Sadly we’ve just had the last Zumba class for the moment. Numbers have dropped to the point where the class is not viable for Lizzie. I am really sorry about this as I have enjoyed it so much. I am absolutely no good at dancing but it has been such a privilege to learn dance steps with a professional dancer. Zumba routines work both the body and mind. I was surprised at how hard I had to concentrate! And yes, it was sometimes an effort to get to the class but how fantastic to have yet another class arranged for us in the village! Also, I have not laughed till I cried for a long time!!

Just to warn that conditions underfoot are treacherous this morning. It’s currently raining into frozen ground so there is a lot of black ice on both the roads and footpaths.

We understand that the Tissington Tearoom is closed for renovation until early March. Fear not however! You can get a nice cup of tea, hot chocolate or a selection of cold drinks from Edward & Vintage. This charming 1940s style, Tissington-based shop also sells the most amazing range of confectionery and homeware. Be prepared for a trip down memory lane if you are a tad nostalgic for the sweets of your childhood. We understand children like this shop very much too! Winter opening hours are Thursdays to Sundays, 11am – 4.30pm until the end of April.

In despair……..contact Samaritans
January can be a difficult month for many people as the cost of Christmas reflects itself in high bills at a time when money is tight and winter fuel costs are also putting a strain on finances.
If things are beginning to overwhelm you remember Samaritans are available 24 hours a day to give emotional support to anyone in distress or despair or experiencing suicidal feelings. You have nothing to fear by contacting us as our service is totally confidential and non-judgmental. You can get in touch by phoning 01332364444, e mailing jo@samaritans.org or texting 07725909090.
If you would rather talk to someone face to face you can visit our local branch at 110 Burton Rd Derby. This is at the town end of Burton Rd opposite the junction of Burton Rd and Mount Street. We are open to callers most days from 9 am to 3pm and 6pm to 10 pm (no need to make an appointment but please phone before visiting to check that we are open).
We are always seeking new volunteers to train as Samaritans or assist the branch in other ways such as fund raising and admin. We hold ‘no obligation’ information evenings for prospective volunteers every few weeks. If you are interested details are on our website www.samaritans.org/derby

[Reference: BA154 Crime number: 3161/12]
An elderly lady has had her purse taken from her secure handbag while shopping in Sainsburys in Ashbourne at lunchtime on Friday 20th January. It is thought that the offender unzipped the handbag and removed the purse while the lady was distracted.
Officers are advising shoppers to be aware of anyone acting suspicious or getting too close to you, or of people who try to distract you by bumping into you. Report them to shop staff as many shops are linked by the shop watch radio scheme.
Please avoid leaving handbags unattended in shopping trolleys, even for just a moment.
Anyone with information should call Derbyshire police on 101 – quote crime number: 3161/12.
Thank you.
Trisha Mellor, Community Information Officer,
Buxton Division

New website pages have been created by the Peak District National Park Authority to make it easier for residents to make or comment on a planning application.
Responding to feedback from website users all the information on the planning pages has been re-written to be shorter, avoid jargon and make it easier to understand.
The information – which can be seen here – is now organised into four sections covering:
• pre-application advice and guidance, including answers to frequently asked questions
• making a planning application
• commenting on a planning application, reporting a planning breach or providing feedback about planning services
• information about the planning service, planning policies, enforcement issues, minerals and waste issues and the planning committee.
For the first time residents can also search for details of planning applications and any appeals in one place. Continue Reading »
