PLANNING MATTERS Appeal Appeal against refusal to grant planning application NED/18/00683/FL – for conversion of existing stables to single dwelling at Stable Mallett, Main Road, Holmesfield. OBJECTION The Parish Council strongly object to the appeal. When the original application was submitted for the construction of a large stable block the Parish Council strongly objected to the domestic character of the proposed building as we were concerned that it would be the applicant’s intention to submit a future application for conversion into a domestic dwelling in the Green Belt; unfortunately, these concerns were not taken into account in the original determination. When this current application was submitted to the Parish Council our initial concerns of domestic conversion were verified. This scheme now proposed substantially adds more domestic elements of windows and doors and is considered to be out of place urbanisation in this rural and agricultural area within the Green belt. The stable is located centrally on a large parcel of agricultural land on the perimeter of the Parish boundary, there are major concerns that the allowance of a residential property on this site affects the boundary of Holmesfield as a village by joining the village up with the neighbouring town of Dronfield. This is a special site in maintaining Holmesfield as a village with its own identity, rather than it becoming part of the urban sprawl of the neighbouring town and we ask that this is taken into account whilst the appeal is being determined.
POLICE REPORT The Police Mobile Enquiry Van visited Holmesfield on the 1 December, there was very little notice given of the visit, so it had not been possible to put in the newsletter. A police officer and Lee Rowley attended the last Speed Watch, and CREST have been doing some speed monitoring in the village. The website reports 10 crimes for October. There was a theft on Vicarage Close, 1 drugs incident and 3 issues of violence on Park Avenue. On Cordwell Lane there were 2 incidences of violence and 2 of anti-social behaviour and an incidence of violence on New Road. 11

PERSONAL SAFETY
Police officers are urging people to be safe this Christmas when partying or on a night out. The advice comes as the festive party season gets underway, and our towns and the city get busier with people celebrating Christmas with colleagues, friends and family. There will be an increased police presence in our towns and in the city during the Christmas period, and our officers have been working with partnership organisations, pubs and clubs to keep people safe by encouraging responsible alcohol sales. Pubwatch venues across the county are taking part in the Ask for Angela initiative, to encourage anyone feeling unsafe or uncomfortable on a night out to approach bar staff for help. The campaign allows anyone to go to the bar and simply ask to speak to ‘Angela’ to show they are in an uncomfortable situation or need help. Staff will then call a taxi or discreetly offer help and venues partaking in the scheme will display posters sharing the message. We are also encouraging people across Derbyshire to download the free personal safety app, HollieGuard, to their smart phones to help them feel safe in vulnerable situations. The HollieGuard app can track a person’s location, and if they feel unsafe they can shake their phone to warn their contacts that they might be in danger. It will then record both audio and visual footage of what is happening, and if the phone is shaken again, a flashing light and high pitched alarm will sound. For more information on the HollieGuard app and how to download it, please visit www.hollieguard.com.

HOLMESFIELD GARDENING ASSOCIATION Our speaker for the December meeting was Andrew Firth, a well known resident of Dronfield. He gave a beautiful and interesting illustrated talk on Christmas in the Yorkshire Dales where there are many customs and traditions. Natural Christmas trees in squares and shop doorways all lit with lights, brass bands playing, school children singing carols and all very colourful. It was a good talk to get you into the mood to celebrate Christmas. Our next meeting will be held in Holmesfield Village Hall on Wednesday 2nd January at 7.30pm. We will be having a quiz so please bring your pens. The quiz master is our secretary Gill Middleton and guests are welcome to join us. On Wednesday 6th February it is the Annual General Meeting of the Association which will be held in Holmesfield Village Hall at 7.30pm with a buffet supper provided by our members. Hyacinth Bulb Competition - please bring your plants in any state of growth. The members of Holmesfield Gardening Association would like to wish all readers of the Holmesfield Parish Council Newsletter a very Happy New Year.
FLU VACCINES Flu is a common infectious illness spread by coughs and sneezes. It can be very unpleasant, but you’ll usually begin to feel better within about a week. However for young children, people aged over 65, people with long-term health conditions and pregnant women flu can be far more serious. It can lead to serious health complications including bronchitis, pneumonia and ear infections. That’s why all children in reception class and school years one, two, three and four will be offered a free nasal flu vaccine at school. Younger children aged two and three, older people and pregnant women can receive their free vaccination at their GP’s surgery. Keep you and your family healthy and well this winter by making sure they get their flu vaccination. To find out more visit NHS Choices: www.nhs.uk/conditions/flu

