🌳 Did You Know? 🌳

New Mills Town Council looks after a number of outdoor spaces across the town, including our much-loved Community Orchard.

The orchard provides free access to fruit, supports local wildlife, and creates a space for people of all ages to enjoy the outdoors. As autumn arrives, we're hoping everyone who picked fruit this year is now enjoying the results!

🍎 Have you visited the orchard this year?

Once again NMTC will, in association with Fr Owain Mitchell, be organising the Remembrance Service & Parade on Sunday 8th November to honour and pay tribute to service personnel and civilians who have died in the World Wars and later conflicts.

The event will commence with a church service in St George's parish Church at 10.00am followed by a ceremony at the Memorial in the Church grounds. The Parade will begin at approx. 11:15hrs and proceed along Church Road, turning right onto Union Road, then turn right at Rock Mill Lane to Torr Top memorial where there will be a short service.
The parade will then leave via Rock Street, turn left onto Market Street, then up Hague Bar Rd to the junction with St. Mary’s Road. It will then turn right into St. Mary’s Road then left into High Lea Park at the first entrance for the final service at the memorial. Following this service refreshments will be served in High Lea Hall for any participants who wish to attend.

Local residents should be aware that the roads along the parade route will be closed from around 11.15am whilst the parade is in progress in order to ensure the safety of participants. Once the parade has passed vehicles will be permitted to move and all roads will be open by 12.00pm at the very latest. These road closures have been approved by High Peak Borough Council and your co-operation with these necessary arrangements for this important event will be very much appreciated.

We extend a warm invitation to the residents of New Mills to join us for this commemoration event. 🌺

❤️ Help put every defibrillator in New Mills on the map ❤️

We're asking local schools, sports clubs, businesses and community organisations to check whether their defibrillator is registered on The Circuit, the UK's national defibrillator network.
When a defibrillator is registered, emergency services can see its location and direct 999 callers to the nearest available device in an emergency; potentially saving a life. ❤️

✅ Got a defibrillator? Check it's registered.
✅ Moved it recently? Update the details.
✅ Not registered? Register it today.

Let's work together to make sure every defibrillator in New Mills can be found when it's needed most.

📍 Find registered defibrillators: www.defibfinder.uk
📍 Register a defibrillator: www.thecircuit.uk

The Circuit - the national defibrillator network links a network of defibrillators to every ambulance service in the UK.

The flag at New Mills Town Hall is flying at half-mast as a mark of respect, during a period of mourning this week, for Edwin Knowles Taylor, who served as Chair of New Mills Town Council in 1996.
