Celebrating Cromford 2021
Due to the difficulties throughout the past year as a result of pandemic restrictions, plus the lack of a working committee to organise any such event , there are no plans in place for a Celebrating Cromford Festival for 2021.

Cromford Fly Fishers Club lead the way in clearing the Lea Road and adjacent river bank of litter.
Following a request from the chair of Cromford Parish Council, Barbara Bowman to the head Bailiff of the Cromford Fly Fishers Club John Pass to help with a litterpick from Cromford Bridge to High Peak Junction, John arranged for 27 members of the club to attend to aid the event along with 9 Parish councillors and friends.
The fishing club picked up the cost of the rubbish removal, saving both council and rate payers the expense of disposal.
It was a satisfying day with good humour coupled with hard work. Many thanks to those that turned out to help

Dog Poo Bags from the Cromford Meadow...Disgusttng
All this in a single day. Considering that the fishing club carry out working parties throughout the whole of the year from March to November, not only concerned with litter but habitat restoration and Bio diversity issues regarding invasive species getting a foothold in the rivers course, as well as constantly monitoring the health of the river, makes you wonder why people do this and destroy the beautiful countryside they have come out to see..
