Thank you to all the residents who have sent in photos of the village for
the VDS. We've had a great early response but we still need more. Because of
this, I will be running a competition for residents of the village. Whoever
sends me the most photos by 28th August of aspects of the parish that are
important to them will win a grand prize.
The person under 18 who sends me the most photos of the parish will win £5
and a box of chocolates. Second place will be a box of chocolates.
For the participants that I can legally ply with alcohol, the winner will
receive two bottles of cava. Second place will receive one bottle.
Please send all entries to
dan_stratford@hotmail.com and
reference the VDS in the email subject field. Previous submissions of photos
will be counted towards the competition. Thank you in advance for your
participation!

The Residents’ Views working group are setting out with a questionnaire
about what you think is important in the village and what changes you would like
to see. We would welcome anyone who was keen to answer contacting us. The
questionnaire should take 15 to 20 minutes only and we will travel for
feedback!
