Oil prices continue to edge up with further news that early results for Covid-19 vaccines are proving very successful, and with pharmaceuticals filing for emergency authorisation for their vaccines. Brent Crude passes $44 a barrel this week. Delivery times are currently between 7 and 10 working days.
Tip: Beat the Christmas rush – With Christmas only 5 weeks away and oil prices rising, now would be a very good time to order your heating oil if you have not already done so. Prices in December are often much higher than normal due to increased demand for deliveries before Christmas.
Rate: £0.2797 (pence per litre excluding vat [5% for Domestic use])

In anticipation of lockdown restrictions easing, Derbyshire Dales District Council is reintroducing free parking across the district for a month from 1st December.
In a scheme designed to boost trade, for the 13th year in a row it will be free to park in any District Council pay and display car park after 2pm throughout December.
The next meeting of Parwich Parish Council will be held on Wednesday the 18th November 2020 at 7:30 pm.
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak Parish Councils continue to be advised not to meet face to face unless this is the only way that they can conduct their business.
The meeting will therefore once again be conducted using Zoom. The agenda contains login details that can be used by members of the public to join the meeting.
There is also a telephone number which will enable you to listen to the meeting and speak when permitted.
If you have not used Zoom before you are strongly advised to download their app in advance. This will enable you set it up on your device and familiarise yourself with its operation.
Val, Simon, Phil and Rosie want to thank everyone for their support over the last few weeks, and especially on Tuesday. It was very much appreciated to have so many friends and villagers at the church to welcome the funeral cortege, with special thanks going to the Parwich Oddfellows who gave a guard of honour for John.
There is an audio recording of the eulogy given by Mick Edge which we will try and post somewhere when technology allows, for those who were unable to come into the church and hear it in person.
Donations received are to be split between Ward 216 at Royal Derby and Cancer Research UK, the total currently stands at just over £800.
With the UK and a lot of European countries going into a second lockdown, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding the US Election as the vote counting continues, Brent Crude prices are staying low – hovering around the $39 a barrel mark. Delivery times are currently between 7 and 10 working days.

Has anyone lost a large (metal) barrel in the verge just past Hillcrest on the way out of the village? It’s been there for about a week or more. It has a painted green and yellow band, ‘Howard …’ on the side and an orange sticker with ‘Sira …’ on the top. I wouldn’t be able to distinguish a beer barrel from one with gunpowder in it, but someone may recognise it from the description. Please don’t cause a stampede as it may well be empty. Saskia T
Hi Parwich neighbours! I’m after a big (and FREE!) piece of plywood or some sort of wood I could make a giant chalkboard sign with for a work project. As big as possible, although our clever volunteers could probably piece them together. We could meet at a mutually agreed outdoor space for a 2 metre distanced handover. I probably should have asked about this BEFORE bonfire night! 😊

As you can see we have apples, oranges, 4 lettuces, butternut squash and some shallots. Let me know if would like anything and I can leave on the drive for you. Thanks

On Saturday the 31st October two trees at the Millennium Green on the bank above Rowan Cottage are planned to be cut down for safety reasons. At this time the contractors still intend to go ahead but this may be subject to the weather conditions on the day.
Some of the wood, cut small enough to be safely taken away by wheel barrow will be left on the Green for anyone who wishes to take it away for fire wood. Anyone wishing to collect some of this wood must wait until the contractors have completely cleared the site. Please take are when collecting any wood. If you chose to take any wood this will be taken as acceptance that you are doing so at your own risk. If you are collecting wood no vehicles should be taken onto the Green or allowed to block the road.
Any wood left in the driveway of Rowan Cottage is not for public collection.
