MEMORIAL PARK
You may have noticed over the winter months that
there has been a problem with drainage around the football pitch in
the Memorial Park. We are currently installing a new drainage system
in this area, so hopefully the Junior Football Club will be able to
utilise the pitch more. Plastic sheeting has been placed on the roof
of the Park Keeper’s building by the Bowling Green. This is because
the lead has been removed from the roof by some night time visitors.
We will be replacing the lead with a synthetic alternative in order
to avoid a similar event.
Solar Lights
PCSO Julie Shaw has raised £1,700 from her sponsored
bike ride to provide a solar light in the Memorial Park, which
hopefully will be installed in the next few months near the
skatepark area. Well done to Julie for all her efforts, which the
Council fully supported.

Calling All Dog
Owners
There has been an increase in the amount of dog
fouling that has been left in the Memorial Park and not cleared
away. Responsible dog owners who scoop their dog’s poop are being
seriously let down by an irresponsible minority in an area where
young children play. If you know of persistent offenders, we would
welcome names and addresses. Prosecutions will take place and the
maximum fine is now £2000, with offenders being named and shamed. |
Seats around the
Parish
We currently have about 50 seats around the Parish
which have undergone a major refurbishment programme over the winter
months
Progressive Market Towns
Work has now been completed on Terrace Road and Church Brow to
restore areas of the setts and paving. This has been funded by
Progressive Market Towns, Chapel Regeneration Partnership and
Heritage and Regeneration funding.

Regeneration Partnership
High Peak Borough Council is currently reviewing the
future of Regeneration Partnerships. In view of the important part
played by the Chapel Regeneration Partnership over the last ten
years in improving the appearance of the town, providing facilities,
promoting new events and supporting business and tourism.
The Parish Council is lobbying hard for the continuation of
the Chapel Regeneration Partnership in its current form, with
funding and support from both High Peak Borough Council and Chapel
Parish Council. |

pleased
that there was a good representation from local people and
organisations at the public meeting in March to discuss the future
format of Remembrance Sunday. The majority view was that the silence
at 11am on Remembrance Sunday should be held on the Market Place to
enable all sections of the community to take part. As Rev.
Bralesford said he was reluctant to change the timing of the church
service to enable this to happen, the Chairman of the Council and
Clerk will be meeting the Vicar, Church Wardens and Parochial Church
Council at the end of May to see if a compromise can be reached.
