Consultation on proposed charges for new waste bins and containers

Derbyshire Dales residents are being asked for their views on proposals to introduce chargesfor replacement waste and recycling bins.

The Council claims that replacing damaged or lost bins costs the tax payers around £28,000 ayear and the annual supply of black sacks and garden waste sacks costs £30,000.

With the Council under pressure to make financial savings, a survey has been launched to asklocal people what they think about being charged for their annual supply of black sacks, biode-gradable garden waste sacks and replacement bins and waste containers.

No decisions have been made at this stage. Councillors will consider the responses to the sur-vey in the Autumn and make a decision based upon the feedback.

The consultation ends on 30 September 2016 and I encourage all residents to take part.

I would also be interested to know what you think as I will eventually be voting on whether ornot to introduce any new charges. You can contact me using the details below.

You can take part in the survey on the Council's website, http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk,or contact me for a paper copy.

Defibrillator Update

In the last edition of the Elton Echo, I told residents about the Parish Council's plans to install adefibrillator in the village. I also asked local residents for donations towards the purchase ofthe equipment and its upkeep and maintenance.

I am pleased to report that a one-off donation has been gratefully received from an Elton resi-dent. This kind donation will allow us to purchase the defibrillator and the cabinet.

I am now in conversation with the Community Heartbeat Trust to have the equipment installedin the Elton telephone box at the earliest opportunity.

Continuity and changeHarvest is one of the occasions in the year when wetend to think in terms of tradition. Like Christmas (lessso Easter) we love to hear the traditional hymnsassociated with the festival. The smell of fruit andflowers in church are profoundly evocative, and forrural communities harvest is an important “marker” inthe year, like Christmas and Easter.

Many of those who have lived in this area for years know that the reality of life in thecountryside has changed dramatically. There are fewer farms and even fewer farmers. Theproduction of our food is increasingly regulated by people who seem to have littleunderstanding or concern for the changes that those regulations make locally. It’s hard tokeep pace with the change and harder still to gauge how it will all end especially now that wehave chosen to leave the European Union.

The consequences of these changes are far reaching both in economical and human terms.The pressures placed upon farmers and their families can result in “casualties” and when thefear of Bovine TB is near, then those pressures are increased.

The Church has played a part in the pastoral care of the farming community for manygenerations. It has provided a place of celebration at harvest time, a space to give thanks toGod for a way of life which continues to change with each successive year.

Alan Griggs is employed as an agricultural chaplain in Derbyshire. His core work is to have aregular presence at the livestock market in Bakewell on Mondays and to visit farms in thatarea. His brief has recently been extended to include the rest of the Derbyshire Dales (whichincludes the area covered by the Wirksworth Team Ministry). Alan’s work is another exampleof the Church of England’s commitment to rural communities at a time when so manychanges are taking place. Harvest is celebrated at Elton Church this year at 6pm on Sunday 9thOctober, and as in recent years we hope to have a special school celebration at 6pmon theFriday evening 7th with a Harvest Supper and brief service. Come and celebrate God’s gifts tous!

Bin collections

I have been made aware that missed bin collections have been occurring again from time-to-time on Back Lane, Ivy Lane and East End. This has been happening over the past fewmonths along with similar problems in parts of Winster.

I have spoken at length with officers at the District Council about these problems which havebeen raised with Serco operatives. The situation will be monitored by the District Council andI will be kept informed of any developments.

I want to thank residents who continue to keep me informed about missed collections and Iappreciate their cooperation and patience.

Residents are being encouraged to directly report problems with their waste collection to theDistrict Council on 01629 761100. This ensures the complaints are individually logged andused in any case against Serco's poor performance. I too would like to be kept informed if youare having problems with your collection, so that I can deal with repeat problem areas.

Community Party Thanks

A community celebration and barbeque took place on 12 June 2016 on The Croft, Well Streetto celebrate the Queen's 90th Birthday. The event was jointly held by Elton Parish Counciland Elton All Saints Church.

It was great to see so many people from Elton and Gratton joining us to enjoy the barbeque,shared table of food, bouncy castle, raffle, bowls and guess the weight of the cake.

On behalf of the Parish Council and Church, I want to thank everybody who helped to make ithappen on the day and everybody who came along to join us. We hope you enjoyed it.

The event was such a success that the Parish Council and Church will be joining up to do asimilar event next summer.

