FEEL CONFIDENT WITH A DERBYSHIRE TRUSTED TRADER
Finding a company that you can trust to do some work for you can be a bit
daunting – how can you be sure that you won’t get ripped off? What if
things go wrong? How do you choose between lots of different
companies? These sorts of dilemmas were a driving force behind the
setting up by Derbyshire County Council of the Trusted Trader scheme to
help local people find traders and businesses that do a good job at a fair
price and provide good customer service.
That was back in 2008 and the popular scheme has gone from strength to
strength. These days there are nearly 17,000 searches each month on the
Trusted Trader website, www.derbyshire.gov.uk/tt by people looking for
reliable companies to use. Another ringing endorsement for the scheme
was a recent survey which gathered feedback from more than 16,000
people who had used a Trusted Trader and an impressive 94% said they
were very satisfied with the service they received.
So people can have lots of confidence when employing one of the 1,200
traders who are part of the scheme. In the very unlikely event of someone
having a problem with one of the traders then help is at hand. Derbyshire
County Council trading standards officers can get involved in any queries
involving Trusted Traders and seek to resolve them
The scheme particularly helps to protect older and vulnerable adults by
making it easier for them to use Trusted Traders rather than rogue traders
who typically cold-call and use high pressure sales techniques. A recent
development has been the inclusion of Financial Advisors who specialise
in providing financial advice for people in later life and can help with
matters like care fees, pensions and investments.
Find out more about all aspects of Trusted Trader
at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/tt or call 01629 536148. Enquiries are also
welcome from businesses interested in signing up to the scheme –
membership brings lots of benefits and costs only £70 - £100 per year.
Group Community Fire Safety – March 2016 Hello to you all once again. Sad news again I am afraid to start this edition. Fatal Fire. Sadly on Sunday 14th February a man in his early 30s died in a house fire in Newhall, Derbyshire. It was a severe fire which the Fire and Rescue Service have concluded was accidental and had started after cooking had been left unattended. The Fire and Rescue Service have stated that ‘it could not be sure whether or not the house was fitted with working smoke alarms’. Please therefore check your property to ensure you have a ‘working smoke alarm’ on every level of your home. Test it weekly and check on your neighbours and elderly. The Fire & Rescue Service will carry out a ‘free survey’ of your home and give advice. They even fit Smoke Alarms, where needed free of charge. Call the Fire & Rescue Service Headquarters on 01332 77122. They will direct you to the Area Office.
Cooking Fire Safety If you do choose to deep fat fry your chips, these all-year-round fire safety tips could help reduce the risk: Don't overfill a chip pan with oil - never fill it more than one-third full. Be careful that it doesn't overheat - hot oil can catch fire easily. Use a thermostat-controlled deep-fat fryer, which will make sure the fat
doesn't get too hot Never throw water on a chip pan fire. Don't cook after drinking alcohol. In the event of a fire, have an escape route in place. Don't take risks by tackling a fire. Get out, stay out and call 999. Get a smoke alarm and test it weekly. Tea Lights start a fire in a house in Derby at 8.00pm on Thursday 18th February. The occupants were alerted to the fire by a ‘baby alarm’ in the upstairs bedroom. They rushed upstairs to find the bathroom ablaze. They rescued their children and left the property. The ‘Baby Alarm’ had picked up the noise of the shower door collapsing in the bathroom due to the heat. The cause of the fire? Established as ‘Tea Lights left on a fiberglass bath’ ???
Derbyshire Fire & Rescue gives you the following tips:
Never leave Burning Candles or Tea lights unattended.
Candles or Tea Lights should only ever be placed on a non-flammable surface or in a Candle Holder.
Never place Candles or Tea Lights on window sills, the side of baths or on the floor.
Never place Candles or Tea Lights on fibreglass baths
Do not place Burning Candles or Tea Lights close to curtains, bedding, clothing or plants which could catch fire.
Use Electric Candles or Tea Lights. Fire Escape
Ensure you have a ‘Pre-planned and practiced Escape Plan’ in case you have to evacuate your home or premises.
Ensure everyone is aware of it. Keep Safe. My regards to you all. Tony Higton QFSM GIFireE

A THANK YOU – CHRISTMAS CRAFTS & THINGS
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped in any way to
make St Peters Church Parwich Christmas Tree & Craft Festival such a
magical and successful occasion. The thought and talent which went into
decorating those trees was amazing and with such short notice too. Also
thank you to the Crafters who worked in the Church for the whole
weekend and for all the tea & mincepie providers, not forgetting Ross
Hunt who magically came up with a date for us with very little notice at
such a busy time.
Thanks again to All, Gill Simpson

