New Year Resolution for All Dog Owners – pick up your poo!For the third time in the past week I have picked up and binned other dogs’ faeces on the large cricket pitch when depositing my own dogs’ waste. I do this on behalf of all other good dog owners who would hate to see another place that dogs are banned from entering just because some people can’t be bothered. Maybe a bin can be placed on the field to make it more enticing to do the right thing?Dogs are meant to be man’s best friend, but they are regulated more than any other pet in the country! We’ve already been told we can’t use the smaller playing field because it’s for children only, (despite seeing around seven kids play on there in two years.) I’d love it if dogs had a designated play area so we can all be responsible for looking after said area. Instead, I fear, I’ll see a notice on this blog to say dogs are no longer allowed on the cricket pitch either simply because of a handful of people. We are not perfect dog owners ourselves, our dogs are not perfect, but one thing we do do is make sure we pick up their do do’s!So please, learn to steel your stomachs for this unpleasant task and think of the greater good.Woof!Caroline G

This afternoon saw clear skies but as the temperature drops watch out for foggy patches and icey roads. Photo taken from Creamery Lane.
And another lovely image taken this evening, presumably from further up the Hill, thank you Martin C.

Just a word of caution, the first icy patches of the season are starting to build in places between Bradbourne Mill and the Bentley Brook, also as go out of the village from Pits Lane. As the forecast is for a continued cold snap, they could get quite nasty.

People can have their say on future planning policies in the Peak District National Park as part of a new consultation.
The Development Management Policies document forms part of the Local Plan for the UK’s first and original National Park and will guide all important decisions on the use of land and buildings including locally needed affordable housing, business and community facilities and conserving the distinctive character of the area.
The consultation began on 18 November and runs until 27 January 2017. It is the last formal stage to make representations and the focus of comments should be on the soundness of the plan and the process.

Parwich First Responders spent the weekend re-training and qualifying to act as what is now called “First Person On Scene”. Current Responders were required to undertake this 2 day course in order to attain a new national standard.As Chair of PFR I want to publicly thank our group for giving up yet another weekend in their busy lives. Everyone has already spent at least two weekends for initial training and we continue that commitment by practising skills every 2 months and going on the rota each week to provide emergency cover for Parwich and surrounding area.So a HUGE “thank you and well done” to Martin, Ben, Ed, Patti and Helen. Thanks also go to Sally and Margaret who were unable to attend on Saturday but who hope to complete their new qualification at the next opportunity. The time you all give never fails to amaze me.Even better is the fact that we are lucky to have two new recruits: Debbie and Angela qualified to respond with us. Congratulations on passing and welcome to the group!Finally, just a reminder that in the event of any medical emergency the number to dial is 999. If a Responder is on duty and a call out is appropriate then the control desk will dispatch one of us.Sue H

For the ninth year in a row, Derbyshire Dales District Council is encouraging people to shop locally this Christmas by introducing free parking across the district from 1st December.
In a scheme designed to boost trade, it will be free to park in any District Council car park after 2pm throughout December.
The free parking initiative was introduced by the District Council in 2008 to help local residents and businesses during the economic recession.
The free parking from 2pm throughout December comes on top of residents’ parking concessions that allow local people to park free every day of the year up to 11am and after 4pm.
This means Dales residents have free parking for 21 hours each day over the festive period, which helps local people and local traders.
Free parking extends to midnight each day and motorists are reminded not to leave anything valuable in their vehicles as the lead up to Christmas can also be a choice time for thieves.

This week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph included this piece on Clive:

Posted in People, Sport | Leave a Comment »
The following news has been shared with us by the Parish Council.
Important changes to bus services – Derbyshire Connect
Important changes to bus services – Derbyshire ConnectDerbyshire County Council is introducing a new bus service – Derbyshire Connect – on Monday 13th February 2017. This will replace services 101 and 102 which operate from the Thorpe and Parwich areas as well as two school services – the 103 and 104 – that run from Hognaston to Hulland Ward Primary School, and Kirk Ireton to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School.
Derbyshire Connect will use an accessible minibus and run between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am and 6pm on Saturdays. It will not run on Sundays. Instead of following a traditional timetabled route, Derbyshire Connect will operate anywhere within the times stated and operating zone (see map attached). Please note the emphasis on this service is its flexibility and the areas served can be changed, within this general operating area, to accommodate the journeys passengers may wish to make.
Journeys will have to be booked in advance, anytime from a week to two hours before travel. A standard fare will be charged but Gold card holders will be able to travel for free after 0930 during the week and anytime on Saturdays. Importantly, Derbyshire Connect will be available to everyone, including visitors, of all ages in the operating area.
Derbyshire Connect will be a pilot service for up to 12 months and if successful may shape the way that transport is provided in the future in the county’s rural areas. There are many successful services of this type operating around the country and we hope that Derbyshire Connect will be more responsive to passengers needs and provide greater travel choices.
For more information and details of the area affected continue reading Continue Reading »