See page 14 for photos of this event

It was unfortunate that a number of members and friends were unable to attendour June meeting, as we had an excellent speaker, although we were pleasedto welcome eight members from Rowsley WI. David Wood, Master Thatcher,came to tell us how he became interested in thatching, of his many years as anapprentice and of his varied work today. He brought his tools, samples of hismaterials and a model roof section on which to demonstrate his craft.

In July, in complete contrast, Jo Walker took us on a light-hearted trip downmemory lane with her talk on Biscuits. She concluded by revealing today’s topten favourites. It was a very enjoyable evening.

In August we traditionally have an evening walk. This year it will be on the HighPeak Trail from Minninglow ending with a picnic for both walkers and nonwalkers. We hope for fine weather.

During the Summer we arranged two outings. Some members went to BuxtonOpera House to see a lively performance of Joseph and his TechnicolouredDreamcoat and we also had a delicious lunch out at Biggin Hall.

Our plans for the Autumn include a visit to Styal Museum Cheshire in September.

A letter published in on 6th July this year .....

My husband and I recently celebrated our diamond wedding anniversary with a card from theQueen. It led me to think back to our first date and how we’d first called at a small paper shop formy copy of . In fact, it’s always been a part of my life.

Years later, after marrying my husband and having two children, I’d wheel the pushchair to collecta copy from our corner shop. Even distance couldn’t separate me from my weekly read. Aftermoving to South Africa for a time, my friends ensured I got hold of a copy as often as possible.

Now my husband and I - both in our eighties - have been readers for 65 years, so we’d like to thank for being there in our wonderful life!

ELTON BEER FESTIVAL RESULTS

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who came to our 12th Annual Beer Festival for theirsupport, both from the village and farther afield. We think over 500 people attended on the day.We must also thank all the volunteers who helped throughout the day and those who helped clearup on Sunday morning plus not forgetting those who put up and took down the marquee. Finally,we must thank all our sponsors for their continued support. Without everyone’s help this eventcould not take place.

What a brilliant day we had!! The weather was excellent, the bands were great, the beer wasconsumed in vast quantities and the food was perfect, unfortunately this went too quickly, butthat’s better than having a lot left over at the end of the day. Hopefully, we’ll get it right next year.

So, how did we do? ……. Well our takings were considerably up on previous years, which meanswe were able to achieve a profit after expenses of just over £6120, our best result ever!!!

This will help us to continue to put the finishing touches to the new pavilion.

The 100 Club

For many new residents in the village you may not know what this is. It was started whenthe Jubilee Field was purchased by the village in 1977, to raise a regular income for theupkeep of the field. Residents were invited to chose a number from 1 to 100 for whichthey paid £1 per month. Each month three or four numbers were drawn at WI meetingsand the holders received a cash prize.

This still runs today and there are quite a few spare numbers available for anyoneinterested. Contact Cath Dawe on 650649 if you would like to take part.

Also, we are short of volunteer collectors, so if you could spare an hour or so, which wouldbe at the most once a month and more likely once a quarter, then please contact Cath whowill be delighted to hear from you.

Ramblings can take various forms, but is most commonly understood inthe walking sense of the word, where you stroll about the countryside,observing the landscape and the natural world, while simultaneouslyholding an intense but banal conversation with like minded members ofthe Walking Group. This is a fine way to spend the weekend, asevidenced by the number of participants passing through Elton .

But there are other ways of Rambling and one that I like combinesRambling with Music, which might seem unlikely until I tell you about arecent visit to the Matlock Bath Music Festival. This annual event is heldat … well, Matlock Bath … where on a certain weekend Saturday in thefine month of July, a total number of nine local venues spread along NorthParade, from the Fishpond pub in the south to the County and Station pubin the north, each play host to an eclectic selection of bands and musicalartists. Which amounted this year to approximately 60 different choices ofmusical entertainment - but spread evenly between the locations andsome of them running concurrently. This is where the rambling comes in,because - as is the nature of chaos - none of the acts which you mightchoose to see are neatly arranged in adjacent timeslots or locations foryour delectation. The result is that, having consulted the comprehensiveand well organised programme of events, [ and the whole event appearsto be very well organised ] you find it will be necessary to be in two placesat the same time more or less, in order to take your pleasure in the offerings.

