Email warning from the ONS

[Reference: C299 Email warning from the ONS] The following is from the Office for National Statistics Statement from Director of the 2011 Census, Glen Watson, Friday 27 January 2012.

‘We are aware that an email entitled 'Population Census: a message to everyone - act now' is being circulated, allegedly in the name of National Statistician, Jil Matheson. This email demands individuals provide further personal information, supposedly for the Census and threatens fines for non-compliance.

This email is a scam and a hoax. It has no connection whatsoever with the National Statistician, the 2011 Census or the Office for National Statistics. We believe the links in the email could download malware to any computer where the user clicks on the links. This could put your personal data, including financial information, at risk. Anyone receiving this, or similar emails, should delete them, not open any links and certainly not provide any information.

For more information on how to protect yourself from this type of threat, please see www.getsafeonline.org

If you wish to, please report receipt of any such suspicious emails to www.actionfraud.org.uk ONS takes the protection of personal census information extremely seriously. Collection of census data was completed last year and no further requests will be forthcoming from the Office for National Statistics relating to the 2011 Census.’

Great improvements at Riber

The photo taken on 4th December shows how many of the windows in Riber Castle have now been restored and glazed. According to other reports, the new roof is in place too.
The windows were made by Gowercroft, a local joinery in Alfreton .

Another excellent local improvement for walkers is the new handrail and cleared steps running from the top path beside the castle right the way down the steep hillside path leading towards Starkholmes.

Aqueduct reopened on the Cromford Canal

The 163-year-old aqueduct which carries the Cromford Canal over the Derby to Matlock railway line was reopened on Monday 28th November. The aqueduct is a scheduled monument and is thought to be the only surviving example of a suspension girder bridge left in the country. Repairs were needed to deal with corrosion and concerns about its long-term stability. For details, see here.
