The Ashbourne Telegraph reports that the Sunday Times, due out this coming Sunday, has once again listed Parwich as one of the best places to live. Let’s hope it is more accurate than the report in The Times earlier this week which placed two of Tissington’s shops in Parwich!

Bus consultation – still time to have your say
DCC is proposing to withdraw all funding for subsidised bus services − journeys that can’t be run commercially − and community transport Dial-a-Bus (DAB) ‘shopping buses’ from October 2017.
This means that unless they can be run commercially or funded from elsewhere they will stop. Typically they are early morning, evening, Sunday and rural services.
The consultation runs until Sunday 24 April 2016. Questionnaires can be completed online. Printed copies are available from all Derbyshire libraries and district and borough council offices.
The four proposals are:
- to withdraw all funding – £4.6m − for buses we pay for. This affects around 139 services
- to withdraw all funding for the county’s six community transport DAB services − just over £1m
- to put on a Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) service in the place of subsidised and DAB services
- to put on a new Door-to-Door Plus service for people who, through mobility difficulties, would be unable to use the proposed DRT service.
Details of the DRT service have yet to be developed, but in principle, passengers have to book their journey, then wait to be picked up at a specified location on a given day and time. There is usually a main route but buses can divert off this to pick up and drop at other places on the way if this has been pre-planned.
This service would be limited with around 10 minibuses to serve the county. Buses would be wheelchair-friendly and could be used by passengers who currently use subsidised buses or community transport services.
Councillor Dean Collins, Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, said:
“By 2020 the funding we get from Government will be more than a third lower than in 2010. These cuts are unprecedented and mean we have no choice about scaling back most of the services we provide, particularly when, by law, we do not have to provide them.”

Time to start thinking about the photography section of the Horticultural Show (which will be on 4 September this year). The subjects for this year are:
- All in a Row
- Purple
- A Single Flower in Focus
Photographs to be no bigger than A4 in size and to have been taken within 20 miles of Parwich. Two entries allowed per subject.
Good Luck!

We have received this request for information about Steeples bus service:
I am currently writing a history of Derbyshire’s independent bus operators in the days before deregulation and one of the 20+ operators which will be covered is Steeples of Parwich. I’m sure that many of your readers will remember this firm which ceased to trade in November 1967.I already have information on the “technical” side (such as the vehicles used and the licences held) but have been able to discover remarkably little about Mr RH Steeples himself. I wonder if I might appeal to your readers for some biographical information about the proprietor and his immediate family? Anecdotes and personal reminiscences about the bus services would also be welcome, although I am unable to use longer stories as I have more than 20 operators to fit into my allocated 160 pages!Those who provide assistance will receive a free copy of the book, which will have around 200 illustrations, 35 of them in colour, and will also include other companies once familiar in Ashbourne such as Allen of Roston, Carter of Hales Green, and Webster of Hognaston. The book is due to be published by Ventuire of Glossop later this year and will be priced at around £19.I hope that your readers can help me to do justice to the memory of this small but vital bus company – please feel free to pass my email address on to anyone who might be interested in helping.Best Wishes,Neville Mercerneville.mercer@googlemail.com
