Not Long to Go

Thank you to John B for the following. We look forward to this year’s bowling club reports which are always very entertaining.

PARWICH CROWN GREEN BOWLING CLUB

2015 SEASON

 In just over a month the most exciting game on the planet will start a new season and you dear reader can be part of it. With no prior knowledge needed or indeed trips to the gym to get in shape (not a bad idea really) you too can participate in the cut and thrust of Crown Green bowling.

This cannot be I hear you cry. There has to be a catch or major expenses, but not a bit of it. All you need to do is to come down to Parsons Croft and start playing. It really is that simple. So shake off the drudgery of winter and welcome the coming of spring and get down there.

We will be having a meeting in the Clubhouse on Thursday 5 March at around 1.30pm. Don’t worry if you can’t make it but we would love to see you. You can come down anytime once the Green is open. The Green at present is too wet but fingers crossed it will dry out soon. It would be really great to see some new faces and for others to enjoy one of the best Crown Greens in Derbyshire.

The new season starts the first week in April so not long to go.

What are you waiting for come and join us.

Pump Hill Meeting

Notes of Meeting to Discuss the Future of Parish Council Land off Pump Hill 23 February 2015 at Parwich Memorial Hall

Over 50 residents were in attendance.

Peter Trewhitt opened the meeting on behalf of the blog team and introduced Councillor  Simon Spencer. Cllr Spencer outlined the purpose of his role and emphasised that he was there as an independent chair.

David Wigley outlined the process of acquiring the land when he was Chair of the Parish Council. Cllr Spencer then opened the meeting for comments.

After considerable discussion the following points were agreed:

  • the land should remain as garden indefinitely
  • that the Shields family are regarded as the preferred custodians
  • should the Shields decide not to exercise their right of pre-emption, then this would be opened up again for consultation.

The full notes of the meeting can be read here: Continue Reading »

DDDC New Dog Fouling Proposals

Local views help to shape new dog orders plan

Derbyshire Dales District Council has responded to the views of local people on proposed dog orders that could become law in public spaces across the Derbyshire Dales from 1 April.

The District Council’s Environment Committee will consider plans next Thursday (26 February) to adopt exclusion orders and a dogs-on-leads policy in certain areas – and give council workers powers to issue fixed penalty notices to dog owners who fail to remove dog mess left by their animals in public places.The proposed orders seek to balance the needs of responsible dog owners against the interests of those affected by dogs, particularly children.

There’s a cost and efficiency element to the proposals too: In addition to spending £830,000 on street cleaning every year – including the cost of emptying 350 dog waste bins across the district – dog fouling complaints have doubled in the Derbyshire Dales in recent years. Continue Reading »

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*

Flood Risk Strategy

Derbyshire County Council

Flooding and flood risk in Derbyshire – tell us what you think

Local residents are to be asked to give their views on our plans for co-ordinating the management of flood risk in Derbyshire.


By law we have to publish a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS).

The LFRMS covers things like responsibilities for managing flooding and flood risk, sources of funding available and how our flood risk management team can support the planning process as well as how we prioritise co-ordinating the management of flooding incidents.

The LFRMS also provides general information about flooding, how people can help themselves and who to call in the event of a flood.

Have your say on our LFRMS by completing our consultation questionnaire

The closing date for responses is Monday 16 March 2015.
