Huge Congratulations to Wrawby Person of the Year 2024 - Mike Reddish
Mike had so many nominations for all his hard work around the village, with the new planters, perennial planting and the Horticultural Show.
Congratulations to the Wrawby Person of the Year 2023 - Peter Townsend.
Peter was nominated and awarded the Wrawby Person of the Year 2024 for his volunteer work as school governor, PCC treasurer, editor of the monthly magazine, grass cutter and auditor at the Mill and an all round kind hearted person who will do whatever he can to help. Thank you Peter, you make Wrawby a better place!

Our regular dog walkers would have noticed a new bin has been installed Highfield Lane. This is for dog waste and litter. Thank you to Cllr Janice Keilthy for pursuing this and for NLC for installation
CONGRATULATIONS!
The nominations closed for the Wrawby Person of the Year in August.
It was overwhelming that we received so many nominations for a wonderful couple, Diane & Paul Coult. As Cllr Mark Hebblewhite said on presenting them with the award just before the start of Wrawby Parish Council meeting, Wrawby would be a darker place without them and their hard work.
Just a few comments received in the nominations
"They bring our community together on the festive times of the year with the Sleigh Group which takes an enormous amount of organising and they collect monies for a charity"
"They organise events at the Jolly Miller pub with Paul's Music night without any charge at all.
They have both organised other events in previous years. They are a driving force, a great team and deserve to be recognised for what they do for our village of Wrawby"
"Paul organises a remembrance gathering each year which is held outside of the church thereby including everyone in this secular event particularly veterans and those who have lost love ones."
"In particular, they should be recognised for their work putting together the Wrawby Horticultural Show each year"
"They really do personify the best of our amazing village and they work tirelessly and with good humour to support our village community. Nothing that is asked of them is too much trouble and they are just really lovely people with the interests of the village at heart"
Thanks, must also go to Chris Rothery who was nominated for his care and hard work to enhance our village with all the floral displays and to Kathleen Flewker who was nominated for her hard work in organising the social gatherings and lunches for our older residents
Latest News
Can you help our village look its best for 9th of July?
The village has been entered into the East Midland in Bloom competition. The judging will take place on the 9th July, where independent judges will be toured around the village (tour route in a future post). They will not only be looking at the village planters but also how well kept the village is. 30% of points awarded goes on our approach to the environment with another 30% for community participation.
Whilst a small group of volunteers are busy getting our planters to look their best, we are also looking for your help as residents, in ensuring garden areas are attended to and with bushes not obstructing pathways etc. together with keeping the village litter free. We would welcome further help from volunteers to join our litter picking group and our beds/planters group so that we can get the village ready and maintain to a higher standard throughout the year. With more volunteers we can create bigger plans and improve year on year.
If you would like to volunteer for any of these groups or have ideas for improving the village or just want to know more, then please get in touch by commenting on this or future social media posts or you can give me a call (Mike Reddish 07801046011)
Community Planting
Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers lead by Cllrs Mark Hebblewhite and Mike Reddish who have started the community sustainable planting. On a damp Good Friday morning the community fruit trees were planted at the Playing Fields. Once they have become established and bearing fruit they will be for the whole community to enjoy.
Huge thanks to the very generous North Lincolnshire Community Grant we are able to bring Sustainable Planting to the whole of our village. If you would like to get involved with volunteering with the in bloom project please do get in touch.
