Help shape future National Park policy
Where is the best place to build new housing for local people in the
Peak District National Park?
Where is the best place for tourism and recreation development?
Should domestic-scale wind turbines and solar panels be encouraged in a
national park?
How much more quarrying should be permitted?
What is the best way to manage traffic in a national park?
Should industrial land be protected or released for housing?
The Peak District National Park planning service wants to know local
people's views on these issues and more, to help draw up new policies
governing the National Park for decades to come.
Residents and business owners can find out more at a series of public
exhibitions across the National Park:

Mabel Fearn
Wardlow's oldest resident Mabel
Fearn passed away on Thursday
15 February 2007 in Bakewell
Cottage Nursing Home, where she
had resided for the past few
months. As reported in the March
edition of Under the Edge in 2006,
Mabel was then celebrating her
90th birthday. She was born and
bred at Gregory Farm, Wardlow.
She married the late Teddy Fearn
and spent most of her married life
at Somerset House Farm,
Wardlow Mires. Our deepest
sympathy is extended to her two
sons Stanley and David, four
grandchildren and three great
grandchildren.
Crufts Champion in
Longstone
Villager Wendy Bowering is celebrating
after her beloved Italian Spenone,
Florence, scooped the best junior gun-
dog prize at this year's Crufts.
Wendy, of Main Road, Great
Longstone, said: "Since my knee
operation I haven't been able to walk
so a friend showed Florence at Crufts
and we're over the moon that she won.
"Florence is a very lovable and soppy
dog although she can be a bit lazy
because she leans against you which
can make her difficult to show, so
she's done very well."
The prestigious show was staged at
Birmingham's NEC arena in March.
Eighteen month-old Florence
received a rosette and qualified for next
year's show. Bravo Florence!
