On behalf of the Parish Council I would like to respond that it was of great regret to us all on the Parish Council that such a precept rise was considered to be necessary, a decision that we felt we had to make in light of our likely income and expenditure for the coming year. We would be very happy to provide a full explanation for the basis of our decision at our next Parish Council meeting on 21st March at 7.30 where anyone who is interested is very welcome to attend.
Caroline Healy
Chair
Parwich Parish Council

Parwich Lunch has now been running for 5 months and it is really becoming a significant date in the monthly village calendar. There is a good core of regulars and this week we welcomed some first timers, from the village, Ashbourne as well as London. More than 30 people sat down to a deliciously tasty and tender Lamb Hot Pot followed by a creamy Rice Pudding with plenty of skin for those that wanted it. There is always plenty of conversation, teasing and just a great atmosphere in the Hall over this lunchtime.
Why not come and join us next month on Monday April 16th; you really will be made to feel welcome, whether your 5, 50 or 100. All dietary requirements are catered for and the menu can be adjusted if you don’t like something: as long as Val knows in advance.
Finally what I’d really like to say is thank you, thank you to Val and Alison (Catering 4 Parwich) for the organisation, cooking and the creation of a really super occasion.

New Update – Monday 12, noon.
Following an update from Derbyshire County Council, Monsdale Lane is closed with restricted access throughout the week. Currently there is a large hole which they will try to plate at the end of the day, to allow full access, but this may not happen. So if the road is closed at the Creamery Road end, then access is via the longer way around, out the village & up Highway Lane, the road to Pikehall.

Our weatherman on the hill says:
High pressure rules for the next several days, unfortunately the anticyclone contains a lot of cloud. The week will be warm for March without air frost but rather cloudy. There may be sun at times and day time temperatures into low double figures.

This wonderful and moody adaption of Jane Eyre stars Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, and Dame Judi Dench, and was shot on location in many areas of our own Derbyshire, including Haddon Hall, Wingfield Manor and Stanedge.
Jane flees Thornfield House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester. It is clear that the isolated and imposing residence – and Mr. Rochester’s coldness – have sorely tested the young woman’s resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her – and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered.

Sent in as a comment from Saskia, but too good not to have it as a post.
So, let me get this straight:
Collections will be as follows:
Week 1:
Monday: Green – all kitchen waste, including egg shells (see also Sunday’s collection), but no chicken bones or olive stones; garden waste: only clippings from the following: Celastraceae, Malvaceae and Rosaceae (see also Thursday’s collection); Black: plastics, but only rigid (see below for rigidity testing *), small broken household items with dimensions not exceeding 37 x 45 x 12 cm, ink cartridges, but not HP colour.
Tuesday: Blue – plastics, only non-rigid * (see below); glass, but no broken beer or white/red wine glasses (see additional late-Friday night collection); paper, including newspapers but not the Sunday Mirror.
Wednesday: I can’t quite remember: is it babies and toddlers? But which bin was it? I’m not sure whether I could have misunderstood the instructions though.
Thursday: Green – all green waste but NOT from Celastraceae, Malvaceae and Rosaceae. Also: kitchen waste, but only chicken bones and olive stones (see also Monday’s collection).
Friday: Blue: all recyclables, but no plastics (see Monday and Tuesday). No cricket bats.
Friday-extra: there will be a new extra late-night collection (approx. 23:45) of broken beer and wine glasses, but no champagne flutes.
Saturday: no collection, phew …
Sunday morning: this is a new collection: half-eaten croissants, wastage from fried and boiled eggs, grapefruit and toast, only soggy. The Sunday Mirror (read-only).

Before I go completely apoplectic at the parish council meeting on Wednesday 21 March 2012 can anybody tell me how an increase in the precept of such magnitude can be justified?
Derbyshire County Council …………. Increase in Council tax….. 0.0%
Derbyshire Police Authority……….. . Increase in charge……. … 0.0%
Derbyshire Fire Authority ……………. Increase in charge……. … 0.0%
Derbyshire Dales District Council ….. Increase in Council Tax …..0.0%
Parwich Parish Council……………… Increase in Council Tax….. 46.1% !!
For a village of less than 400 souls this is some kind of increase. What on earth can a Parish of this size spend an additional £2000 on?
I am not aware of any costs to the Parish Council other than an extremely expensive Parish Clerk, an expensive Internal Auditor, and a mowing contract, that even before the debacle of last year, would have made Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club green with envy.
Please let me know?
(PS you should have seen the diatribe before I watered it down!)

I have just recieved my council tax bill for this coming year, and despite the announcement on Parwich webb site that there is a council tax freeze untill 2016, this does not appear to be the case.
According to the breakdown on the bill the offending party is Parwich Parish Council, whos spending forecast has gone up by a staggering 46.2%, what is it that they do not understand about the word austerity.
Mr Cameron is trying to bring local government spending under control, but he obviously has not heard of the village of Parwich. This rise is totaly unaccepable, and I must ask this is rectified without delay.
Regards Mr T.Pickard

We have received a request from Parwich-based acoustic folk-rock combo The A52s:
The Y Not Festival is asking people to vote for their favourite local bands to play at the festival. We would be very grateful if you would give us your support. You have to let the festival know via Facebook – emails are not counted.
Click on the link above, look for the second post down which reads “Calling all Y Notters” and add a comment. The vote is only open for 44 hours. Pass the word on to others as well – we need people power!
Thank you!

From Monday 12th for 5 days, Monsdale Lane will be closed, except for access. DCC are doing drainage investigation work, so there is no problem for people needing to get to their homes or businesses but be patient if they are working and you need to pass.

Stargazers are being asked to look out for Orion the hunter in the night sky over the Peak District from March 10-17 after cloudy weather impeded last month’s survey.
The Peak District Dark Skies Group is asking people to help monitor the impact of light pollution by finding out how brightly they can see the distinctive constellation of Orion.
The aim is to scout out the best, darkest locations for star-gazing in the Peak District National Park and its surrounding areas.
People are asked to go to the website to find instructions and charts to download.
To take part in the survey they should go outside after 8pm on a clear night between March 10 and 17 to spot Orion, with its distinctive “belt” of three bright stars in a line, with a smaller three-star “sword” below.
Then they need to match what they see with a series of star charts of varying brightness. Finally they should send their findings, with location, time and date, back to the website.

The early Spring is over, a sunny Monday gives way to a cooler rather cloudy week with some rain on Wednesday, frost is unlikely. The next Atlantic high pressure system is going to be sitting down in the Azores unfortunately.