9 Village News and ViewsTHE BLACK DOG - GRATTON’S LITTLE SECRET

‘Do you mind if I join you Gerald?’ The works canteen was packed. There was only one seat not taken.Unfortunately it was the one next to Gerald. It was 1978 and I was three weeks into my new job in Heanor.Virtually everyone had warned me about Gerald. That he had an unbelievably quick temper, that he ruled thedespatch department with a rod of iron and, most disturbing of all, that he resented newcomers to the company.For three weeks I had heeded all the warnings and given him, and the despatch department, a very wide berthbut now there was no choice. There was only one seat left and it was next to Gerald. However - against all theodds the man seemed rather welcoming. ‘Sure – sit yourself down’. I was a little taken aback. Had the manywarnings been overdone? If not - why was he being so amicable? Gerald continued in the same rather pleasantvein. ‘They tell me you live out in the wilds above Matlock. Do you know Gratton?’ So that was it. He just wantedto pick my brains about the Peak District. ‘Yes – I live at Elton – only a mile or so away.’ Gerald swallowed anotherspoonful of custard before continuing. ‘So – tell me - what do you have to do to get a drink in Gratton? Me andthe Missus hike round that way regular but the pub there is always closed’. Speaking momentarily beforeengaging my brain, I then said the sort of thing no sane person ever said to Gerald. I knew I was on dangerousground almost as I spoke the words but, possibly because I was so sure of my facts, they just came out anyway.‘I think you’re mixed up Gerald – you mean the pub in Elton – the Duke of York. There isn’t a pub in Gratton’.The much feared manager of the despatch department fixed me with a steely stare, his whole demeanoursuddenly more threatening. Gerald was back in default mode. ‘I know Elton, I know Gratton, I know the Duke ofYork. I said the pub in Gratton and I meant the pub in Gratton. The Black something or other’, he growled.

There was a sudden thud towards the base of my brain as the penny finally dropped. How could I have been sodense? Of course - Gerald was referring to ‘The Black Dog’. Granada Television had dramatised a number ofshort stories by H E Bates and A E Coppard in their ‘Country Matters’ series some five or six years earlier. Granadahad used the old, and for many years empty, Cheese Factory in Gratton as the setting for The Black Dog pub intheir dramatisation of the Coppard story of the same name. Somewhat bizarrely, the make-believe pub signswere left in place for several years afterwards and I doubt whether, during that time, Gerald was the only personwandering through Gratton on a warm day disappointed not to be able to quench his thirst at the Black Dog ‘pub’.

So what brings all this to mind now? Well - it has always been possible to view brief snippets of the Granadaproduction on ‘You Tube’ but, since April this year, its now possible to watch the whole thing. If you areinterested - go onto ‘You Tube’ and search for ‘Country Matters – The Black Dog’. As well as a good deal ofcomings and goings (mainly by pony and trap) in Gratton, some of the most important action is shot on the smallbridge over the River Wye midway between the Monsal Head Hotel and Cressbrook. Personally, I think the localscenery is much more interesting than the story but perhaps that is being a little unfair. In truth a rather darkstory set in the years just before the First World War, ‘The Black Dog’ is a tale of love, class and jealousy leadingto a tragic conclusion.

The female lead is played by the stunningly pretty Jane Laportoire and her father by Glyn Houston. There is alsoan all too brief cameo appearance (as a farmer) by the late Fred Feast – who later became better known as FredGee, the barman at the Rovers Return in Coronation Street.

As for Gerald – I soon discovered that he loved to wax lyrical about his frequent walks in this area. By the timehe retired a few years later, strange as it may seem, he and I had become quite good mates and we often shareda laugh about how we had got off on the wrong foot concerning the ‘pub that never was’.

New Community Focussed Peak District Business Pledges Charity Support

Peak District based men’s clothing business, PK Clothing, has pledged to support local charity Helen’s Trustby sharing their first year’s profits to help the charity.

Born and bred in the Peak District, the owners of PK Clothing are passionate about, not just offering top ofthe range quality products, but of building a brand that sells the Peak District lifestyle and that residents canbe proud of.

Their corporate social responsibility is of paramount importance and, from day one, they have acknowledgedthat supporting their community will be a priority.

Following development of a long term strategy to support a range of local charities Joe Gratton, MD of PKClothing decided to focus on one charity in the first year, that charity being Helen’s Trust, who support peopleacross the High Peak and North Derbyshire with terminal illness to remain at home at the end of their illness.

On why they chose Helen’s Trust Joe says “It was after reading an article in the Peak Advertiser early in 2016about Helen's Trust that made up our mind. It stated that the charity may no longer be able to offer itsservices if it didn't suddenly find funds from somewhere. The light bulb went on; we need to do our bit tohelp! Even though this is our first year of trading we still want to give a portion of our hard work back to thepeople who need it most.

