Pebworth Parish Council Annual Report 2023-24
Good evening.
Thank you for coming this evening, it is a pleasure to see you all here tonight. We encourage parishioners to attend any open meetings that we have, and now with a larger parish, we have more people to support and meet with; more on that later.
Parish Council Members
We remain a council of 6 people, Councillors: Richard Weller (Chair), James Pearson (Vice Chair), David Cranage, Simon Shiers, Samantha Parkins and Jodi Cotton. Steering us in the right direction is our very able and diligent clerk, Donna Bowles.
I’d like to thank the whole team for their support over the last year and I look forward to working with them again during this next period. We are looking to appoint another Parish Councillor under the co-option process and if anyone is interested, please contact Donna or one of the Councillors.
John Hyde continues to provide Lengthsman and handyman support and we have another Lengthsman/handyman, Steve Baker, available to, us who Donna has recently introduced to the Parish Council.
The Parish Council continues to meet in person here at the Village Hall or at Meon Way Gardens, on the first Monday of every month, except when a bank holiday, and we welcome all members of the public to join us. The beginning of the meeting is set aside for members of the public to raise questions or provide advice in an open forum and the remainder of the meeting allows the public to see how we conduct matters on the agenda.
Last year we had 2 new District Councillors, Hannah Robson and Judith Cioti and of course Alastair Adams continues as the County Councillor. We would like to thank them for their support to the Pebworth Parish and we look forward to working with them again this year.
Review of Priorities & Achievements
You may remember last year our priorities were:
Safety & Security.
Support to Meon Way Gardens.
Emergency Support Initiatives
Last year I spoke of some anti-social behaviour in the village and I’m pleased to say that, for various reasons, that problem has significantly reduced. As we are a tight knit community, we shall continue to do what we can to maintain a peaceful and respectful atmosphere in the village. We have a strong relationship with PC Alex Prentice and she can be seen in the village frequently.
Since our last Annual Parish Meeting, we have supported Meon Way Gardens (MWG) and will continue to do so. We held our last PC Meeting at the Village Hall at Meon Vale and we have met with residents at various events and site walkabouts. MWG is now around 60% occupied with some230 built properties out of the 380 planned.
The progress of Emergency Support Initiatives has been slow due to liability and insurance matters. I was in contact with a First Responder from Lower Quinton and they ran First Aid courses, which some parishioners have attended. We did ask if they could run courses in our village, but unfortunately they are unable to do so, although we are welcome to join theirs.
In terms of achievements over the last year, the Parish Council continued to provide its support to the community across a range of issues large and small, here are some since our last Annual Parish Meeting:
New Play Equipment. Following the successful grant application, we consulted with the village to choose play equipment that would replace the timber play equipment that was deteriorating beyond economical repair. We applied both the legacy funds as well as Parish Council funds to make the development happen. We considered keeping the colour scheme “rural” as well as meeting the physical and mental needs of a wide range of children and on 14 Jul 2023 we held an opening ceremony, with children from Pebworth School and Wychavon dignitaries attending. Although the weather was inclement, our spirits were not dampened! We are proud of the new play area and feedback from users has been very positive.
Planning Matters. Due to some technicalities surrounding the regions 5 year land supply responsibilities and the Wychavon Development Plan Review, we have seen more developers submitting planning applications in the last year, and following those up with appeals if the initial applications were unsuccessful. A number of these applications are clearly being brought forward largely on the back of the 5-year land supply issue, and were it not for that, then they would clearly contravene other established planning principles such as the development boundary, and would very probably have already been rejected. This continues to be a significant challenge both for us, and other villages throughout Wychavon. Our NDP, which was widely consulted upon prior to its adoption, clearly identified the preferred sites for development in the parish and the Parish Council will continue to use that as one of the key benchmarks for assessing new applications or appeals.
Our NDP has served us very well since adoption, however, to ensure it is still current and therefore to ensure it continues to carry appropriate planning weight, it is due for review and we are taking professional advice in this regard. We, as your Parish Council, spend a significant amount of time and effort, addressing applications from some developers who see opportunities to bring forward inappropriate planning proposals.
