A Peak District community has tackled its affordable housing problems by selling a rundown school house on a brownfield site. Three family houses for rent at rates local people can afford are being built on the site in Parwich. Half the purchase price of the site has been given to the present-day Parwich School so it can build a new classroom.

Shown at the site, left to right, are Janice Wigley of Parwich Action Group, Derbyshire Dales councillor Alan Hodkinson and Fiona Hadfield, also of Parwich Action Group.
