The temporary suspension of garden waste collections means crews can focus on all other scheduled collections as well as catching up with recent missed household waste and recycling collections, including any excess recycling.
Some key points about collections from Monday:
👉 Some areas may see more than one waste vehicle on your street on the same day within a short period of time. Please don’t assume you have been missed (or partially missed) by the first vehicle.
👉 Catch-ups of missed collections won’t necessarily happen on your scheduled collection day. Please leave out containers for collection.
👉 Scheduled collections won’t necessarily happen at the same *time* as usual – it’s important that you present containers at the kerbside no later than 7am on your scheduled collection day (even if you are used to trucks arriving at a later time).
👉 If you have extra recycling, please make sure it is easily identifiable by leaving it in transparent or open containers (eg a box) rather than black bags, and please flatten and cut down any cardboard to fit in the 0.5 metre recycling compartment on our trucks. There’s more information on this at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/excessrecycling
Please note that the temporary suspension of food waste collections continues. Mix food waste in your household waste container. If you are on a sacks round, to help prevent animals ripping open sacks in search of food waste, you can put their usual food caddy out alongside your refuse sacks if you wish, but food inside the caddy does need to be contained within a sealed bag.

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
The OPEC+ decision last week to add additional Crude supply to the market every month starting in August and the resurgence of Covid-19 in some parts of the world led to a brief drop in the oil price last week. However, with demand holding up, Brent Crude once again passed $76 a barrel this week.
TIP: Upgrade your oil to Premium oil – It is a good idea to upgrade your fuel to Premium fuel with a bottle of Exocet Additive. Exocet Additives lower carbon emissions, stabilise fuel, clean injectors, inhibit sludge formation in your tank, and improve overall fuel performance and efficiency.
We have a selection of Additives available in The Oil-Club Store with discounted Club prices for our members. If you have an AGA or Range cooker (with a wick), then please ensure you order the Cooker Additive.
Rate: £0.4204 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Oh dear, oh dear…. This is the report I didn’t want to have to write. My regretful duty is to inform you all that we have dropped to second in the Matlock and District Thursday League. Yes, ok, we won on Thursday, at home, against a spirited Baslow side, but even as I ambled home after the match I reflected that we hadn’t won by enough. So it proved to be when the results and new table were published on Friday morning; Bradwell had had a stonking victory at Whitworth Park, scoring near maximum points to secure the coveted top spot and, albeit hopefully, temporarily, deposing us.
But all is not lost Parwich! There are six fixtures remaining and time enough for us to regroup and take this title. We will lick our wounds and rally ourselves to go all out for victory on Thursday. Albeit an away fixture at Chatsworth won’t be the easiest venue to conquer, it’s a tight and particularly tricky green, with some good local players to boot, but I know that we as a team can believe. The thought of filling that trophy with champagne – sponsorship of which I have now been kindly offered by our friends at The British Legion, is not something that we intend to let go lightly.
We started poorly by our standards Thursday, no doubt about that, and were falling narrowly behind after the doubles. But some great results in the singles by Dawn, Tony, Edith, Harry and Keith gave us the win in the end.
The Tuesday league picks up again this week after a bye last Tuesday, when we will face Matlock Park at home. We’re currently around mid-table in this competition, but do have two or three games in hand and, after some very good recent results, could yet pull ourselves up among the leaders.
Watch this space for glorious news next week, We WILL be back! Come On Parwich!

Bins
To enable Derbyshire Dales District Council to catch up on all missed waste and recycling collections to date – including excess recycling – councillors have agreed to suspend from this coming Monday (2 August) garden waste collections for a period of 4 weeks.
The Council will be contacting all its garden waste subscribers direct to confirm this narrow decision at an extraordinary council meeting last and to offer them, as recompense, a £15 discount of next year’s subscription price, which had been set at £50. Any new subscribers will pay the full amount.
Suspending garden waste collections for a maximum of 4 weeks (the equivalent of 2 collections) will release 5 drivers to focus instead on catching up with missed collections of household waste and recycling. Last night’s meeting also agreed to the cost of leasing an additional collection vehicle to help cater for an increasing number of subscriptions to the garden waste collection service until 31 March 2022.
In the meantime, as a temporary measure, we’re continuing to ask residents to mix food waste in their usual household waste (grey) bin – or sacks (if they are not on a bins round). To help prevent animals ripping open sacks in search of food waste, residents on sack rounds can put their usual food caddy out alongside their refuse sacks if they wish, but food inside the caddy does need to be contained within a sealed bag.
Please report a missed collection on our website at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/missedcollection
Parking
Parking will be free after 2pm throughout the month of September in Derbyshire Dales District Council’s car parks in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock, Matlock Bath and Wirksworth – to help stimulate town centres in the recovery from the Covid pandemic.
The estimated £45,000 cost of encouraging shoppers to return to town centres by suspending charges after 2pm in September will be met from the District Council’s Covid Funding Reserve. A report to Tuesday’s meeting estimated the cost of making parking completely free throughout September in the car parks in Ashbourne, Bakewell, Matlock, Matlock Bath and Wirksworth at more than £200,000.

