Josh & Dan have found a silver ring, buried about 4″ under the soil up near the millenium tree, opposite Gardeners Cottage. The silver band is about 1/4 ” wide with a pattern on it. If anyone knows who it may belong to please ring 727, so it can be returned to its rightful owner.

Just a quick reminder that we are expecting Severn Trent Water to interrupt the water supply on Monday 21st February from 8am to 6pm.
Many years ago, Parwich people must have bathed in the pond. See you down there!

A resident in Parwich contacted police last night, 14th February, to report a suspicious white van driving around the village several times. Some youths got out of the van and walked up to a house window but were disturbed by the occupant and drove off at speed. No details of the van taken, except being described as a minibus shaped van. Officers attended but the vehicle had left the area. Incident number: 19 of 15.2.11
Please continue to be vigilant and contact the police with any information on 0345 123 33 33.

We have confirmed with Severn Trent Water that the village water supply will NOT be interrupted on Monday 14th February and is now replanned for Monday 21st February.
The reason for the change is to enable Parwich Primary School to stay open. The rescheduled date falls in half term.

Renowned local artist Lewis Noble is featured in the latest publication of The Week Magazine.
The article can be found on page 27. The magazine highlights Lewis’s exhibition currently running at The Hart Gallery in London.
In works such as Cloud Shadow Falling Across Fields, Dovedale Wind or Looking Down From Coverack Point, Noble gives a vivid sense of weather: scudding clouds, waves crawling over rocks far below – and, above all, of huge skies with clouds that share equal significance with the rough landscape.
Cloud Shadow Falling Across Fields
The exhibition runs until 2nd March.

If you find climbing the hills of Parwich a trifle arduous, fear not! A brand new transportation service has just arrived in the village. The Mike and Sue ‘willow litter’ will be making circuits every 15 minutes around the most popular points in Parwich. Flag them down and take a seat on top of the sticks! Stops include The Sycamore, The Green, The Legion, The Sycamore, The Shop, The Legion and The Sycamore.
Many thanks to J F-S for capturing the first shots of this crack transportation team!

Following the tragic fire in Hulland Ward, this is the time to check if you have WORKING smoke alarms.
The Derbyshire Fire Brigade offer a FREE home fire safety check, where if required smoke alarms will be fitted FREE of charge. The home fire safety check will give you valuable information on making your home a safer place and advice on how to protect yourself and family if the unthinkable happens.
For more information or to book an appointment call the West Area Office 01298 22274.
If you are over 60, then the Derbyshire Handy Van service will fit smoke alarms for free. Call 0845 850 8013
Modern smoke alarms have a 10 year battery life, and are sealed, so no-one can remove the batteries for their toys, etc…
Smoke Alarms
Ensure that the alarm is working and tested regularly. This should be done once a week, but in any case in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Most alarms are tested by pushing in an obvious test button for a few seconds until the alarm sounds. When the batteries are running out, the alarm will give an occasional bleep. This will continue until the battery runs out or is replaced. Make sure the right type of battery (normally alkaline) is used as a replacement. Batteries should normally be replaced once per year, except in the case of ten year alarms. Smoke alarms also need hoovering twice a week to keep the sensors free from dust.
A fire strikes when you least expect it, often during the night. It also spreads very rapidly, but the real killer is the smoke. If you are asleep when a fire starts and you don’t have a smoke alarm to wake you, your chance of surviving are reduced. Smoke suffocates quickly.
Smoke alarms are available for people with a hearing impairment which consists of flashing lights and vibrating pads.
