and perhaps food caddy…
as our council tells us –
Last week council staff emptied more than 2,200 caddies, equating to around 24 tonnes of food waste. Our own Clean & Green teams will again assist on Tuesday and Friday this week with food waste collections.
One can only dream that serco will be reimbursing the Council for this?

Just a reminder that as a Society we want to promote going peat free. As highlighted in past blog posts aswell as with samples of peat free potting compost at our last talk, we gardeners need to do our bit to protect sensitive peat landscapes and safeguard these repositories of carbon dioxide.
If you intend to donate plants for sale this year please could you ensure that they are potted up in peat free compost. We plan to only sell plants and seedlings that are grown in peat free compost this year. We want to be ahead of the ban on sales of compost containing peat which is due to come into force in 2024.
If you prefer to let us have bare roots to pot up on your behalf please contact Sue H on 334.

We’ve been asked by the Parish Council to post the following-
On several occasions the Parish Council have been contacted by residents concerned about vehicles getting stuck on the corner between Kiln Lane and Creamery Lane.
The Council is aware of the hazard and inconvenience this causes. Unfortunately the Parish Council has no powers install signage or other measures to reduce the risk. Previous attempts to get the Highways Authority, Derbyshire County Council (DCC), to install suitable warning signs have been unsuccessful.
However they did suggest that a record be kept every time this happens. This could be used to try again to justify some action.
The Council are asking residents who observe problems on the corner to e-mail the parish Clerk on clerk@parwichparishcouncil.co.uk .
Please include as much information as you can. This could include, but not be limited to:
- Date
- Time of day
- What type of vehicle was it?
- How long any vehicle was stuck?
- Was a recovery vehicle required to move it?
- Was the road beyond the corner blocked?
- Was the vehicle damaged?
- Was any property damaged?
- Was there any other damage?
- A photo if possible.
Even if is quickly resolved please make a report to add to the evidence.
… and don’t assume someone else will report it!
The more reports we get, even of the same incident, the more impact we hope this will have with DCC .
The number of incidents reported will be logged in the Parish Council minutes. When this makes what the Council feels is a compelling case we will write to them again.

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch takes place at the end of this month. Let’s make this an occasion to do a Big Parwich Garden Birdwatch. Anyone wanting to take part please also send in your sightings to us and we’ll publish the results. Anyone who fancies something different than staring into your garden how about spending an hour sitting in the Pump Hill Garden- it would be interesting to record what birds are making use of the area.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
Over the past week, drone attacks against targets in the UAE and escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine have pushed oil prices higher, with Brent Crude passing $87 a barrel and at one point passing $89, the highest level since 13th October 2014.
Delivery times are 7 to 12 working days. Delivery times are an estimated delivery time, as some suppliers are once again suffering some level of driver shortages due to self-isolating. Therefore, please allow plenty of time for your order to be delivered. If you are low on heating oil and need a quick delivery, this group order will not be suitable.
TIP: Do your bit for the environment – Want to give back to the environment to offset the carbon emissions generated by your heating oil order? We offer our members options to do just that, including purchasing a tree to plant in the UK or by donating to protect a long-established tree in the Amazon Rainforest or both, via our partner Carbon Footprint.
To find out more about our carbon offsetting options, please see the Carbon Offset section in our Club Store.
Rate: £0.5771 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])
