Derbyshire police have received a number of reports from residents relating to security companies contacting them by phone offering home security surveys, alarm systems and crime prevention advice, stating that they will be in your area shortly. If they mention that they are working for Derbyshire police, they are not.
Some companies use high pressure selling techniques once they visit your home. If you require any security advice, please speak to one of the Crime Reduction Officers at Buxton police station by calling 0345 123 33 33. Continue Reading »

The rainwater harvest tank has been positioned and when fully installed will take most of the rainwater from the roof and it will be used to flush the toilets. The photo shows the tank being lowered into its new home – and this is the only time it will be seen. Work will be continuing tomorrow until early afternoon.

Angela Dodds died recently in Belgium where she has lived for a number of years. Angela spent her childhood in Parwich, her family living at Hallcliffe from the 1940s to the 1960s.
The Dodds family were an important part of village life and are still remembered by many locally with affection. Angela’s parents, Major Dodds and Lady Crompton-Inglefield, are buried together in Parwich Churchyard beneath the chestnut tree near the east end of the Church.
Our sympathy and best wishes goes out to all her family.

Does anyone want our X Box? It is the old version not the 360, but still works fine.
I don’t think they make new games for it anymore, but we have quite a few games you could have with it, controllers etc. We don’t want any money for it, just don’t want to throw it away.
If no-one wants it, does anyone have any ideas what we could do with it? I don’t think charity shops take electrical items. I did try to join freecycle once but it was rather complicated and put me off.

Update from your Safer Neighbourhood Officer
November/December 2009
During the month of November there have been several incidents to report. On the 5th the Derby Mountain Rescue Team were dispatched to Dovedale near to Lion Rock where a 16 year old female had fallen and sustained back injuries. The Air Ambulance was also in attendance. All was well and the injured party was taken to hospital.
It was reported on the 13th by a resident at Tissington that a white van was seen taking a ‘flash’ photograph of their farm and on the 14th another vehicle, this time a yellow van was reported visiting a farm at Fenny Bentley asking if they had any car batteries they could have. It is very important that all suspicious vehicles, enquiries are reported to the Police, we can then check them out and update the residents with the outcome.
On the 16th a vehicle (Corsa) was reported burnt out at Alsop Station, Alsop en le Dale. Police attended and found the car was completely destroyed. Enquiries are still ongoing and hopefully a result will be forthcoming and will be reported in next month’s newsletter. Continue Reading »

The rain stopped and the sun came out just at the right time. Some 500 balls were raced down Pump Hill, with the first three winning their owners prizes. Then all adjourned to the Legion for a barbecue. For more photos Continue Reading »

A Parwich resident was told yesterday that a further power cut was likely this afternoon because there is still further work required to clear the tree(s) from our power lines.
However Central Networks (tel. 0800 056 8090) have no planned cuts on their computer system (10am Sunday morning) for our area, so are unable to confirm this. If we hear more we will update this post. If you hear more please add a comment or email parwich@hotmail.co.uk .

As most now know Simon is retiring from the Postal Service. He has been delivering our letters for the last 11 years, always with a friendly smile and often going well beyond the call of duty.
You can still leave your messages and a donation for his present at the Shop in the Sycamore or with Martin and Jean at Gibbons Bank.
The presentation will follow the Methodist’s Xmas Concert in St Peter’s at 2.30pm on Sunday 13th December, when there will be mince pies and refreshments. Every one is welcome either for the concert and mince pies, or just for the mince pies afterwards.
Please could you let Martin or Jean (tel. 529 martin@orchidserve.com) know if you would like to attend so that they can make sure there are enough refreshments for you!

Part of our area experienced a power cut from about 1am last night/early this morning (Friday/Saturday). It lasted between three and four hours if my central heating timer is to be believed.
Some of you may have slept through it, so you may want to check any electrical timers.
Added at 5-45pm on Saturday 21st – I guess you would have had to have been on holiday to have missed the second power cut today. It rather renders the above redundant!
Added at 9pm on Saturday – Eon (?Central Networks) report the power cuts were due to trees interfering with the power lines supplying Parwich and Tissington. There is a possibility that there will be a further power cut tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we will be able to post confirmation of this tomorrow morning.

