Cropwell Bishop Village Parish Plan

Village Plan launched: Old School opened (22-1-09)

On Thursday 22nd January 2009 the Cropwell Bishop Village Plan was launched and the Old School was officially opened. Over 150 people packed the building to hear the Mayor of Rushcliffe, Councillor Barrie Cooper speak and then cut the specially made celebration cake.
Villagers who were there drank wine, nibbled superb Blue Stilton cheese (kindly donated by our Creamery) and collected their copy of the Village Plan: those who were not will have a copy delivered to their door in the next few days - but no wine or cheese: it's all gone!
It was announced during the evening that our Parish Council has been awarded Quaility Status. Think of it as the Premier League of Parish Councils. Our Clerk of the Council, Jacki Grice, and our councillors have achieved the gold standard in all aspects of their work. We are not expecting a lucrative deal with Sky Sports, but this award may well enable our council to win more funding for community projects.