HOLMESFIELD PENNY ACRES SCHOOL A message from the Head As another busy term draws to an end, I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays and an enjoyable New Year. Events of the past few weeks remind us of just how special the two schools in the federation are. I for one am proud to be part of the Penny Acres and Wigley ‘families’. Here’s looking forward to next term where I’m sure we will be as busy. Merry Christmas - David Ratcliffe School attendance Attendance is monitored each day and we set ourselves the target of 96% or above. Below are both schools’ attendance for the year so far. Penny Acres attendance: 96.88 % Wigley attendance: 96.42 % Term Activity Years 4, 5 and 6 attended a Futsal event at Queens Park Sports Centre. Futsal is considered to be a version of 5-a-side football but is played with a harder, low-bounce ball. Not only was there a lot of good ‘Futsal’ skills demonstrated on the day, but there was sportsmanship, honesty, team spirit and encouragement shown from all players in our two teams. Out of the 12 teams that played, Penny Acres A came 7th and Penny Acres B came 10th. Well done to all involved. As part of their ongoing topic, our KS2 children have been busy painting ‘endangered animals’ onto rocks. These rocks are going to be sent home with the view that they will be distributed around our local area, highlighting the plight that some of the world’s animals face. Once found, we are hoping that the rocks will then be transported elsewhere for our message to continue to spread. We hope to track the movement of the rocks via email responses from where they are found. 2019 Penny Acres Diary Dates Mon 7th Jan: Return to school Mon 14th Jan: Penny Acres chicks arrive.

A SHEPLEY FAMILY REUNION
This summer, Dick Shepley of Woodthorpe Hall undertook a weekend trip to Canada to meet his Aunt Bidy, a lady he had never met but who was about to celebrate her 100th birthday on July 14th. This lady had been married to Dick’s uncle - Douglas Shepley - a Spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain for just six weeks before he was killed in action as a result of enemy action. It was Bidy and his Grandmother, Mrs Lily Emily Shepley - who started to collect funds to replace the lost Spitfire aircraft. The new aeroplane was called The Shepley Spitfire, which is remembered in the naming of the pub on Mickley Lane, Totley, which was opened in 1980. Bidy worked in London for the Air Ministry during the War. Towards the end of the War her family took in a seriously wounded Canadian soldier, Mac Craig, to aid his recovery. Bidy and Mac fell in love and were married, and then the pair emigrated to Canada where they had three children. Mac became a very successful lawyer, but died 20 years ago 28
The Shepley family kept in touch but about 10 years ago contact was lost, and the assumption was that Bidy had sadly died. Dick received an astonishing phone message from a relative of Bidy’s that she was celebrating her 100th birthday on July 14th, which also happens to be Douglas’ birthday as well, so he would have been 100 too. After some hesitation, a friend said Dick needed to attend her party although the original request was merely for some memorabilia of Douglas and a phone call to Bidy on her birthday. So he went to the party to meet Bidy and her huge family. Fortunately there was just one remaining seat on the flight from Manchester to Toronto. It was clearly meant to be. Bidy and her family treated Dick like royalty and he certainly had the full red-carpet reception. He also took along a book containing all kinds of history, memorabilia and information which Dick would present to Bidy. The book included family photographs, wedding photographs, Douglas Shepley’s Commissions from King George VI, and condolences from Buckingham Palace upon his death. “He has come all the way from England, and that is a long way to travel to see an old girl turn 100,” said Bidy on Saturday afternoon in the library at Kelso Villa. “I am really so very pleased to see him.” She was a bit overwhelmed with all the people who were turning out for her birthday on Saturday, but was enjoying seeing everyone as they came in to give her birthday wishes. “It is a little bit scary, but I shouldn’t be scared” said Bidy, and then turned to Dick and told him that he was the one who should be scared! “They are all strangers to you,” she said. His reply was that they were strangers, but they were strangers with a difference because they have such a wonderful connection. Dick spent many hours with Bidy, who was in very good health and they reminisced about what had been happening in her life, and what the Shepleys had been up to for the last 73 years. The reason they lost contact ten years ago was simply that she had moved into residential accommodation. Dick Shepley’s weekend in Canada was a wonderful reunion of their two families and Dick has every intention of returning to see Bidy again, and of course any of her family will be more than welcome at any time to visit Dick and his wife Susan.

