  • Ambergate – Flood Risk Information and Faqs
    Ambergate – Flood Risk Information and FAQs 1. Which organisation is responsible for my stretch of river? Environment Agency The Environment Agency carries out maintenance, improvement or construction work on main rivers to manage flood risk. We are also responsible for working in partnership with the Met Office to provide flood forecasts and warnings. The main river map (link below) shows which rivers are designated as ‘main rivers’. In Ambergate, the River Derwent and River Amber are main rivers. Other rivers are called ‘ordinary watercourses’. Lead Local Flood Authorities, District Councils and Internal Drainage Boards carry out flood risk management on ordinary watercourses. To see a map of the Main River network, please visit: https://environment.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=17cd53dfc524433 980cc333726a56386 Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) LLFAs are county councils and unitary authorities. They are responsible for managing and investigating the risk of flooding from surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses (smaller watercourses) and lead on community recovery. For information for your local council, please contact: Derbyshire County Council 01629 533190 www.derbyshire.gov.uk/environment/flooding/responsibilities/flood-risk- responsibilities.aspx Internal Drainage Board Each Internal Drainage Board (IDB) is a public body that manages water levels in an area, known as an internal drainage district, where there is a special need for drainage. IDBs undertake works to reduce flood risk to people and property, and manage water levels for agricultural and environmental needs within their district. However, not all areas are covered by an IDB, and your area does not fall within an internal drainage district.

  • 1 CRICH to WHATSTANDWELL It Wasn't Going to Rain, It Wasn't to Cold
    Today’s Journey by Michael and Patricia Spencer CRICH to WHATSTANDWELL It wasn't going to rain, it wasn't to cold, it was a good chance to get into the old walking boots and see some more of the county. The problem was where. Crich had been put off more than once so we decided to get it under our belt and decide when we got there which direction to go. Our mate Den, a Cockney exile offered to "dump" us wherever we wanted (next time we're doing the Seychelles) and so to Crich we went. A nice steady drive out to Tansley which a few hundred years ago meant you were in Crich already, it being part of that parish becoming separate around the mid 1840's, then up to Tansley Moor a sharp turn right and on past the old farms of Plaistow Grange and Plaistow House farms. Still looking like old farms should. We come down the hill into the centre of Crich having passed the church further up the hill. The roads in the centre of Crich must be the Spaghetti Junction of Derbyshire, all roads converging from all points of the compass, and standing for all the world like! Something like the City Hall out of Back to the Future, clock and all, is the Crich Baptist Church, it's cloudy but I don't think we will get a lightening strike. With it's double-doored archway and pillars either side it holds up the names on blocks of stone above it, names which include Mr J WILLN of Cromford and Robert WILDGOOSE of Holloway.

  • Derwent Valley Line Community Rail Partnership Annual Report 2018-2019
    Derwent Valley Line Community Rail Partnership Annual Report 2018-2019 Read About: Restoring historic stations Station adoption projects Improved access to Whatstandwell Marketing initiatives Derby Resignalling project Whistlestop Café opens at Matlock Bath Station In Bloom Award for Belper Duffield Station Garden completed Whatstandwell Access Improvements Launch of Pentrich Revolution Bicentenary Panel Whatstandwell Station Landscaping Message from the Chair This last year has seen major investment, but also significant disruption of the local railway network in and around Derby. These major projects need to take place and from what I saw and understand, the major upgrade to both Derby station and re-signalling all went to plan. The Derwent Valley Line and our passengers were arguably impacted upon more, than any other route. Yet an enhanced level of rail replacement services for the Derwent Valley, which was well organised and promoted, helped to minimise the impact. During the line closure, I am especially pleased that opportunities have been taken locally to carry out significant improvements at local stations to benefit our passengers. The fantastic restoration of the Whistlestop at Matlock Bath, canopy refurbishment at Matlock, platform enhancements at Cromford and smaller scale improvements and maintenance at Whatstandwell, have all made a real positive impact at our stations. Considerable work has gone on behind the scenes by the Community Rail Partnership working with the rail industry and other local stakeholders to ensure that these local enhancements took place, during this window of opportunity. The partnership has also obtained significant funding to help make many of these projects happen. Working with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, we have brought an additional £40,000 through the rail industry to match Heritage Lottery and others, to enable the long awaited regeneration of the station building.
