The Chairman of Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Cllr Sir William Lawrence will be visiting Studley at 10am on Tuesday 1 February to help launch two new community initiatives.
The first is a proposed piece of artwork to enhance the environment and provide a welcoming gateway to the village and the second is a recipe book to help support local businesses in Studley both aided with funding from Stratford District Council initiatives.
The arts project has been funded from a Section 106 Agreement* enabling Planet Arts an arts partnership to work with local schools in Studley as well as older age groups to help create a new piece of artwork for the community. The schools have been helping the artists research the history of Studley and come up with designs for the proposed new sculpture on the Barley Mow island.
The project is still in the planning stages and all the artwork that has help influence the ideas and designs will be on display at Studley Village Hall for the first week in February (from 1 Feb to 8 Feb). Local residents young and old are encouraged to go and have a look at the different ideas and help choose their favourite. The proposed sculpture is due to be complete in early June.
Also being launched is a new Recipe Book called 'The Food for Thought, The Recipe for Shopping in Studley' funded by the Government's Local Authority Business Growth Incentives (LABGI) administered by the District Council to encourage the use of local shops in Studley. The book is made up of a variety of recipes submitted by Studley residents and more importantly explaining where the ingredients can be bought in the village.
Studley Ward Member Cllr Hazel Wright says: “Both these initiatives are all about showing our pride in Studley and pulling together as a community. Local groups made up of Studley residents have committed time and effort into putting these projects together, simply because they care about Studley."
