Next Saturday is the bulk rubbish collection; the dustcart picks up at various points in the village. Remember if you leave rubbish to be removed, you must be in attendance when the wagon comes and load your rubbish, yourself. Don’t lose it, use it – even if you only have a small amount to get rid of.
Sycamore Cottages 0900 – 0920
Village Green 0925 – 0945
By old shop, village top 0950 – 1010
Croft Avenue 1015 – 1045

A census is a count of the population. We have had one in the UK every ten years to find out more about who we are as a nation. We ask everyone to tell us a bit about themselves to help census users decide how best to plan and deliver the everyday services we all need – like housing, education, healthcare and transport.
Census day is Sunday 27 March 2011 and you will receive your questionnaire in the middle of March. You will need to complete your questionnaire on or around this date so that we can take a snapshot of the population as it stands on one day – to give a consistent picture for the whole country.
The answers you give should be about the people living or staying with you on that day, even if you fill in your questionnaire before, on, or after 27 March 2011. You will need to complete it online, or fill in the paper questionnaire and send it back as soon as you have completed it.
If you have not returned your questionnaire by 6 April, a census collector will call after that date to offer any help you need.
You are required by law to complete the census. Personal information from the census is not released for 100 years.
For information on the 2011 census contact Chris Watson, Area Manager on 07801331345 or email on E107@census.gov.uk

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.
