The community won a special Environmental Improvement Design & Conservation Award from the District Council in October.
The award was for the changes to the High Street around the Maple Inn and near to the church, the de-cluttering, removal of signage, improvements to the car park, bridge and the new footpath across pond green etc.
This is a special award that the District Council makes every two years and the Parish Council is very honoured to have been selected for this recognition.
The judges said that ?the project has created improved public spaces, given space back to pedestrians and cyclists and has influenced the behaviour of motorists in ways which do not rely on increasing amounts of road signage, road paint, bollards and other inappropriate clutter.?
The approach was considered to be ?inspirational? and the judges added that they were ?immensely impressed by the outcome and felt it to be a true exemplar.?
