So far there has been a very good response to the poll about the future of the recycling bins in the Sycamore Inn car park. Thank you to all who have participated so far. At the time of writing this some 57 people/households have voted, with 65% feeling the bins are no longer required, but with a significant minority of 35% saying they are still required.
Here at parwich.org we would argue that although the majority do not use this ‘bring’ recycling point, a significant minority still do, and that it should be retained as it is used on a regular basis with the 3 bins requiring emptying at least once a week. Despite the fortnightly domestic collections this central collect point continues to be used because:
- Not every household in the village has domestic recycling bins and some people use these bins every week
- The domestic recycling bins are not always sufficient to hold all that accumulates between collections, if a household misses putting out the bins one week there will be then a month’s gap between collections, so some use this recycling point on an ad hoc basis
- At times the fortnightly collection may not be enough for an individual household (e.g. a party or accumulated packing) and the Sycamore bins are used for the excess
- Not everyone who uses these recycling bins has a car to take their recycling to Ashbourne
- Holiday makers staying locally, visitors and walkers regularly use these bins
Derbyshire Dales District Council are considering closing this recycling point and we will pass this information on to them in early January, however there is still time to have your say by voting in the poll or by adding comments to this post.

Has anyone noticed broadband speeds dropping in the evenings recently? Last night, for instance, it was incredibly slow just to load up web pages. I am with TalkTalk.
Martin
Previously when this problem has been raised before it was a matter of which service provider you used. Have other readers noticed any change in their broadband?
(Note. I am using AOL TalkTalk at present but receive a very variable download speed, it varies by a factor of 1,000, between aprox. 2 or 3am, when there is a good speed and 8 or 9pm when it is virtually unusable. I plan to change providers when I move. It does seem to have got worse recently. Peter T)

This sunny day saw the planting of the new avenue on Nether Green. It looks very new, but in years to come it will be loved as much as the chestnuts were.

Hello Santa’s Little Helpers.
A church in Neath, South Wales, is using a real donkey for Mary to ride, in their annual nativity play. Pretty straightforward you may think. Oooooooh no! Enter stage left … Yes, you’ve guessed it, the ‘health & safety’ brigade’: little Mary must don a crash helmet for the hazardous gallop to the byre. Her steed is Exocet Enid, a retired Blackpool donkey with a fiery streak in her veins. Of course ‘The Magi’ must wear high vis vests, their camels are to have hazard lights and indicators. Any adults involved in the production will be required to take a CRB check. The byre should pass fire safety inspection, a fully equipped postnatal team will be on standby and strictly no photographs allowed.
Weedkiller’s Television & Film Critic was appalled at the poor standard of the Royal Variety Performance recently; “third rate entertainment” he grumbled. Poor old Camilla was mistaken for Dame Edna, and Prince Charles had gone missing but was eventually found in the foyer talking to the plants.

Our weatherman says:
Relatively mild and changeable weather is forecast for the coming period. None of the white stuff on the horizon, so the odds for a white Christmas are getting longer…

Hello possums.
Well, Parwich gourmets rejoice: going on sale soon is the world’s poshest fish pie, containing Scottish wild salmon poached in Moet Chandon, Loch Fyne oysters, lobster tails and Perigourdine truffles, topped off with a 24 carat gold crumb. A garnish of the finest beluga caviar, nestling on mother of pearl spoons, finishes off this superlative dish. You and your beloved can don your nose bags for the princely sum of £314.16, excluding chips and mushy peas of course.
An Australian rancher has appeared in court, accused of cruelty, after he rode into town on the back of an emu. In mitigation he said “Of course I wouldn’t normally roid an emu your worships, but ya see me joey was bloody well crook at the toime“.
Stringent reforms proposed by ‘The British Boxing Board Of Control’ have been strongly objected to, and have resulted in complaints to ‘The European Court Of Human Rights and Lefts’.
