Regeneration Working Group
The news of the theft of the topograph
from Eccles Pike was met with dismay in the Parish and further afield.
The Parish Council is working with the National Trust and Chapel Civic
Society to provide a replacement in synthetic material in sympathy with
the stone on the summit of Eccles Pike.
High Peak Borough Council has, following consultation, committed £4,000 to
support regeneration work in the Parish for the financial year ending in
March 2012 and a further £4,000, to be matched by the Parish Council, for
the following year.

Christmas Tree Lighting
The Parish Council entered into a successful project with
Chapel Business Association which saw 72 Christmas trees on commercial
properties in the town lit with ice white lights.
The local traders are to be congratulated for the tremendous display and
it is hoped that other retailers will add to the display for Christmas
2012.
A replacement tree will be planted outside the Co-op in the next few
months.

Give
Blood
|
The need for blood
is constant and the National Blood Service needs to collect 7,000 units a
day to supply hospitals across the country with this lifesaving gift.
Travellers heading to more exotic climates like Africa, Asia or Central
and South America, where Malaria is prevalent, can be prevented from
donating for up to 6 months after they return to the UK.
Anyone aged over 17, weighing more than 50 kg (7 stone 12 lbs) and in
general good health could potentially start saving lives by becoming a
blood donor.
To book an appointment call the new ‘Donor Line’ on 0300 123 23 23

or
Make Suggestions about
the Council
|
|
Let us know what you think of us
We
want your
help to
make our
services better.
In
any organisation things will
go wrong, and that's the time you want
to be able to get in
touch with the Council
to sort
out any problems .
A lot of people feel embarrassed
or awkward when making a
complaint, and often
problems go
unnoticed, simply because people
don't let us
know.
Comment, Complaint or Compliment
We want
you
to let us know if you've got
a comment to make, whether it's
good or bad, on any of our
services. You can also make suggestions
about how we can improve
our services.
We
want you to
complain if you feel you've
been poorly treated by any of the
Council services. After all,
if
you don't
let us
know, how can we do
better?
We would also like you
to
tell us
when we do
something right.
If
you're
particularly pleased with any of
our services then let us know.
What you can expect from us
If
you
have indicated that you
require a
response we will acknowledge it within
3 working days, and give you a
detailed response within
15 working days.
We will
take your
comments and complaints seriously.
We will find out if our service
has failed, explain the
circumstances to you and correct
that failure, if we can. You can
involve your local Councillor at
any stage of this process.
Anything you say will be treated in confidence.
The forms can be
obtained from the Parish Council Office at the Town Hall. |
