The Deputy Lieutenant for Derbyshire, James Shuttleworth will visit the War Memorial, Market Place, Hope late in the morning on Remembrance Day, Friday 11th November to lay a wreath on behalf of the Lord-Lieutenant. A public service of Remembrance will be held in St Peter’s Church Hope on Sunday 13th November at 10.00 – 10:45am. Following the service, the congregation will gather at the War Memorial to remember and lay wreaths for those residents of Hope, Aston and Brough who gave their lives in two world wars, observing a two-minute silence at 11am. All are welcome to attend.

For several years, Tithe Barn Gardening Services have been contracted by Hope with Aston Parish Council to maintain the 5 concrete flower troughs on Castleton Road verge by the college. We can all vouch what a super job they have done, with the planting changed to suit the season and provide an attractive display throughout the year. Tithe Barn are now retiring from the role and we are looking for new amateur or professional gardeners to fill their shoes. The Parish Council pays for all the planting and the time taken to maintain the troughs throughout the year. If you would like to know more about what’s involved and the terms and conditions, please contact Cllr David Garwes at davidgarwes2018@gmail.com or ring 07759 852474.
