Just to let you know that the Marshalls have inspected the church floor today, and cordoned off part of the south side of the aisle. The joists and bearers have crumbled through woodworm attack, and the floor is unsupported!
They plan to replace about half the south side floor next week, in time for the September weddings. The church will have to be closed for a day or so, when they spray the woodworm chemicals.
Thank you to Martin for this information

Evie Burlinson and Gill Radcliffe will be showing paintings at Ticknall this coming Bank Holiday. Why not make a day of it, visiting nearby Calke Abbey and the exhibition at the nearby Dame Catherine Harpur School in Rose Lane, Ticknall. This annual exhibition of up to 1000 paintings is a unique event, raising money for charity. The standard of exhibits is high, attracting a large number of artists from all over the Midlands showing work in a variety of styles. Ticknall is a marvellous setting for this bonanza; superb home prepared lunches and refreshments make the event quite special for an enjoyable day out over the August Bank Holiday.

Crime in the Derbyshire Dales has gone down even further – boosting figures that were already lower than almost anywhere else in England.
New Home Office figures reveal:
- only 25 crimes per thousand people in the Dales – by far the lowest figure in Derbyshire.
- Overall crime in the Dales is down by 7% on a year ago.
- Derbyshire Dales has the lowest rate of vehicle theft in England and Wales – only one theft per thousand people
- Dales residents are also the least likely in England and Wales to be the victim of a robbery, with only 11 such offences last year.
- Burglaries in the Dales also fell last year – at only two per thousand people that’s the second lowest figure in England and Wales. Continue Reading »

Probably because it is holiday time the news is somewhat thin, although we do get one mention. As always you can buy the paper at The Sycamore or read it online by clicking on the image.
p1. Fury over town centre parking. Be warned, enforcement tickets have been placed on cars, despite them having paid £1, because drivers have not been parking in marked bays in the Market Place and using the triangular cobbled area by the road.
p2. Landslip forces lengthy road closure. Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member stated “We’re working hard to resolve this problem and re-open the road as soon as we possibly can so we hope motorists will bear with us while this important work takes place”. Plans to rebuild the road are being drawn up, with repairs expected to take place early next year!! Continue Reading »

Thank you to JF-S for this picture and to Mike G for letting us know that Monsdale Lane is “getting dressed” – having a new coating of tarmac, so access is not currently possible.
p.s. There are clearly two “dumpers” in this picture, let’s hope the owner of this dog, had a doggy bag handy!

At this very moment a car with a camera is driving around the village & its logo is Google. So are we now going to join other villages and towns on this somewhat controversial website?

The Ashbourne News Telegraph is again in the shops and on-line. Click on the image of the paper to access today’s issue.
So far I have failed to find this week any direct reference to Alsop-en-le-Dale, Ballidon, Parwich or Pikehall, not even mention of the Parwich Panoramic Five, perhaps it will be in next week’s.

- p.1, 9, 10 & 11 Russell Crowe continues to ride round Dovedale and Thorpe in Lincoln Green. As well as a three page spread, the paper’s website has a slide show.
- p.2 Mobile speed cameras will be in the area this week (Mon 10th to Sun 16th August) as part of a campaign to cut speeding and encourage road safety, including the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road.
- p.6 Radio 4 Any Questions is to be in Queen Elizabeth Grammar School on Friday 18th September. To get free tickets contact 01335 343685 ext.213. Doors will be open between 6-45pm and 7-15pm.

The closure of the B5056 just north of the Bentley Brook Inn at Fenny Bentley is likely to continue into next year.
The Blog Team spoke to Derbyshire County Council Highways Department this morning.
The Consultants, who investigated the landslip when the road was closed in June, have indicated four possible options. The County Council are deciding which option to go ahead with, though the currently preferred one involves sinking piles into the hillside to stabilise the landslip. They hope that work will start in 3 or 4 months, but then the work is likely to take another 3 or 4 months. Their website has a projected end date in May 2010, though presumably this will be subject to updating once they have finalised the programme of work and assuming that there is no dramatic further landslip.

Just driven back from Ashbourne and the B5056 has been closed again at Fenny Bentley. As soon as we have any more details we will post them on the blog.
Added later on Tuesday: Highways contacted the Blog Team to say that the road has been closed today because of further movement in the land slip. At present they do not know how long the road will be closed, though it is likely to be some months. They will keep us up to date with their plans and any progress.

This email was sent to parwich@hotmail.co.uk, and, although the Wirksworth Festival is outside our area, we thought someone might be interested in being involved:
Are you ready for your close-up? Would you like to have a starring role as part of an artwork at Wirksworth Festival 2009?
Video artist Phil Lambert is making a new piece of work for Wirksworth Festival 2009, which will be shown in the window of the Bookshop, and on display through this year’s Festival, 11-26 September… and he needs your help! He wants local people to take a starring role in the project by volunteering to appear in his new work. If you want to take part then you only need to give up half an hour of your time on either Saturday 15 or Sunday 16 August for filming at the Parish Room in Wirksworth. If you would like to take part then contact Phil direct by email at pwrlambert@hotmail.co.uk.

Congratulations to Dr Margaret Spurr and Professor Peter Young.
Last weekend they celebrated their new found friendship in Lincoln Cathedral with a wonderful service of blessing followed by a superb reception afterwards in the Cathedral Chapter House.
They are due to return to Parwich on Monday and we look forward to seeing them again and wish them many happy years ahead.

A new home is being sought for the Memorial Hall piano. It had already been offered to the School and Highfields House, so if anyone has any further ideas for a suitable home please let the Memorial Hall Committee know.
Failing that if anyone is interested in having the piano in exchange for any donation to the new build project, please contact the Secretary as soon as possible.
A new home needs to be found for the piano before the builders arrive. You can contact the Secretary Amanda on 344 or emails to parwich@hotmail.co.uk will be forwarded to her.
