Best Kept Village Competition 2024

Earlier this year the Parish Council entered Chenies in this competition as has been done for very many years.

Yet again we were awarded a Certificate of Merit, for achieving 80%.  We actually scored 165 points out of 200 – the winners in our category were Weedon with 179.

Very many thanks to the villagers who turned out to help tidy up on the 1st June at the start of the judging period, and a special thank you to those at the Red Lion, the Bedford Arms, the Baptist Chapel and St Michael’s Church, and the Cricket Club who all contributed towards our good score.

Unfortunately the new grass-cutting contractors were a bit slow in getting going so first impressions could have been a lot better (the judges were spotted in early June, near the beginning of the judging period).
