Footpath Improvement Audit

Posted onLeave a comment

We live in a lovely county and many of you enjoy the footpaths around the village. The Parish Council would like to collect information about how well the footpaths in the main part of the village are used.

The information collected will help us to keep the footpaths maintained for your pleasure. We need your help to collect this information and your comments on any problem areas that may need some attention. 

Please could you look at the map below and mark on the map what routes you use.

We hope to get all the information together by May 24th, 2025, and then apply for grants to improve any paths/stiles that need attention. You can fill in the form anonymously or add your name and contact details if you prefer. There is space at the back of the form to add comments. Thank you for your support.

Please return by 24th May 2025 to email address

Paper versions can be left in the phone box in the village or delivered to Greenacre, Meredith Lane, Tibberton.

We look forward to hearing from you.

No Show in 2025

Tibberton District Horticultural Society
For many years the committee of the Society have run the Tibberton Show for the community to the standards of the Royal  Horticultural Society.

Attracting over a thousand people each year, the Show has always been a wonderful village event, with the colourful marquee filled with flowers, fruit and veg, cookery, arts and handicrafts for all ages, together with the field attractions. However, over the years the committee has reduced in number, with a great deal of work being done by a smaller group of people.

Very reluctantly, the Committee feels it is no longer able to put on the Show this year. Despite there being no Show in 2025, the Society will continue.

We are grateful to all the volunteers and supporters of the Tibberton Show over the years.

If you would like to join the Society, or be part of a working group for future shows then please get in touch. A variety of skills are required, eg. Computing, management of field attractions, preparation of the
marquee.

It will be great to hear from you at tibbertonshow@gmail.com.