THEFTS BY CRIMINALS POSING AS POLICE OFFICERS Criminal gangs are posing as police officers and conning vulnerable people in Derbyshire out of thousands of pounds. In early December at least three victims have been targeted in north east Derbyshire – with one handing over £16,000. Two of the victims have been contacted over the phone by criminals posing as officers from the Metropolitan Police, with another being approached at her door by a woman posing as an officer. The con artists state that they have been a victim of fraud and that they need the victims help to find those responsible. One victim was told to withdraw money in Euros – totalling £16,000 – which a courier then collected from her home. Another victim gave £7,000 in cash, while a third victim was conned out of £2,000. The gang warned the victims not speak to anyone as they would be in trouble for talking about police investigation. As well as the money that was handed over, some of the victims gave the criminals their bank cards and further withdrawals of thousands of pounds were made. Fortunately the victim’s cards had been cancelled before the conmen could steal any more cash. Detective Inspector Debbie King, who runs the economic crime unit at Derbyshire police, said: “This kind of crime preys on the best intentions of some of the most vulnerable people in our county. Each of our victims thought they were doing their civic duty and helping a police officer catch a fraudster – the reality is much different. The victims have been not only left out of pocket but also distraught about being conned in this way. “I would urge anyone who has been approached by these criminals to contact us on 101 immediately and not to engage with them. If you are concerned about someone at your property then call 999 straight away. “I would also ask anyone who knows a potentially vulnerable person to make sure they are aware of the motives of this gang and what they should do if they are approached.” If you have any information which may assist with our enquiries, please get in touch using one of the following non-emergency contact methods. Phone – call us on 101. 31

PEOPLE FEEL SAFE IN DERBYSHIRE Nearly nine out of ten people living in Derbyshire feel either very safe or fairly safe, new survey results reveal. The feedback, which was collected via website interviews and face-to-face at policing roadshows and community events as part of the Listening to You programme, shows the majority of people living in Derbyshire (86.4%) feel “very safe” or “fairly safe”. More than half also said they felt very safe or fairly safe walking alone in their area after dark. The Commissioner told the Board that while he was pleased to see so much positive feedback, he was keen to look at areas ripe for improvement. In particular, he said, he wanted to know how feelings of safety could be improved after dark. He added that while this has long been the case, he was asking the Chief Constable what action could be taken to improve matters. The survey also revealed the crimes local people fear most with 53.8% of interviewees admitting to feeling worried about becoming a victim of fraud or identify theft while 53.2% said they were very worried or fairly worried about having their vehicle stolen or vandalised. Fears about burglary are also high with 52.9% either very worried or fairly worried about their homes being broken into. In comparison, only 29.5% were very worried or fairly worried about being caught up in a terrorist attack. In addition to recording people’s experience of crime in the past 12 months, the survey asked whether residents believed local police were dealing with the issues that mattered to their communities. The results showed 62.2% thought police were definitely or probably dealing with the issues that mattered compared to 74.8% last year, while 51.1% thought the force was doing a good job. This is slightly lower than last year’s result of 63.2%. Commenting on the progress, Mr Dhindsa said: “On the whole people feel safe in Derbyshire and are satisfied with the service local police provide and that is reassuring given the continued underinvestment from central government which has led to widespread cuts. This year, we will continue to focus on increasing visibility in our neighbourhood policing teams and building up our depleted frontline to respond to the problems that matter to local people. Technology will continue to play its part, helping us to create a more agile workforce that ensures officers are accessible when needed. Since the period of austerity began we have lost 800 officers and staff and are communities are bearing the brunt with fewer resources available to investigate and prevent crime. Those officers who remain are working exceptionally hard to maintain Derbyshire’s place as one of the safest counties in the country but will be of no surprise that demand continues to exceed capacity. I will continue to fight for the funding we need to do the job. Policing is only as good as its people and I’m determined to ensure our hardworking officers receive the reinforcements they need to make a difference.” The survey gathered the views of residents from across Derbyshire and from different age groups and backgrounds. A total of 1,360 surveys were completed face to face while 1,843 were completed on the PCC’s website. 33

