NOTICES
Important information about Codnor Post Office - 1 High Street, Codnor, Ripley, DE5 9QB
Post Office Changes
Sadly, the Post Office in Holmfeld Chemists will soon be closing and moving elsewhere. Like many
other small post offices, it has proved impossible to make the business a commercial success.
The Parish Council would like to thank Umesh, the pharmacist and owner of the chemist, and his
staff, for all their efforts in the last four years. They have provided a vital service to the village.
We hope that another local business will wish to add the post office to their premises as we believe
that it is vital that post office services be maintained in the village. We will be writing to the Post
Office to reaffirm our support for maintaining a branch here.
If you wish to lend your support, you can email the Post Office at comments@postoffice.co.uk.
Please make it clear that your comments refer to the post office in Codnor, currently at 1 High
Street, DE5 9QB.

Leaders Report for July 4th 2022 meeting
Sunday 3rd July 2022 saw another very successful Codnor Fete which took place at the Recreation Ground, it was well organised and attended and thanks go to the Codnor Community Group for this years event.
Codnor Sports Charitable Trust require a new Codnor Parish Council representative as a Trustee as one of the previous representative has resigned due to them leaving the village. Our Chair Cllr Mark Howard has agreed to take up this position.
Members may be aware that the Trent/Barton 1A bus service which runs up Waingroves Road and Church Street, Waingroves, was suspended last December. It has been confirmed by the company today that has been permanently been suspended. This is a severe blow, not just to Waingroves residents but also Codnor residents especially ones who live at the top of our village. Bear in mind that the 2 housing developments included travel plans using local bus transport as part of their proposals which were approved. Cllr David Williams of Ripley Town Council, Cllr Isobel Harry and myself have been campaigning to get the 1A route reinstated and hence we are all disappointed, however today I have put a proposal to the Stagecoach bus company requesting them to look at re-directing the 148 bus to turn right out of Cross Lane onto Heanor Road and then onto Waingroves Road and through to Ripley. I will update members when I get a response.

Enjoy gardening?
Fancy growing your own fruit and vegetables? Well, here’s your chance. Jessop Street Allotments Association are accepting applications from local residents who are interested in renting an allotment plot. As well as tending their plots, Jessop Street allotments members also take an active interest in supporting the local community. We have teamed up with Codnor Primary School and have allocated them a piece of land so that a class of young children can learn the basics of gardening and get to understand how ecology and nature work together to influence the environment. A group of our volunteers have also recently tidied and re-planted the planters on Codnor market place to make our village look a little brighter. If you are interested in joining our friendly group, contact Eddie Pearce on 07796 636565 or email eddie-pearce@hotmail.com for an application form. |

‘The waste collection teams are doing a fantastic job under extreme pressures, the crews have been faced with some streets being impossible to get the vehicles down due to the number of cars parked as more and more people are staying at home. Whilst the authority is going to send out the attached flyer can all residents try to help wherever possible when parking their cars and vehicles on their streets’

The defibrillators at the clock tower and the community and sports building are now registered with the ambulance service and are fully operational. The defibrillator is stored in a locked vandal-proof enclosure inside the kiosk, and when a member of the public calls 999 to report a suspected cardiac arrest the operator will give them the combination to open the enclosure and access the defibrillator. It is simple and safe to use and no training is required as the machine gives clear spoken instructions. |
