BE CAREFUL AROUND THE TOP OF LATHKILL DALE
There’s currently a flood affecting the Severn Trent facility and the public toilets at the top of the dale. The toilets are not the cause. Severn Trent have been informed and will respond within 3 days because of the urgency.
However, there’s an added issue. The toilets are currently closed and we know that some people go behind the toilet block. This means there may be faeces in the flood water – so please be extra vigilant and take care if you are in that area. At the time of writing, the water has not gone onto the road.

100 Club subs now due
It’s that time of year again. The Playing Fields 100 Club subs are now due.
Still only £10 a shot – great value as inflation hasn’t affected the Playing Fields in 30 years!
David will be round to collect in the next few weeks. Alternatively, you can pay at The Old Smithy by cash or card, the latter going straight to the Playing Fields bank account. You can also pay by bank transfer.
Lastly, if you no longer want your number, please let David know. There are people wanting numbers.
Thanks in anticipation.

🗞️Monyash News📰
The January edition of our monthly printed village newsletter is now out. You can view or download it here.
All the back issues are available on the dedicated Monyash Newsletter page here.

e-bike theft
The Bakewell Safer Neighbourhhod Team reported to the Parish Council’s November meeting. While there have been no reported crimes around Monyash, an e-bike was stolen from Hathersage. There’s been an increase in high-value bike thefts recently so residents are advised to be mindful about the security of such items.
We’d include e-scooters in that advice. The full report can be read or downloaded here.

Barn Close Farm Shop is open seven days/week just outside the village. Check out their new web page here or send them a message from here.