Meon Way Gardens Matters. As I said earlier, the MWG development is about 60% complete now, while large areas are still an active development site, a lot of it is now occupied and it does not represent a significant proportion of the parish. As a Parish Council we are very pleased to have Jodi on board, who joined the Parish Council last year, and lives in MWG. Our main area of current involvement is in liaising with Persimmon about the provision of play equipment, a MUGA, a cycle track and a garden of reflection. We will launch a consultation exercise with the MWG residents in the next couple of months on those proposals and it is hoped that some of these facilities, subject to planning, will be delivered in 2025. As a Parish Council, as we referred to earlier, we are now periodically holding Parish Council meetings at Meon Vale Village Hall to make these more accessible to the residents of MWG. In the last year we have also arranged the supply of a parish noticeboard and dog bins for the development. We, as a Parish Council, need to adapt our practices and communication to reflect this new aspect to the parish to ensure we serve the growing number of our parishioners in MWG.
Parish Council Burial Ground. One of the duties as a Parish Council is to manage the parish burial ground to ensure that the various rules are met, the service is available to the parishioners and their families, the area is maintained safely and attractive, and the administration of records and finances are accurate. This role is undertaken by our Parish Clerk, Donna Bowles, who manages the processes diligently, but it does not come without challenges as we found out last year. We are required to ensure a correct balance between acting appropriately for health and safety, whilst maintaining respect to families who have plots and headstones in the burial ground. An assessment was carried out last year which found that some headstones were unsafe, resulting in the laying down of some of them. The challenge was making contact with the families who have plots and headstones in the burial ground, who do not have family members in the village, and for whom we do not have current contact details. However we shall continue to manage this important role with the utmost respect whilst maintaining a safe and attractive environment.
The Year Ahead
Coming into this year we intend to do the following:
- Continue to support all our parisioners;
- continue to support local events;
- communicate with parishioners across various forms of media, keeping that under regular review to ensure we are reaching as many of our parishioners as possible;
- maintain the Parish Council assets to ensure safety and aesthetics;
- provide flood alleviation initiatives, or support any other flood initiatives being brought forward such as those County Councillor Alastair Adams has been instrumental in delivering;
- support in keeping the village safe, tidy and looking great;
- review the current NDP to ensure that it reflects any changes to the parish since it was adopted;
- to respond appropriately on planning matters, using the NDP and conservation area documentation as our guide, along with developing the SWDPR to ensure that planning officers and committes are made aware of aspects of any application which are not in line with those documents.
It remains only for me to thank the Parish Council and our Clerk for the hard works that goes on in the background and I believe that we have a well-balanced council that has a diverse and appropriate range of skills and experience, to support you, the Parishioners.
Thank you to all parishioners who support us, and we look forward to maintaining the quality of our wonderful village.

Chairman Pebworth Parish Council
St Peter’s Annual Report to Pebworth Parish Council Meeting 2024
St Peter’s is currently in an Interregnum, awaiting the appointment of a new Vicar. However, the news from St. Peter’s is extremely positive and uplifting!
Interviews are scheduled for Thursday the 25th of April 2024.
During the Interregnum the whole community has pulled together to ensure that the church continues to thrive and flourish.
Our bands of Holy Dusters and Holy Flower Arrangers have been swelled by the ranks of the wonderful ladies from Pebworth WI.
As always, our grateful thanks to Pebworth In Bloom for their wonderful Band of Mowers and seasonal Working parties which ensure the beauty of our Churchyard.
Our organist Pamela Ilott ensures that our services are enriched by live organ music.
Neil Garner Tower Captain Inspires our Band of Ringers and has created a ringing website designed to teach method ringing to Ringers nationwide on an individual learning basis. Consequently, Neil received a national award. As our Tower has 10 bells, St Peter’s frequently hosts Bands of Ringers from Visiting Churches.
Our Churchwarden and Tower Captain are currently producing a Church website :- St. Peter’s Pebworth ICU.
