East Ward - Chapel en le Frith

23/10/2026

These challenging times have become even harder with the decision to postpone the Unitary and leave HPBC in place for a few more years.
Chapel will become a dumping ground for new housing developments if we just roll over, so we are asking for you to step up and help !!

Please consider signing this petition, we have to keep chipping away at those in power and do what we can to stop the wholesale poisoning of our waterways

We call on the UK Government to make water companies statutory consultees in all housing development planning applications. This would ensure that no development can proceed unless the relevant water company confirms that adequate water supply, wastewater, and drainage infrastructure is in place.

We gathered, we cleaned and then we left Mother Nature to it.
Approximately 50 large industrial bags of waste left by visitors to this beautiful place. Nearly 3 hours of graft by 10 of us made easier in some parts with a pulley system that enabled us to get the bags up the quarry face.
A huge thank you to Deb, Alistair, Sue and Jo x 3 and even bigger one Ruth, Lynne and Peter who clean regularly throughout the year
So we’re almost done again one more walk around the top and then into the water, has anyone got a BOAT please ?

First clean of the year saw us remove approx 80 bags from bushes, hedgerows and grassy slopes that surround this special site.
8 wonderful human beings each giving just a few hours of their time to clear up after Instagrammers more concerned with how many likes than the damage they cause.
Back again next week to continue the clean, volunteers always welcome

Looking for a good tree surgeon, one who takes Mother Nature into account when carrying out their work.
Please drop me a message if you know of any.
Thank you I’ve passed all your recommendations on 😃

Call to arms sh*tpickers, following another fungi hunt it’s clear that this area needs a little lift again.
Nic Abbott Callaghan,Sue Murdoch Sharon Simpson-George, Denise Wragg, are you ladies up for it ?

This was a very interesting watch, and worth spending time with a brew having a listen. Our MP didn’t attend but at the next election we should make this a priority action.
Listen to the figures that have been robbed from us, eye watering staggering amounts and for what.

10/09/2026

On Monday 14th September at 16.30 there is going to be a debate in the House of Commons about bringing water back into public ownership
We have until then to mail our MP and ask him / demand that he represents us at that debate.
Over 200,000 have signed the petition, I’m hoping that 10,000 of those were from Chapel

RIP Bob,

This little chap (Bob the Bowden Hog) was out in the day and fortunately I knew that was wrong. So we stuck him in the car and took him to Annemarie at Overdale Vets for some tlc.
His diagnosis this morning was fluke and capillaria and he will be need to be treated for a couple of weeks.
Pray for Bob Eastwarders and hopefully he’ll be back snuffling in our gardens once again.

If you see a Hog out in the day, please stick it in a box and seek help, time is of the essence. 🦔🦔🦔
