It’s CPRE’s Best Kept Village Competition time once again

If you want your village to enter this competition here’s how to go about it. This link will also allow you to see the BBC’s “Inside Out” Programme on last year’s competition.

We are also looking to recruit some more judges. This is an interesting role and involves visiting several villages either in May or June and then writing a short report about them, based on the competition criteria. We run a half day training workshop every year to standardise our procedures and to support networking. Find out how to volunteer here .