Last night the village hall at Tissington was packed, with standing room only. There were 5 representatives from Derbyshire County Council including the Highways Department, the Principle Engineer for Structure and the Senior Project Manager. Our County Councillor Simon Spencer chaired the meeting with aplomb, allowing people sufficient time to pose their questions and air their grievances before either asking for a technical response from the Officers or promising to look into the issue and report back via letter.
The 8 properties sandwiched in the middle of the road closure near Woodeaves are clearly being badly effected at the moment. They are faced with many inconveniences that make their journey at times impossible, because of current work at Horsley Farm landslip – the site of the original traffic lights just south of the Tissington Ford.
Impact for Parwich – a summary.
- Work should start just after the New Year with an approximate 20 week time-scale. The road may open slightly earlier, before work is fully completed with traffic lights.
- Alsop Lane to have the holes filled at the side where vehicles have to pass – sooner rather than later, this road to be salted in the winter and attention given to the verges in the early summer because of the dangers of visibility.
- Brackendale Lane from Bradbourne to be salted and the cycle route posts to be more visible in the summer months because of the increase in vehicles needing to pass.
If nothing happens shortly we would encourage individuals to ring Call Derbyshire 08456 058 058 to report and press for urgent work to be carried out before damage is caused to cars and also to email Cllr Simon Spencer (email simon.spencer@derbyshire.gov.uk ) .
The meeting in detail. Continue Reading »

The Peak District National Park Authority is asking people to help choose a £5,000 legacy to mark the 60th anniversary of UK national parks legislation. On December 16 it will be exactly 60 years since the post-war Government voted to protect the country’s most precious landscapes with the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. You must vote by December 11th. Please note that you can only click on “View the shortlist and vote for your favourite” once, so if you don’t vote then you will not be able to access it again, except on a different computer.
Peak District residents and visitors are being asked to vote for one of six projects to create a lasting reminder of the significance of national parks for people, for wildlife and for the nation’s heritage. The choices for the £5,000 legacy are: Continue Reading »

We are delighted to report that we have seen the back of the drilling, no offence to the drillers. As you have probably gathered the last two weeks have not gone as smoothly as we all would have wished. This was due to mechanical breakdowns and geological conditions. The drillers have been extremely concerned about the intrusion of noise levels in the village and have been very considerate. Real thanks must go to those living in close proximity to the site, and particularly to Simon, Tracey-Ann and their young family for their positive attitude throughout; especially last night when the drilling had to go on rather late.
Tomorrow the steel will arrive and by the end of the week we should see the outline of the new hall emerging.

Thanks to Kevin S. for the following report.
NOTE: There are a couple of videos of Saturday night’s screening – complete with live organ accompaniment and audience laughter! – at the end of this post. Click “Continue Reading” to access them.
The number of cars parked around the green suggested that something very different and special was awaiting us, as we walked to St Peter’s last night to watch The Gold Rush, with organ accompaniment by Christopher Harrison. There were plenty of familiar faces sitting in the pews, but there were very many new faces too. It soon became apparent that the plethora of enthusiastic visitors had come from film clubs around Derbyshire, having heard about last night’s unique event.
The rapturous applause for Christopher’s accompaniment on organ and piano, and for the sound effects created by Martin and Arnold, were clear testament to a remarkable evening. What’s more, over £200 was raised for the church restoration fund.
The atmosphere of the darkened church, the excellent silent film and Christopher’s witty organ playing combined to magical effect. Oh, and there were great nibbles (from local cooks) and wine (courtesy of Waitrose) during the interval too.

We have yet another marvellous opportunity to enjoy some top quality classical music by the London Concertante Chamber Ensemble. For the third year they will be playing popular classics for Christmas at St John’s Church Ashbourne. Their concerts are always a sell out, so it is important to book early. Tickets can be booked on line or by ringing the box office on 01335 343666.
