Another Award Winning Year for Ansley in Bloom. Britain in Bloom 2025 has been phenomenal for Ansley in Bloom. We achieved Gold Award & Best in Category Winners (Large Village Heart of England Region). And a special Health & Well Being Award granted to Oldbury Care Farm for our partnership this year. On behalf of Ansley in Bloom Founder, Janet Down MBE, a massive thank you to all the volunteers who have worked tirelessly across our parish this past twelve months. If you would like to get involved in the 2026 campaign, please email janetdownmbe@gmail.com for further details.
Party in the Park Postponed until 2027. We would like to let residents know that we will not be going ahead with the Party/Picnic in the Park event this year. Unfortunately, we do not have enough volunteers available to organise it and the timing clashes with several other local and national events. We are hoping to organise a Picnic in the Park event in 2027. To make this possible, we will need support from local residents — to help plan the event, to assist on the day and with fundraising. We are very sorry for any disappointment this may cause, but given the circumstances, postponing is the only realistic option for this year. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to working with the community to bring the event back in 2027!
Speed Calming measures meeting well attended by local residents who shared their concerns on speeding in the Parish. The meeting called by Ansley Parish Council for Speed Calming Measures for Ansley Village, Ansley Common & Birchley Heath was well attended despite the weather on Friday 14th November.MP Jodie Gosling, Borough Councillor Michaela Jackson & Borough Councillor Katie Hobley and all Parish Councillors attended along with residents who were allowed to air their comments/feelings on measures they felt they wanted Warwickshire County Council to act upon. The meeting ended with conclusions that we would ask people to sign up to be part of a Working Party, who would work out an Action Plan on the way forward - or for residents to Volunteer for a Speed Watch - also residents could sign the Road Safety Petition and Ansley Parish Council would also carry out a survey of all residents for their views on traffic calming. More updates will follow - with thanks to residents for your continued support on this matter.
