Parwich Parish Council would like to advise about the forthcoming parish council elections in May 2015.

The nomination pack and set of forms are now available to view and download from Derbyshire Dales District Council’s site:

http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/your-council/elections/2015-elections/town-and-parish-council-elections*

If you are eligible and interested in standing as a member of Parwich Parish Council in May 2015 then please follow the instructions found through the above site regarding the election process and deadlines. Please note applications must not be made to the clerk to Parwich Parish Council.

Parwich Parish Council should consist of 7 members council (to be quorate at meetings there must be at least three parish council members elected in May).

Some members of the present parish council may not choose to stand for another term of office; therefore, if insufficient interest is received by Derbyshire Dales District Council at the elections from present members of the parish council and members of the parish, to be members of Parwich Parish Council, then Parwich parish may be without a parish council.

Please give consideration to this notice, to viewing the information regarding the application process and the implications of possibly being without a parish council.

S Hampson
Clerk
Parwich PC

* Deadline for submissions is 4pm on 9 April 2015.

Exhibition at Ballidon Quarry

image

Lafarge Tarmac, operators of Ballidon Quarry, are intending to make a planning application to the Peak District National Park to modify the existing restoration and development schemes at the Quarry with the intention of providing significantly enhanced restoration.

These proposals are reserve neutral and will not extend the end date of operation estimated at approximately 15 years.

An exhibition to illustrate these proposals will be held at Ballidon Quarry on Tuesday 31st March 2015 with Lafarge Tarmac staff being available to answer questions and explain the proposals in more detail. The exhibition will run from 16.30 to 19.30.

More information about this exhibition has been been circulated to those on the local Electoral Roll. Everyone is welcome to attend the exhibition. Click here to view the invite for the exhibition.