“Helen's Trust gives an exceptional service to people in our local area who are suffering from terminal illness.With their services at hand many people can manage effectively at home rather than a hospital. If we feel atthe end of the year we haven't contributed enough to Helen's Trust we shall make them our charity partnerfor another year. It is an extremely worthy cause and I'm sure our customers will help us raise as much moneyas possible for them. ”

Helen’s Trust Fundraising and Business Manager Zoe Woodward says “Helen’s Trust would not be able toprovide our valuable services without the support of our local community and it is great to be working withPK Clothing who really care so much about their local area too. We’d like to wish the PK team the very bestwith their exciting new business and thank them for choosing to partner with Helen’s Trust in their first yearof trading.”

ELTON REGAIN LONGSTONE LEAGUE TITLE

Elton Cricket Club continued their dominance of the evening cricket league with their seventh LongstoneLeague title in the past nine seasons made certain by a comprehensive victory over last year’s champions.

A scriptwriter could not have set things up better. The two best teams in the league this year, GreatLongstone and Elton, met for the penultimate game of the season. Going into the match both teamsboasted perfect records with wins in every game played so far. It was the final showdown – winner takesall. Even the weather played ball. All season players and spectators had endured cold dark and very oftendamp evenings but on this occasion there was not a cloud in the sky as the teams took to the field.

The neutrals assessed that there was very little between the teams and anticipated a close game. In factmost made Great Longstone’s fine team the slight favourites if only because they won the league last yearand were playing on their own ground. Perhaps they reckoned without Elton’s steely determination toregain a trophy which, over the years, they had come to regard almost as their own property.

The home side elected to bat first but met some good old fashioned straight bowling by Elton backed upby enthusiastic fielding. Elton cantered home by the comfortable margin of nine wickets. The additionalbonus points gained by the margin of victory meant that, with one game still to play, Elton could not becaught and the league trophy would soon be on the way back to its familiar spot behind the bar at theDuke of York.

In this game as all others over the past decade Elton stuck with their policy of using home grown talent.No fewer than nine of their usual league side attended Elton School. This is a true village team in everysense of the word and the standard they have achieved is all the more remarkable for it. No other teamin the area can begin to match this homespun player policy so it is entirely appropriate that Elton do sowell in what, after all, is supposed to be a competition for local cricketers.

With its small population Elton is lucky to have so many talented cricketers of roughly the same age butthey won’t go on for ever. With the football team now sadly defunct we are fortunate that the cricket club(along with the similarly successful darts team who share some of the same personnel) are keeping Eltonon the local sporting map. Things would be even better if there were a clutch of sporty teenagers comingthrough the ranks to take the place of the current cricketers when they decide to call it a day. At themoment – there is no sign of this. The Sunday team is crying out for local youngsters to have a go withthem in what is always a relaxed and friendly atmosphere far removed from the intense competition ofthe midweek league games. Why not park up those smartphones for a while, get out in the fresh air andgive it a go. You might turn out to be very good. For a reason I don’t totally understand, the odds seemto be that if you come from Elton – you will be!

Now it is about three quarters of a mile from one end of the stretch of NorthParade to the other. The Music Festival lasts from about midday tillmidnight. Each band might play for half an hour. You want to see perhaps12 out of the 60 acts. Doing some quick maths, I reckon we probablycovered about 8 or 9 miles that afternoon ! Sometimes there was time tostroll from one venue to the next, sometimes there wasn’t and we had tohurry. But being tired by now, it was better to repair to one of the hostelriesfor sustenance, because let's not forget, there is the evening still stretchingbefore you and yet more miles to ramble.

So you see, it is possible to combine Rambling with Music. Actually it wasn’tso much leisurely rambling as a marathon, but that’s what was required tosee your choice of bands. Was it worth it you are perhaps thinking. Well …yes, yes, YES. It was tiring, but it was such an enjoyable day as thingsturned out. It had been raining heavily on the morning of the event and itdidn’t look like a very promising for strolling the North Parade. But bylunchtime, the rain had stopped and people could take part in thecontinental atmosphere that thus prevailed, though there was still a distinctlack of sunshine There they were, scoffing burgers as they waddled along,swigging from the tinnies whilst berating unruly kids who were objecting tothis sort of fun.

But this is just what I like to see. I enjoy watching people enjoyingthemselves, (so I shouldn’t be judgemental). And I enjoyed the Music. AndI enjoyed the Rambling. What a great day it had been !
