Christmas Lights Switch-On 2024
Due to the cost implications of repairing the collapsed Christmas Tree electrical chamber in Stanley and re-siting the electrical chamber at Stanley Common (because of the in-line crossing point that was installed last year), along with additional licences needed for using the street lighting, the Parish Council have made the decision to move the Community Christmas Trees to the White Hart in Stanley and Top Club in Stanley Common. This will save the Parish Council thousands of pounds but will still bring Christmas cheer to our villages and allow our community to gather together. The celebrations will take place:
6pm on 29th November 2024 at Top Club, Stanley Common
6pm on 6th December 2024 at White Hart, Stanley
Come along to the light switch-on followed by the usual refreshments and celebrations afterwards! The Parish Council would like to thank our hosts for offering the use of their facilities.

Tree Planting Postponed
Earlier this year, the Parish Council had hoped to secure funding for tree planting on the recreation grounds in Stanley and Stanley Common. Unfortunately this funding has not yet been forthcoming. The Parish Council have agreed to postpone tree planting to March 2025. A new date for tree planting will be communicated as soon as possible.
Snow Time to Lose!
Derbyshire County Council are encouraging local communities to help keep pathways and pavements clear of snow and ice this winter. DCC’s Snow Warden Scheme continued to be successful last year with 50 parishes joining the scheme with volunteers helping to clear snow and ice and grit footways and pavements.
As we don’t know yet what this winter will bring, we don’t want to be caught off guard. The call has also gone out to community groups and schools interested in volunteering as Snow Wardens for footway clearing.
Therefore, we want to hear from you now if you’re interested in helping to keep main pavements and other footpaths in your local area clear.
Please contact the Parish Clerk at parishclerk@stanleyandstanleycommon-pc.gov.uk to register your interest!
