & Friendship shows just how funny Jane Austen can be -**** Telegraph
“What audacity, what elegance! Here is a hilariously self-aware period comedy polished to a brilliant sheen
Love & Friendship somehow feels like an undiscovered Oscar Wilde play. Guardian
FRIDAY 13th January 7.45PM
Free Entrance. Refreshments. Raffle
Silent projection

Yesterdays high winds took its toll across the county and Parwich was no exception, a dead tree was blown down in the Church Yard, fortunately it fell in line with the brook course and did not bring down the retaining wall into the brook. But if using the footpath you would need to be careful as the branches are protruding onto the footpath.
Also another large branch has been blown down onto the footpath from the horse Chestnut tree and is on the footpath, please be careful especially in the darkTerry P

I have for some time being having trouble with my telephone line crackling, despite the Open Reach engineer having been out several times the problem persists. I would just like to know if anyone else is having the same trouble and whether or not their is an inherent fault at the Exchange or whether it could be the copper wire system that runs to the exchange from this side of the village.