During the Interregnum, St Peter’s operates 2 services a month, Holy Communion ( taken by Associate Priest, Father Kevin Grumball ) on the 2nd Sunday in the month, and a Family Service ( taken by Churchwarden, Elizabeth Spencer ) on the 4th Sunday in the month. In addition there are Benefice Services, when all four churches:- Dorsington, Honeybourne, Willersey and Pebworth worship together.
Fabric repairs since my last report have included the Chancel ceiling plaster £28,000, two leaded windows following a break-in, the refurbishment of the lower Ringing Chamber and the installation of RSPB donated Swift bird boxes. £4,151 has been granted in respect of VAT paid on Chancel ceiling repairs. This will be spent on the Conservation of Mediaeval stained glass in the Chancel window.
In June 2024 the Quinquennial Report is due ( the five yearly report on the fabric of the Church ). This costs £800 and determines the repairs to be prioritised during the next five years. Failure to carry out the repairs invalidates the insurance cover on the building.
Outstanding repairs from the last report include the dormer windows, estimated cost £75,000.
The Parish continues to support the Posts of two Youth and Family Support Workers, Amy Todd and Clara Byrd who work with Children and Young People in our local Schools and Churches. Amy and Clara recently took part in an Experience Easter Day with Pebworth Pupils in St Peter’s Church.
There are 28 Members on the Electoral Roll.
St. Peter’s Pebworth is working towards being a Gold Eco Church!
PEBWORTH VILLAGE HALL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Chair’s Report 2023
The past year progressed well with a good steady flow and mix of bookings – and now the hall is in use most days. Income was for the second year running over the £10,000 mark and we are now aiming for a steady £1,000 a month. Repairs and running costs inevitably go up as the Hall is in constant use but we have again balanced the books and by running our well received fund-raising community events covered our capital expenditure. We purchased stage units to create a flexible performance space and will look for suitable stage light units and we have added three more trestle tables to our stock. We anticipate that in the year ahead we will need to repaint the interior walls and we have various ongoing issues with the roof to be investigated.
We were upset by the break in earlier in the year – a determined person causing damage so a new window in the extension must be replaced and we are looking at whether we need to change the front doors. We have asked for advice on any other measures we should take but as most are aware we have no cash or computers in the building or anything of specific value or interest.
We are fortunate to have a strong Management Committee and Lucy Holdsworth has now taken over as Chair, with Jane Cromack continuing as Bookings and Secretary to the Committee and Oz Jordan as Treasurer. With the full Committee members of Yvonne Rose, Ursula Key-Davis, Elizabeth Spencer, Nicole Newton, Jodie Cotton and Deborah Robinson to co-ordinate the upkeep of the grounds, and the maintenance of the building, safe-guarding and to support and run our various events. New to this year in addition to our usual calendar the highly successful Pebworth’s Got Talent and more Bingo. We are also very grateful to non-Committee members (especially our partners or relatives) for their patient support of events and particular thanks to Jenny Treadwell who has taken on the regular running of Coffee on the Close and to Robin Bowen for continuing to organise the 100 Club which with the Easy fundraising on-line shopping scheme gives us over £1000 of income each year.
And finally, thanks to the PC for arranging delivery of the portrait of our new King which has been duly put up in statue.

April 2024
Pebworth and District Womens Institute
We recently discovered that we have the largest membership, of any WI in the Vale of Evesham, with 40 members enjoying all the opportunities which the largest women’s organisation in the UK can offer. We recently celebrated our 73rd birthday and recently read an interesting report from Long Marston WI in which was written:
“ we are celebrating our 100th birthday, having started our branch in Long Marston in the 1923. We had members from Pebworth then, who would walk to meetings pushing their babies in prams”.
We think that some of those babies, now in their 80s are still here living in Pebworth.
Our views on all sorts of topics are regularly sought by government departments, national health charities and conservation trusts – last year we were campaigning for cleaner rivers for all, including wildlife and this year we are concerned and will be debating at the annual meeting in the Albert Hall, the appalling lack of NHS dental surgeries across the country, with people unable to access any dental care whatsoever.