As we all know, these birds, known as a ‘clattering of jackdaws’ have been swirling and wheeling over Parwich for days, mostly in the evening, 500 at least, maybe many more than that as they ask their pals to join them. The tall beech trees towering over Flaxdale have been host to the colony, though they have been seen roosting towards Tissington also. Last night we went to bed leaving all the top floor windows wide open, but Mike was woken at first light, by the clattering of jackdaws and found these menacing birds clustered OVER the barn roof outside the bathroom window, along our guttering and bedroom windowsill, across the neighbours’ roofs and in the street as if waiting for their Ted Talk to begin. Pure Hitchcock! He hastily shut the windows to prevent entry to the house. Their numbers seem to be increasing daily as more pairs join these sociable birds. They normally congregate in uninhabited places like Wicken Fen, so goodness knows why they (or the starlings for that matter) find Parwich so attractive. They can damage crops apparently, but it is mainly sheep and cattle around here. Another omen of global warming perhaps? Tin hats at the ready!

Update for Bradbourne & Parwich Heating Oil Club
OPEC+ have reached a deal this week to increase supply to the market from August onwards in a bid to cool off oil prices which had reached 2 1/2 year highs. This has removed some uncertainty from the market and subsequently caused Brent Crude prices to dip this week just over $73 a barrel, however Goldman Sachs have voiced their expectations that Brent Crude could reach $80 a barrel later this summer.
TIP: Remove unwanted water from your tank – Over time condensation causes water to build up at the bottom of your tank (especially after warmer weather), and if stirred up into the oil when new fuel is added the water can be sucked through your fuel line into your system and cause issues.
To combat this, we recommend using water scavengers every 3 months or so to absorb and remove any water sat in your tank. You can find a range Water Scavengers and the Water Test Kit in our Club Store in the members area.
Rate: £0.4184 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

Travels with Parwich Crown Green Bowling Club take us to a plethora of entrancing venues throughout the Derbyshire countryside, but few to the aristocratic settings of England’s finest old stately homes. Such was the case, though, on Tuesday as we arrived at Chatsworth amid the sweeping vista of the magnificent building itself across the Derwent, to the tight little bowling green idyllically set betwixt the splendid estate office building and he church spire. Inspection of the team sheet revealed that the Duke of Devonshire himself was not playing that evening, evidently either not being a member or else simply too much in awe of this successful Parwich side.
Personally I found it one of the trickier greens on the circuit; compact, perplexing and with one corner at least possessing a mind of its own. Nevertheless, we set about the task nobly (would there be any other way here?) and our strivings began to pay off as we took the upper hand by the half way mark, fighting from behind in most of the games to take the match by a 73-60 margin on a night of strong sunshine and intense heat needing punctuation by several on-green drinks breaks.
Then back to the Thursday competition and we were on the road again to a strong Matlock Park side to try to strengthen our position as league leaders. The match had been put back two and a half hours to try and avoid playing in the heat of the day, something about mad dogs, Englishmen and bowlers, etc. After playing the singles games we edged into a slim lead which the Team pulled out all stops to hang on to during the doubles; not one player giving an inch, though home advantage was to win through on this occasion after two games going down to the final point, and we finished having to yield to the narrowest of margins, losing 131 to 126.
How did Bradwell get on? – was the burning question. Well the upshot was that the result means we slip to second in the table, but only under the secondary sorting criteria of points against, as league points alone mean that we are level. Reflecting on the evening in a hostelry on the way home, after an excellent steak and kidney pudding and pint of local ale, the World of bowls didn’t seem too bad, and the chance to put things right at home to Baslow next week will, I’m sure, bolster the Team to strain every last sinew to reclaim the position we feel rightfully ours. Come on Parwich, we can do this! Mark J…

Looking for a barn/unit to rent for a week. Large enough to get a VW crafter high roof in and work round. Need space so we can spray the body and leave to dry. We can cover area if required to prevent mess but using a spray that does not give out much mess.
Please contact Dan on 07856098515
Thanks

Just to be aware.
I just walked the dog down Kiln Lane. About halfway down there’s a tree with yellow flowers on the right.
At the moment their seems to be a fair number of wasps in the branches, hopefully just resting and not nesting.

There are still a few places left for our visit to Thornbridge Hall Gardens on 28 July. Entry is free to RHS members ( on production of current RHS membership card) or £7.00 to non RHS members, meet in the car park at Thornbridge Hall at 1.30pm.
As the venue is quite close and coach travel is a little complicated we are lift-sharing.
Please let me know if you would like to join us (non PDHS members welcome) and also whether you are prepared to drive and offer lifts to others (tel 561 or email glynisdrummond@gmail.com). I will then coordinate the lift share. There are currently seats available for those who don’t want to drive.
