    1. DISTRICT COUNCILLOR\u2019S REPORT \u2013 The bus service run by Hulley\u2019s has been declared no longer fit for purpose. DCC don\u2019t monitor cancellations or late running and don\u2019t check whether the operator has reported them.\u00a0 They company are fined but there is a view that nobody is likely to take over the route.\u00a0 Hulley\u2019s won\u2019t entertain reinstating the regular bus to Chesterfield, and DCC are not sponsoring it as part of improvement funding.\u00a0 The bus shelter opposite Eyam Woodlands is subsiding.\u00a0 Philip Braisby should be contacted cc Charlotte Cupit.\u00a0 \u00a0The District Council and the National Park Authority are to meet to talk about how they look after the landscape and communities.\u00a0\u00a0 EC spoke about keeping private hedges back from pavements, PO\u2019B said this is a matter for DCC and if action isn\u2019t taken they will undertake the work and send the home owner a bill.\u00a0 Refugees \u2013 a programme to provide accommodation for Ukraine and Afghan refugees in under way.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>