Nationally WI members are very concerned about the provision of social housing and the appalling state in which children especially have to live in poorly maintained homes. We continue to campaign for action on climate change, but we were unable to Keep Britain, and especially Pebworth, tidy this year as in other years as the waterlogged ditches and verges made it too dangerous. We had to be content with tidying our knicker drawers!
We have enjoyed some excellent monthly meetings with a wide variety of speakers.
Last May we welcomed other WIs and guests from Sweden, for a cookery demonstration and sampled plates of delicious rice dishes made from store room ingredients – we have invited Tik Tok star and YouTuber Anne Marie Lambert to bring more delicious recipes this coming month.
In June on a beautiful evening, we met in a member’s garden which was festooned in donated bras on washing lines with bras of every size and colour dancing in the breeze. So far to date we have shipped about 700 bras to the Kori Project charity in Sierra Leone and our speaker that night a trustee of the charity showed us how easy it was to make dresses for children from pillow cases so in August we organised a sewing day in the village hall and machines were red hot making over 100 dresses. This charity, which is concerned with the health, safety and education of girls and women, has caught the imagination of non-members; hairdressers locally are collecting for us, and relatives and friends from all over the country continue to send bras.
We didn’t quite know what to make of the speaker in July – he was a bit like Marmite, some loved the talk, others rolled their eyes in disbelief as Altair di Almeida encouraged us to try out non surgical facelifts amongst other things.
Throughout the autumn we had some fabulous meetings, learning more about precious and semi-precious stones from a gemologist who has an upmarket shop in Winchcombe, discovering the fascinating life of Katherine Parr, Henry 8ths last queen now buried in Sudeley Castle and welcomed lots of visitors who were keen to hear about Witchcraft in the Cotswolds from a real life witch on the night after Halloween.
And in December the hall was full with members and their guests who enjoyed a fascinating talk about how Christmas was celebrated in Tudor times. The buffet was something to behold despite there being no boar’s head.
This year we’ve been lucky enough to experience the talents of local craftswomen, Penny Varley from Tysoe was an inspirational speaker about her pottery and last month Claire Poore came from Honeybourne and showed us how to make a plaque from fused glass. Our members love craft sessions – we made Christmas wreaths for our front doors, Danish paper hearts to highlight climate change and the Knit and Natter group produced a beautiful wreath of poppies and laid it at the memorial on Remembrance Day in honour of those women caught up in conflict.
Recently we have been able to support the Rigby Unit at Stratford Hospital with donations and on a very exciting night we welcomed 2 volunteers from Warwickshire and Solihull Blood Bikes who not only managed to wheel a huge bike into Mary’s Room, ready for lots of photo opportunities but who left us amazed at the wonderful work they do for the NHS. And last month we were hugely entertained by Max Keen in the costume of Lord Horatio Nelson. There is nothing we don’t know about his sea battles, his celebrity status and his affair with Lady Hamilton!
In between meetings, we’ve been to the theatre and had a fabulous evening of Prosecco and facts about perfume from Margie Shiers at her gorgeous shop Scents on the Green in Broadway just before Christmas. And as well as all this we are supporting Meon Vale Foodbank with regular collections, providing teas for Open Gardens in May and at Party in the Park in September, visiting other WIs, playing skittles, reading books and are looking forward to another year of fun and friendship with Pebworth and District WI.
PEBWORTH IN BLOOM ANNUAL PRESENTATION TO
THE PARISH COUNCIL
Weather wise it’s been a particularly challenging year for PIB (along with the rest of the country) and at times we have struggled to run our village working parties mornings. All this rain has resulted in so much plant growth on all our project sites so at the moment we’re playing catch up with our maintenance and planting work. However the village continues to look very attractive, cared for and loved. Our Spring displays were amazing this year and all the beautiful blooms have attracted much comment and many thanks from the community.
Our annual community events, competitions and fundraisers including the Potato Challenge, Remembrance Day, our children’s Halloween event, the Wassail, the Christmas Tree Lighting, best frontage display and Sunflower competitions etc are now firmly fixed in the Pebworth calendar and are attracting even more community participation year on year.
