Church Clock
02/09/17 12:12
Most of you have no doubt been aware that the Church Clock has not worked for sometime. Some may have thought that it was an indication that the Church itself was closed. The PCC has for some years tried to repair what is a very special 19th Century Plimmer timepiece but nothing worked for long.
Now, using Smith’s of Derby, the PCC has commissioned a complete overhaul and a new auto wind system. However this is very costly as it involves the complete dismantling of the clock transportation to Derby for the work to be carried out and the repositioning after in the Church Tower.
The complete repair and refurbishment of the church clock is now underway and as advised in last month's newsletter, the PCC is asking for your generous donations to help us fund this work, which is costing well over £4000.
We have already received a very generous donation from the Arts Society and will be asking other local businesses and organisations for their support. Meanwhile your gift-aided donations in the envelope provided, which can be delivered to any PCC member, will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
Road Closure Thurvaston Road
02/09/17 12:00
Derbyshire County Council have advised that a section of 400 yards of Thurvaston Road from the junction of Weston Bank in a Northerly direction will be closed from 9.30am – 3.30pm. This to allow works by BT.
Further Information has been requested by the Parish Council from the Highways Authority regarding access to the Primary School for afternoon pick up and to the Village Car Park (adjacent) on both closure days. The diversion route is via Barway and Cubley Lane.
Further information will be made available when a response is received. But for parents with concerns I would suggest contacting the School to see if they have more comprehensive information.

Well Dressing
01/09/17 08:50
Despite very late preparations, election interruptions and mixed weather the village Well Dressings and fete attracted good support once again, this year a total profit of £700 was generated which will be split between the relevant charities accordingly.
Thanks to all those who helped prepare for the event including all the hard work on the wells themselves, those who made donations for the raffle and stalls and those that gave time on the day.
We have received a letter from Macmillan Cancer Support thanking us for the £362.15 we sent as a result of our fundraising at the Well Dressing; they are very grateful and it will help their work.
