Winner of Best Motion Picture in the Golden Globes. Directed by Oscar winner Steven Spielberg, “West Side Story” tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City.
This reimagining of the beloved 1957 musical stars Ansel Elgort (Tony); Rachel Zegler (María); Ariana DeBose (Anita); David Alvarez (Bernardo). Love at first sight strikes when young Tony spots Maria at a high school dance in 1957 New York City. Their burgeoning romance helps to fuel the fire between the warring Jets and Sharks — two rival gangs vying for control of the streets.

I am collecting supplies for Ukraine for a friend of mine who is organising a delivery lorry. She is based in Mansfield and is also looking for people who can help pack items and load the lorry. Medical items, toiletries and nappies can be left in the green box on the wall outside my house; The Cottage, Nethergreen.

A massive thank you to everyone who donated prizes, helped sell (big shout out to Jane at the pub) or purchased tickets we are really pleased to announce that £670 was raised. The school are so appreciative and have already placed an order for their new books.
The school children picked out the winning tickets on Tuesday and all winners have been contacted.
Personally I would really like to thank everyone in the community for supporting the school. The school is a real family and its so important to keep it in the heart of the village.
If you have any questions about the raffle please contact me on lucywigley@googlemail.com

Does anyone know anyone, or a company, that they would recommend in relation to looking at laptop issues? I have an error message that says that my SSD (disk) has ‘degraded reliability’ and only has 3% life remaining!! I have only had this message since windows auto updated to windows 11. Having spent over 1 1/2 hours on a chat line with MS support yesterday I need to actually speak to someone who knows what they are talking about and who can potentially replace the drive without me having to re-install everything from scratch (if that’s possible).
Thanks

Update from Parwich Parish Council Clerk.
A Housing Needs Survey for Parwich is currently underway.
It is about halfway through and will run until the 22nd of March.
Several questions have been raised by residents which I will try to answer for you.
Q. Will this result in new homes being built in the village?
A. Not necessarily. If there is a demonstrated local need then a housing association could apply for planning permission to build. If they did they would be subject to all the normal planning application processes. Without a demonstrated local need though a planning application would not succeed.
Q. How many homes might be built?
A. Developments are typically sized to address a third of the demonstrated local need.
Q. Will these homes be for those who identified their need in the survey?
A. This is actually quite unlikely. Because of the time needed to develop new homes many people’s current needs may have been met some other way by the time they are built. Or unfortunately they may have found that they had to move elsewhere. The assumption is that if there is a need now, then there will still be a need when any homes are built. But it may not be the same people.
Q. Might these homes just end up becoming holiday lets?
A. Current legislation places restrictions on ownership and rental to prevent this. This restiction passess with the propoerty even if it is sold on. This was not the case in the past where ‘Right to Buy” legislation allowed some properties to end up in the rented holiday or second home sector.
Q. Would these just be starter homes for young people?
A. No. They could be available to anyone will a suitable connection to the village who could not find housing here which was affordable. For example a relative who wanted to move to the village either to care for, or be cared for by, someone living here.
If you have any further questions please contact
clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk
Please encourage anyone who might have, or has had, a housing need which they could not meet in the Parish to complete the survey.

But sadly no food caddy.

The permanent closure today of the privately owned Vital Earth reprocessing facility in Ashbourne means residents are asked for the next four weeks to mix food waste in your domestic waste containers.
All food caddy collections are paused from tomorrow (1 March).
While Derbyshire Dales District Council remains one of the few councils locally to offer separate food waste collections, we apologise for the temporary inconvenience to our residents.
Vital Earth has for a number of years recycled food and garden waste from Derbyshire Dales collections into compost, used in horticulture and sold in bags at local garden centres.
The District Council has been negotiating with Serco on the new arrangements and has identified alternative recycling sites in the north and south of Derbyshire that will take the district’s garden waste, which means garden waste collections continue unchanged for residents on bin collections.
Unfortunately while one of the new sites will accept garden waste in compostable sacks, the other will not and we cannot split the Dales into separate collection areas. Residents on sack collection rounds who subscribe to our garden waste scheme have already received a direct communication from the Council about this.
We have identified an alternative option for food waste disposal and will update you on this in four weeks when operational details have been finalised with Serco.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
The Ukraine crisis pushed Brent Crude over $105 a barrel on Thursday but has since fallen back to $97 a barrel. However, we have heard from several suppliers today that a lack of product at a number of terminals is pushing kerosene prices even higher in the UK. If you do not need to order fuel, you may wish to wait until oil prices and supply issues stabilise.
Estimated delivery times are 7 to 14 working days. Delivery times are an estimated delivery time. Please allow plenty of time for your order to be delivered and take into consideration that with the cold weather comes higher oil usage so please ensure you have allowed enough time for delivery. If you are low on heating oil and need a quick delivery, this group order will not be suitable.
TIP: Over time condensation and sludge naturally build up in your tank and can cause issues if sucked into your system. We recommend adding a bottle of additive to your oil to help break down any sludge and clear the injectors and pipes, and putting a water scavenger in every few months to absorb any water that has built up at the bottom of your tank.
Additives and water scavengers can be purchased from The Oil-Club Store. Please note, if you have an AGA then please ensure you order the cooker additive.
Rate: £0.7244 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