We have continued to work closely with Pebworth school, providing compost, seeds, potatoes, advocating for the Forest School and involving them in many of our initiatives as possible. In the autumn PIB members were treated to a lovely lunch by the school children who prepared and cooked the meal using the vegetables they had grown themselves.
Last year’s Open Gardens weekend was our best ever, the community totally pulled together and all the volunteers worked really hard. We had a record number of visitors to the village who thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful gardens, we made £5000 for the NGS Cancer Charities and £2000 from the tea and plant sales all of which is reinvested back into the community. We’re very much looking forward to this year’s Open Gardens event next month where we’re hoping for a repeat success.
Our wildlife and conservation work goes from strength to strength. We have purchased and installed more hedgehog, bird and bat boxes and managed to position eight lovely Swift nesting boxes on the church and old chapel. The annual wildlife/conservation talk held in February entitled ‘How to be a bad bird watcher’ was a great success and we raised £120 which was donated to the Vale Wildlife Rescue Centre and £60 for the RSPB. We have installed additional water butts at the allotments and are looking to purchase a water harvesting tank for the village hall. We promoted the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch and for the second year have run and analysed the same birdwatch covering our parish.
A detailed audit of all our wildlife projects has been undertaken and we have produced a map showing the positioning of all the village wildlife’s areas with bird boxes, hedgehog homes, insect and bug habitats, reptile and amphibian homes, dead hedges etc clearly marked. As a result of this work we have purchased a wildlife camera which will be positioned on a revolving basis around our various sites to help us record and evaluate the impact our initiatives are having.
Following a request from Parish Councillor Jodi Cotton we visited Meon Way Gardens in November where we met with local residents and planted up a number of display troughs with Pansies and spring bulbs. We are actively trying to encourage Meon Way residents to join in with our events and get involved if possible.
We continue to seek sites for additional trees within the parish. Unfortunately we lost one of our five reintroduced Elm Trees last summer (the one outside the village hall) and working with Pershore college on this national initiative we continue to closely monitor the four remaining Elms although the signs are not encouraging.
At the request of the PC we have become actively involved with the new County Council program promoting mini forests and community orchards. PIB members met with the county Senior Greenspace Officer last week and as a result we’re hoping to plant more trees in the village community orchard this autumn. The fruit trees and tree guards are provided free of charge through the Coronation Living Heritage Fund.
There is so much more I could share with you but time doesn’t permit so it only remains for me to thank the dedicated and hard working PIB committee members, all the marvellous sponsors and volunteers who turn up come rain or shine (mostly rain!) and Nick Holdsworth at Little Meadows Farm without whom we couldn’t continue to operate.
And… before I forget to mention it we did achieve another Gold Award following the Heart of England in Bloom judging process last year. This year’s judging presentation takes place on the 9th July and we would love to see as many PC members at the village hall as possible.

2023 PARISH GAMES – Jodi Cotton
I ran the 2023 Parish Games as Parish Coordinator alongside Ken for the first time last year.
We entered 9 events out of the possible 15 and came 16th out of 28 parishes entered, which for a fairly small parish with an age demographic not as wide as many other parishes is really impressive.
We’ve said all along we were not bothered about going to win, it’s about bringing everyone together and having some fun. Many people have learnt new skills along the way, and new village groups have formed, such as The Crib group who play on a Thursday Evening in the Pub.
Looking ahead to the 2024 games, we’ve had a head start by organising a village event in the hall, where parishioners could come to find out information about the games and sign up for the events.
So far, I have people signed up to compete in 11 events which is 2 more than last year & we’ll be entering 2 teams for Bell Boating as its so popular.
Rounders needs a further 6 players to have enough to enter a team, I’m yet to form a men’s 5 a side football team, I’ve got nobody signed up for the junior table tennis competition and at the moment only my brother is signed up to play Bowls.
Rob & Vicki are supporting us at The Masons Arms and the Skittle Alley, Dart Board & Pool Table are going to be available to be used for practices for the ‘Pub Games’ & some of the competitions will take place here on home turf, spectators and supporters encouraged to come along!
