We are really pleased to announce that Siddington has won the 'Healthy and Active Community' award at the GRCC Vibrant Village awards. The judges were impressed by the redecoration of the village hall and plans for further refurbishment, the lively allotment group, the Evergreens, the healthy living initiatives at the school, the efforts of the 'Gang of Four' to maintain the canal and towpath and the success of the parish plan. We received a certificate and will also receive a cheque for £500. Click here to see our
certificate.
This is a huge pat on the back for everyone who has worked so hard to make things happen in Siddington. We can all be very proud of what we have achieved over the past few years.
