In 2007 Bishops Wood and its residents won the Best Kept Small Village in South Staffordshire - on its first time of entering, quite an achievement. We were delighted to report that Bishops Wood then followed up this success by winning the Best Kept Small Village in South Staffordshire Competition 2008. The support of the local community was key to this achievement as well as the organisational efforts of Jeanette Edwards, Tony Sloane and Linda England.
The only way the village can hope to achieve such success again is if everyone continues to get involved and makes the same tremendous contribution as before. If everyone can continue to take care of the village on a day to day basis then we're heading in the right direction. Read the 2010 JUDGES COMMENTS
The Committee was first formed in 2010 to review the requirement to redevelop the play park. Comprising of members of the community, the Committee has now completed the first phase to replace and add to the equipment at the site. They are now looking to what further enhancements can be made to enable all members of the local community to access the park. If you are interested in getting involved with future developments at the site please contact the Clerk to Brewood and Coven Parish Council on 01902 850809 who will in-turn put you in contact with the Chair of the Committee.
The Christmas Lights Committee are just finalising the accounts for 2010/2011 and expect to have a small amount of money to carry forward and add to the Christmas Lights grant the Parish Council will once again be making available for Christmas 2011. Some new investments were made this year to add to the stock of lights - a list of what we have and where it is stored will be filed at the Parish Council for future reference. Thank you everyone who store lights during the year and who are kind enough to put them up or allow them to be plugged in to private supplies for the festive season - your support is very much appreciated.