I wonder if you could help please? My parents, Gill and Peter Simpson are despairing about being let down time & time again by tradespeople. They have been promised people to come to put in a new radiator &, look at lights in their living which have gone dim. Their summer house roof and felt has now blown off and requires repair. They also require help in the garden and for odd jobs.
I wonder if you could put a request for help with the above please but tradespeople need to be reliable and be able to do the job well!
I realise that many people are in this situation but they are becoming very anxious about this and are struggling especially with the light situation. I live up in Cumbria and have asked on Facebook for recommendations but have only managed to find substandard tradespeople.
Thanks so much in anticipation

James Bond (Daniel Craig) is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica after leaving active service. However, his peace is short-lived as his old CIA friend, Felix Leiter, shows up and asks for help.
The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain who’s armed with a dangerous new technology.

This message received from Derbyshire Dales District Council-
While household waste and recycling collections currently remain a day later than usual this week due to Monday’s floods, Serco are catching up faster than expected with some garden, food and trade waste collections.
This means some garden, food and trade waste collections have happened on residents’ usual day today – we apologise on Serco’s behalf for the lack of communication on this.
However, Serco will go back for any garden waste and food collections missed yesterday and today if you were working to the revised day-late schedule and didn’t put your container out. Simply complete the missed bin form at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/missedbin
The new message for the rest of this week is to leave garden and food waste containers out for collection *on your usual collection day*, but household waste and recycling collections will continue to be a day later than usual. Serco’s crews will work on Saturday to catch up.
MARVELLOUS!

Dear residents of Parwich. I am after your help!
My name is Jim, a Derbyshire naturalist and former countryside warden. For almost 20 years I have had a fascination with one of the UKs most enigmatic insect, the Common Glow-worm and most evening through June and July I am out searching the Derbyshire countryside to try to locate and record the species which is actually a type of beetle and not a worm at all.
Many people are totally unaware that Glow-worms (a close relative of Fireflies) even exist in Derbyshire or even the UK. They do and Derbyshire is quite a good place to find them, especially in the limestone areas of our county, where they may be found in many of the limestone dales.
Unfortunately, the number of populations of this species has declined over the past century through changes to land use, use of pesticides and increased levels of light pollution. Therefore I am trying to locate as many of our surviving Glow-worm populations as possible.
Over the last five or six years I have been trying to find new i.e. unrecorded populations as well as visiting sites with historical records, some dating back to the mid 1900’s.
There are no records that I am aware of for the immediate area around Parwich. The nearest populations being in Ballidon Dale where I saw them in 2018 and on private land a little farther east towards Brassington. There is also an old record for the Tissington Trail near Newton Grange.
It is possible that Glow-worms do exists around Parwich village and some of you may be aware of them, or have seen them there in the past, perhaps lighting your way home with their yellow bioluminescent glows, down one of the lanes on a summer evening.
Glow-worms are usually found on unimproved pastures & meadows especially steep banks or dale sides, where they feed upon slugs and snails.
I’d be grateful if anyone who may know of the whereabouts of any Glow-worms, even memories of seeing them decades ago around Parwich (or indeed anywhere else in the county) could let me know via my email address
More information about Glow-worms can be found on the UK Glow-worm Survey website (www.glowworms.org.uk ) that Glow-worm enthusiast Robin Scagell has run for almost 30 years. I now assist Robin with the survey as well as conducting my own searches in Derbyshire.
Many thanks
Jim Alder