NOVEMBER 2018 WEATHER I suspect that most of you reading this brief report would rather not be reminded of the November weather. Londoner and poet, Thomas Hood, who lived in the first part of the 19th century was not too keen on November either. His poem on November includes the following lines: No sun – no moon! No morn – no noon – No dawn – No sky – no earthly view – No distance looking blue – No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member – No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November! Well he wasn’t completely right as we did have some sunshine. We actually had 70 hours of sunshine but three quarters of it was in the first half of the month. The total hours of daylight in November is about 260 so we had about a quarter of the possible hours of sunshine. For comparison, in June this year we had 374 hours of sunshine followed by 386 hours in July and 343 in August. Those were the days! The highest temperature in November was only 13.1°C, on the 14th of the month, but the mean temperature was 7.0°C, which is about half a degree higher than average for November. The rainfall was just about the normal for the month. So November was nothing out of the ordinary in terms of the weather. As I write this report the shortest day is only 10 days away. Brian Brown

DRONFIELD HALL BARN TRUST EVENTS
Thursday 24th January, 7.30pm - 9.30pm Lecture By The Pentrich And South Wingfield Revolution Group We are delighted to confirm that a member of the Pentrich and South Wingfield Revolution Group will join us to give a lecture about the events of Pentrich rising. The Pentrich rising was an armed uprising in 1817 that began around the village of Pentrich, Derbyshire. It occurred on the night of 9th /10th June 1817. While much of the planning took place in Pentrich, two of the three ringleaders were from South Wingfield and the other was from Sutton in Ashfield. The ‘revolution’ itself started from Hunt’s Barn in South Wingfield, and the only person killed died in Wingfield Park. A gathering of some two or three hundred men (stockingers, quarrymen and iron workers), led by Jeremiah Brandreth (The Nottingham Captain), set out from South Wingfield to march to Nottingham. They were lightly armed with pikes, scythes and a few guns, which had been hidden in a quarry in Wingfield Park, and had a set of rather unfocused revolutionary demands, including the wiping out of the National Debt. One among them, however, turned out to be a government spy, William J. Oliver, and the uprising was quashed soon after it began. Three men were hanged and beheaded at Derby Gaol for their participation in the uprising: Jeremiah Brandreth, Isaac Ludlam and William Turner. At the Hall Barn Centre, High Street, Dronfield. Members £2, Non-members £4.

We are grateful to Mrs M Keys for this undated yet seasonal image of the centre of the village. The original Angel Inn is yet to be demolished and rebuilt, the Parish church of St. Swithin retains its ornamental tower cap and what would become the Coronation Garden in 1953 - and Millennium Garden in 2000 - has just 4 young saplings where large mature trees now grace us with their presence.