COFFEE MORNINGS
It was a very cold and wet day when our Coffee Morning took place on February 17th. Sadly, it meant that very few of us came along. However, we had a pleasant time chatting and putting the world to rights!! A total of £40.00 was donated and a cheque for this amount has been sent to WaterAid for their Lent Appeal. We always like to support them, particularly during Lent, as they do wonderful work in helping the world’s poorest people gain access to clean, safe water and sanitation. Their work is lifesaving. It is difficult to imagine what it would be like not to have clean water or sanitation of any description.
Careline were most grateful to receive our donation last month and have thanked us for it. They no long receive lottery funding and are trying to find ways of raising money to keep the ‘befriending service’ going. All the clients are so appreciative of being able to talk to someone, be it every day or once or twice a week.
Future Dates: March 16th and April 20th between 10.30 am and 12 noon in the Village Hall as usual. The charity to benefit from any donations in March will be the local Air Ambulance Service for Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland. Please come and join us. RH
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE PARTY
Shrove Tuesday and the beginning of Lent were celebrated in Thorpe in the usual way with our Pancake Party and we were very pleased to welcome visitors from other parishes too – all are very welcome. Sadly, most of the children have grown up now and we certainly missed their enthusiasm but certain adults tried hard to compete with the children’s previous pancake eating records! This light-hearted evening is only possible with the help and support of many people, and in particular the “pancake makers” and the maker of some really delicious extra fillings. Thank you to everyone who helped in any way.
Sue Smith N.B. I would like to thank Sue on behalf of everybody else for all her hard work in organising this party. She always does it so well and it is time-consuming. RH
Tissington NOTES FROM THE HALL MARCH 2016
CLEAN for the QUEEN
As you know the Queen is 90 this year and we all are encouraged to clean
up our areas prior to the celebrations. I am organising a Litter Pick in the
village on Friday 4 March and Saturday 5 March between 10 and 1pm.
I have the bags, the picking sticks etc and the enthusiasm.
Can you join me please? I already have several volunteers but we will
finish with tea coffee and cake at the Tearooms each day. Please contact
me at The Office.
State of the Village Roads
You will see that the roadside verges have been trashed by ALL traffic
over the Winter. As you can see from the Avenue and the village and the
road to the ford the road is getting wider and traffic quicker. Please can
you ALL respect that farmers prefer to farm grass rather than see vehicles
all over the grass. Please can you all respect that.
Well Dressings May 5-11 2016
Just a reminder that Ascension Day is on Thursday 5th
May this year and
that the Wells will be dressed between 5-11 May. Could all new residents
note that a ONE WAY SYSTEM operates that week to avoid traffic
congestion. Please could all adhere to this system.

At our January meeting Patrick Poitevin gave a most interesting talk about
his travels to the Solar Eclipses around the World.
In February Alison Walker spoke about the reflexology of the ears in her
talk ‘Our Extraordinary Ears’.
Thank you to both our excellent speakers.

Tissington Village Hall Committee
As already advertised, several members of the Tissington
Village Hall Committee will be standing down at the Annual
General Meeting in May. In particular, we will be looking for a
new Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. If anyone feels able
to take on board any of these roles, it would be appreciated if
they would contact Helen Walker, on 01335 390400. All are
welcome to the meeting and the date will be published shortly.
The Hall is a much valued facility which enhances our
lovely village. The present Committee have worked hard to
ensure that it is in very good order and it would be a huge
shame if this Hall could not continue in its present role of
ensuring a warm and inviting space for any social event or
meeting held in the Village.
TISSINGTON AND LEA HALL PARISH COUNCIL
Minutes of the meeting held on 7th
December 2015 at Tissington Village Hall
Present: Chairman: Chris Carr, George Maxwell, Stuart Naylor, John Etches, Vice Chairman: Sir
Richard Fitzherbert
Apologies: None
Clerk: Joanne Poitevin.

Minutes of the meeting on: 5th

Matters Arising:
1. Minor Maintenance Grant: The grant that Tissington & Lea Hall currently claims to
help pay for the maintenance of footpaths is currently under consultation. If the new
proposals are accepted the change will happen in June 2016. The proposals are that
although the type of work that can be undertaken will expand to tarmac, the system will
be a bidding process. The councillors and the clerk will work to ensure that the
necessary action is taken so bids are put in a timely manner, should this be necessary.
2. Xmas Bins: The clerk has place the information in the notice board, website, and
facebook page to let parishioners know the collection arrangement for the holiday
season.

again.

of repair. This has been reported and inspected by BT, repair should be week

December. Works No: EM9AAG33
4. Leaf Clearance: The councillors would like to thank Adele for complaining re: Leaf
Litter which has meant a sweep of the village.

AOB
a. Housing: Cllr Fitzherbert stated that D Dales have a commitment to build 6000 homes
in the future. Ideas being mentioned were new builds, and sharing the responsibility out
to all villages, however in a county with a National Park, the areas to build are reduced.
The problem with there being a national park within Derbyshire is that all of the
allocation needs to be built in half the county. The issues of building new housing
within National Park land are complex, and within an Estate village, such as Tissington
even more so, the older properties doesn’t necessarily suit people with young families,
and the village has a imbalanced population. The Council would invite parishioners to
consider new housing, and welcome your views on the subject.
b. Minor Project Fund: Sir Richard had received a project to overhaul the Ash Tip, by
Town Well, from the Forestry Club, it would involve children planting new trees, and
general cleaning the area, which has become very untidy and overgrown.
c. Announcement: Sadly, Revd Andy Larkin has resigned, he expects to move to his new
posting early 2016. The councillors would like to thank him for his service, and wish
him well in his new position and home.
