Derbyshire Dales District Council has responded to the views of local people on proposed “Horse Orders” that could become law in public spaces across the Derbyshire Dales from April. The District Council’s Environment Committee are considering plans to adopt exclusion orders and a horse-on-lead reign policy in certain areas – and give council workers powers to issue fixed penalty notices to riders who fail to remove horse mess left by their animals in public places. The proposed orders seek to balance the needs of responsible riders against the interests of those affected by large piles of horse droppings, particularly toddlers. Continue Reading »

According to a contact within Robinson’s, the brewery are in negotiation with a party interested in developing the Sycamore. To protect our source we can’t reveal too much about the party involved but will call it the HB Plan for now.
The HB plan is to develop the Sycamore as a small boutique hotel and fine dining vegetarian restaurant. Keeping the original frontage but demolishing the rear brick section and rebuilding over and beyond the current footprint. The proposed development will include –
- 8 Deluxe guest suites
- Commercial Kitchen facilities
- Re-alignment of the stream behind the property to enable-
- A waterside garden restaurant
- Glass viewing platform
- Ornamental garden and illumination along the stream
- New wider car park entrance
- Removal of side garden to provide car park with space for 24 vehicles and 2 coaches
- technology including deep-ground thermal heating, solar panels, bio-fuel recycling plant and new miniature wind turbine generation.
We hope to have more on this exciting development shortly.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLING CLUB
2016 SEASON
So the time has come the walrus said to think of other things, and you can’t think of a much better thing than Crown Green Bowls. You can now forget all about what Rob is going to do in the Archers and get down to Parsons Croft.
As from this weekend starting Saturday 2 April you can enjoy the delights of the best game there is after tidily winks.
The first match of the season is at home against Baslow on Thursday 7 April. Start time 1.45 pm. As you may recall we were playing in the higher echelons of the Thursday League last year, but difficult a task as it was we managed to get ourselves relegated back to the lower division.
The first Tuesday match is also at home on 12 April. Start time I think is 6.00pm and our opponents are Bakewell.
One final note is that we have a couple of new members joining us this year which is great. Many more would be most welcome. See you at Parsons Croft.
John B.

Some of you may have received a notification card from BT that fibre optic cabling has been installed into the village. This means we can now get BT Infinity broadband service. I rang the number on the card and was offered the following –
Unlimited Infinity 1
Download 35Mbps / Upload 10Mbps
£25 per month plus £49 activation charge
Unlimited Infinity 2
Download 80Mbps/ Upload 20Mbps
£32.50 per month with free activation
This is broadband only, no calls or line rental included.
For comparison with “regular” BT Unlimited Broadband my current speed is around –
Download 20Mbps / Upload 1Mbps

The brook has breached it’s bank in several places.
There is water pouring out of a number of manholes where the drains are not coping with the amount of water.
The tarmac has been forced up near the pump shed and Lynette has placed 2 bars on the road in that area to try and warn people not to drive on it.

Christine B (née Goldstraw) has put several posts on our Facebook page asking if people remember her late grandparents (see https://www.facebook.com/parwich/ – Visitor are posts lower down on the left hand side of the page).
Can anyone in the village remember my late grandparents? Left with hat on Mr Clifford Goldstraw, next to him Harriet Goldstraw. They lived at Crown House, Parwich.
Crown House, formerly the Crown Inn and the original home of the Parwich Oddfellows, is now called Crown Cottage.
Note: You can comment on this post or reply to the Facebook posts or alternatively if you are a member of Facebook you can message Christine directly through Facebook.

In the light of the Sunday Times again featuring Parwich as one of the best places to live, the Ashbourne News Telegraph are running an article on this in tomorrow’s edition.
As today’s horrific news from Brussels comes in, it is good we can also reflect on what we value in our community and our environment.
