Owing to weather conditions the mobile library will not be able to visit Parwich tomorrow Friday 10^th January.

Next month Martin will be on leave, so the next visit to Parwich will be Friday 7^th March.

Update from Derbyshire Dales District Council

Serco and the Council waste officers have been out this morning, jointly reviewing and monitoring the condition of the roads around the district.

A joint decision has been made to stop the collections at the north of the district, due to weather related health and safety concerns. Refuse/recycling lorries weigh up to 26 tonnes and the drivers must ensure complete safety of pedestrians, property and other vehicles when deciding whether to collect from a street during icy conditions.

We know how frustrating it is when bin collections are delayed, and we are sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, this week’s weather conditions mean that we are unable to get to some areas safely. Despite our best efforts, there are some areas which have not and may not get their bins collected on their scheduled collection day. Residents do not need to report this, as we are keeping track.

The crews will be attempting to recover any collections that have been missed from the south of the district today, where possible.

The main message to all residents – If you have not received your collection yet, please leave your bins / sacks presented and we will collect these as soon as possible.

Parwich. 10 Jan and 7 Mar. 3:15

Is there a grit bin near you, and is it running low after the recent snowy weather?

Most of these bins are refilled by Derbyshire County Council, (The Highways Authority). There are contact details and a serial number on each bin which you can use to let them know that a bin needs filling, or topping up.

The exception to this is the bin at the top of the footpath path linking Gibbons Bank to Monsdale Lane via Bankside. This bin was installed by a previous Parish Council and is not supported by the County Council. If it needs filling contact the Clerk at clerk@parwichparishcouncil.gov.uk and I will sort it.

The wonderful actress, Kate Winslett, stars in this moving and true account of Lee Miller, the American model and photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II. Her photographs of the war, its victims and its consequences remain among the most significant and historically important of the second world war. She changed war photography forever, but Lee paid an enormous personal price for what she witnessed and the stories she fought to tell.

Guardian review **** Lee review – Kate Winslet is remarkable as model turned war photographer Lee Miller

Dear all,

Pleased to advise that we have recently enabled nearly 150 premises with Full Fibre broadband as part of the Parwich exchange scheme. The premises in question are primarily located in Parwich village and in DE6 1QA, QB, QD, QL, QJ, QW, 1NX, 1QH, 1QG and 1QT postcodes. Please Note: Not all premises in these postcodes are enabled, however we will continue to build our network over the coming weeks and months.

Whilst this is great news for Parwich, we are still hoping to build our new Full Fibre network to neighbouring communities such as Alsop en le Dale and Pikehall, however we are still short of our target costs in order to make this happen.

Our pledge site remains open Connect My Community (openreach.com), so people who haven’t pledged yet, but intend to order Full Fibre services soon, we would appreciate if they could pledge prior to ordering as this will help us obtain the required funding and hopefully hit our target. I also attach some information which can be shared electronically through email and social media and I would be grateful if you could help promote and raise awareness of the scheme.   

We appreciate that most people are unclear about the monthly costs once Full Fibre services become available so it would be worth reaching out to their Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see what packages are available. A lot of ISPs will upgrade their customers to Full Fibre at no additional charge once it becomes available so worth checking with them.

A link to a list of providers using our network is below.

FTTP providers | Openreach

In terms of areas that have been enabled, people can check whether Full Fibre services are available by following the link below and inserting their postcode and selecting their address. If the response confirms Full Fibre Broadband available as per example below, then they can contact their ISP to upgrade. Some providers may have already contacted their customers.

Fibre Checker (openreach.com)

I trust this is welcomed news for the village and I look forward to bringing more good news in 2025. I would be more than happy to attend and provide an update at one of your next Parish Council meetings in the New Year. If this is of interest, please let me know and advise of suitable dates.

In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Regards

Robert Rowan