Jackie is going to start Wednesday evening rounders as the nights start to draw out and we’ll have the pétanque kit there for those guys to have a practice too.
Team captains for Crib and Table Tennis will be setting up practice sessions as well.
We have until 15th June to submit our team sheets, so if anyone wishes to get involved that isn’t yet, please come and speak to me. The Parish Games committee are also looking for new members, as by their own admission, they’re getting no younger, I’m happy to pass details on to anyone who wants to find out more.
I’d like to thank the Parish Council for their support in paying the entry fee allowing us to participate in the games!
Countryside Access – Pebworth Footpath Volunteers (PFV)
Annual Report April 2023
Background
Now in our 7th year of activity, the CAPV is alive and well but now re-branded as PFV – Pebworth Footpath Volunteers to clarify its purpose.
The volunteer group comprises of around 12 village volunteers and we can always rely on a turnout of at least 4 to 6 for any particular project which can include building and installing ditch crossings, pathway clearance and installation of hedge gap gates to enable access for as many of our village residents as possible.
Progress Over the Last Year
This year has been difficult for the group with limited support available from WCC but resolved in Nov 2023 with appointment of Heather Bainbridge as our new area officer. This hasn’t impacted on inspections and path clearance but has meant delays on material deliveries for some construction works:
We have completed most of the non-contentious works on access points to/through the footpath network and are now struggling for permissions on remaining locations. (Broad Marston Priory from barns to railway crossing, Path 569(C)), Green Lane horse jump at Broad Marston, New Gate installation at back of Browns Wood towards Long Marston, Path 534(C) and hopefully these will be completed this year
We have reported numerous damaged/missing finger posts (not in our remit to replace) and these will eventually be replaced by Wychavon staff.
Our team continues at slightly lower numbers than previously so new volunteers continue to be sought will always be welcome.
However, we have had some notable successes during the year:
We have completed the final scheduled gate installation towards the Green Lane end of path 512(C) across Little Meadows farm.
We have commenced re furbishing the paved path from Friday St to village playing field, path 538(B). This is an old paved stone path so work is still ongoing as materials allow.
We facilitated the installation of new a new major ditch crossing and additional hedge gap pedestrian gate over towards Long Marston on path 528(C) and this route is now under consideration for the next village walk being planned for the late spring/early summer.
A couple of photos from the archive show some of the improvements from the last year.
New Ditch Crossing on the Long Marston Path – Path 534(C)
New Hedge Crossing Gate towards Long Marston, Path 534(C)
New gate installation over Little Meadows – Path 512(C)
Re-vitalised old stone path off Friday St – Path 538(B)
Future Works for this year
We intend to organise more frequent inspection walks to identify problems for future improvement. The intention is to invite others from the village along for this less onerous activity to enable more to get involved with PFV (if you want to join us please sign up to PFV – contact Graham Fowles at graham.fowles@btinternet.com).
For this year works will include:
- Re opening a closed path from the Priory Barns (behind the fishing lake) across to the railway Path 569(C) – carried forward from last year.
- Installation of a gate adjacent to the Horse Jump on the Green Lane at Broad Marston Path 547(C) This will make access to the woods much easier from the Broad Marston side. – carried forward from last year.
- Installation of missing gate on Path 534(C) on route to Long Marston from Browns Wood.
- Commence more structured inspections of the whole paths network again to facilitate future timely maintenance.
- Another village walk is also currently being planned.
- Our desire is to replace as many stiles with gates as is possible.
- Future projects will also include regular clearance of paths/stiles, with safety related repairs always a priority but if any concerns are noted by residents please get in touch and we will try to ensure issues are addressed promptly. (fowles@btinternet.com).
We are regular contributors to The Piper so our activities can be followed there and are always looking for new members so if interested please get in touch.
In summary I’d just like to thank the members of the PFV for the hard work completed and also the landowners involved for allowing continued access.
Obviously, thanks also to PIB and the Parish Council for their enthusiastic support & to Alastair (one of our volunteers) for his ongoing support in gaining increased funding and support from WCC for this essential activity.
Enjoy using the wonderful path network around Pebworth
