I was relieved to see yesterday that speeding motorists were being brought to book by an unmarked police car, patrolling on the section south of Newhaven. Specifically an unmarked blue VW Passat, slightly grubby and battered looking. With a set of those hidden blue lights that come on to the front and rear of the car when stopping motorists.

Well done to Ben Chadfield on his latest successes. Ben won the Allyen Hardy Rosebowl for the best hedge growth at the Brailsford and District Ploughing & Hedge Cutting Society match. This was from a hedge Ben laid last year.
He achieved 2nd place in the Meynell and South Staffordshire Hunt hedge laying competition and also won the best hedge growth prize.

Hi,
I’m contacting you with a cheeky plea for help/request for info from Comic Relief – I hope you don’t mind!Comic Relief would love to get Parwich involved in Sport Relief 2012 but I’m not sure who in your village would be able to help me do this.
From experience recreation committees or sports clubs are the most suitable people for me to speak to so I wondered if you would be kind enough to pass my email details – l.thornton@comicrelief.com (and this link – http://www.sportrelief.com/the-mile/organise-an-event ) on to them in the hope they’ll get in touch if they are interested?
Your help and support would be massively appreciated.
Thanks, Liz
Organise A Mile Event – What’s In it For You
Whether you’re a local council, leisure centre, sports club or university, there’s a lot to be said for organising your very own Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile:
- It raises crucial cash for life-changing projects up and down the country and across the world.
- It’s a great way to show off your town or, if you run a club, to raise your profile and get new members.
- It’s inclusive, community-based, plus it gets everyone active and involved in a massive national event.
Our currently our nearest venue for the mile run is Ashbourne Recreation Ground on 25th March – Whether you do 1, 3 or 6 miles – as a family team, with your mates or against the clock – you’ll have a fantastic time when you go the distance. And until 15th December it’s half price entry, just £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and £7.50 for a family of four.
Sports Relief is also kicking off in schools.

This Friday sees a new venture for the regular monthly films, Catering 4 Parwich (C4P) will be selling food, sweets and cans, as well as the usual tea & coffee, so Friday night is easy – come along and relax in the Memorial Hall, have your supper and enjoy this great film.
Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel comes to glossy life in this period romance. Robert Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, who studies veterinary medicine during the Great Depression. After a family tragedy, he loses everything, including the chance to graduate from prestigious Cornell, so he hops a train, where he finds himself part of the struggling Benzini Brothers Circus. Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson give mesmerising performances in this visually stunning and epic romantic drama, which tells the powerfully emotional story of two people who pursue their love against all odds, rules and conventions, set in the alluring and enigmatic world of a travelling circus, with wonderful performances from an elephant.

People who cannot get to Peak District National Park HQ during normal office hours can speak to planners at an evening planning surgery on Wednesday November 2.
The National Park Authority has organised the planning surgery from 5pm to 8pm at its head office, Aldern House, Baslow Road, Bakewell, DE45 1AE.
People may seek general advice about a development they have in mind, or discuss one that affects them, or suggest ideas on how planning could help communities.
They can either book 20-minute appointments on 01629 816200 or customer.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk or they can just drop in and be prepared to wait.
Senior planning officers will be available along with John Herbert, chair of the authority’s planning committee.
John Herbert said: “We want to make it easier for residents to have a face-to-face discussion about a planning issue that concerns them. It’s often difficult for people who have other responsibilities during the day to speak to officers in normal office-hours.
“Officers will be there to advise on individual planning cases which as an authority member I cannot discuss, but I do want to hear residents’ views about planning in general. We’re very keen, as we make improvements in the planning service, that we have as many links with people in local communities as possible.”
Anyone who needs planning advice during office hours can contact the authority’s customer service team or they can see a duty planning officer any weekday between 9.15am and 12.45pm at Aldern House. Phone 01629 816200 or email customer.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk .

It seems to be Oil time again. I phoned around a few suppliers, so for info:
Halso (0845 3739577): 58.4p
EMO (Shell) (01773 874015): 57.29p
Peak (01773 302064): 58.99pThese were for 500litre quantity. 1000 litres+ gets a slightly lower price.
I went for EMO because they’re the cheapest today and don’t need immediate payment, but just send an invoice with a couple of weeks credit.
Cheers RickG

Residents in the Derbyshire Dales are being offered discounted crime prevention materials to help them keep their homes secure as the nights get longer. They will be available to buy from police stations in Matlock, Ashbourne and Bakewell.
The cost of the discounted items:
• Shed alarms £4 (RRP £8)
• Light bulbs indoor £2 (RRP £4)
• Light bulbs outdoor £4 (RRP £8)
• Letter box covers £2 (RRP £4)
• Door chimes £1 (RRP £2)
• Security kits Free (RRP £1)
The items are being provided as part of Operation Illuminate, a project by the Safer Derbyshire Dales Community Safety Partnership, which includes Derbyshire Constabulary and the district council.
Police Partnership Sergeant Garry Staples said: “We are fortunate to live in a low crime area, but residents can help to reduce the risk of having their homes broken into by taking some simple security measures. “By using ‘dusk til dawn’ light bulbs residents can make their house look occupied when they are out or away, and letterbox covers that can stop potential thieves from reaching through and stealing keys.”
Other simple home security measures include:
• Make sure windows and doors are locked when you leave the house or go to bed
• Make sure valuable items, such as mobile phones and laptops, are not left on display near windows
• Take house and car keys with you to the bedroom at night
Anyone with information about burglaries or crime in the area should contact Derbyshire police on 0345 123 3333 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) is one of two national park authorities that have been chosen by the Government to pilot direct elections. The PDNPA is now recommending that all 22 of its council and parish members should be considered for election.
This would not affect the eight remaining members that are appointed directly by the DEFRA Secretary of State, as DEFRA have already ruled this option out.

At Sandra & Judith’s coffee morning today, a name was selected for Poppy’s new calf, Pippin. The horticultural theme continues and I am sure everyone can help out with any future names for Poppy’s descendents, apples open a whole new world.

School buses checked for safety in Ashbourne.
A number of school buses in Ashbourne have been checked as part of a police and partnership road safety operation. Operation Safedrive took place on Friday, September 23 and a team of police officers, PCSOs and officers from CREST (Casualty Reduction and Enforcement Support Team), VOSA (Vehicle Operator Services Agency) and Derbyshire County Council started the day at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School. The team examined over 15 buses and coaches to check the condition and safety of the vehicles bringing children to school. During the checks two buses were found with defects which needed to be fixed as soon as possible and one bus had to be towed back to the depot for immediate repairs after officers found two wheel nuts which had sheared off.
Vehicle Checks
They then moved on to Ashbourne Fire Station where the team were joined by the DVLA and a fire safety officer to carry out checks on passing vehicles. A mixture of warnings, notices and fixed penalty notices were issued to:
• 6 drivers for using their mobile phone while driving
• 3 drivers for having tyre defects
• 2 for number plate offences
• 1 driver for not being in proper control of the vehicle
• 1 for not having a valid MOT
• 28 drivers were stopped for not wearing a seatbelt;
these drivers were also given advice and shown photographs taken by the fire service of cases where people a seatbelt.
In addition, VOSA issued:
• 5 immediate and 2 delayed prohibition notices,
these are given to drivers for defects on vehicles which seriously affect their roadworthiness. The owners then have to have their vehicle inspected at an MOT centre before they can legally drive on the public highway.
The DVLA also brought their camera car and a total of 3018 cars passed through, and seven were found not to have road tax.
