Best Village of the Year

Every Year the Rural Community Council of Essex holds a competition to determine the best Village of the Year.  The award is based on the activities and work of the community as a whole, not just the Parish Council:

This is the only competition of its kind in Essex that focuses on the whole community rather than on the work of the Parish Council or one particular organisation or amenity.  We will be looking to reward villages of all sizes that are doing most to enhance the quality of life for their inhabitants.
