VILLAGERS throughout Wiltshire have been celebrating after learning of their community's success in the first round of this year's Best Kept Village competition.
Now they will be kept busy sprucing up verges and roadsides, litter-picking and trying to improve on areas which caught the eye of the first round judges, before the second set of judges visit their village during July.
The competition, supported yet again this year by Hill Group, saw good entries in the first, district, round, and now the winners will fight for the county titles.
"Thank you to all villages, however well you did. CPRE Wiltshire hopes that you found the competition worthwhile and that your villages are looking better as a result," said CPRE project officer
