A Best Kept Village double win!
Published 24 October 2024
Myself (Colin Davies) and Allan Howard attended the presentation event last night. We are delighted to let you know that not only was Kings Bromley Village awarded the “Best Kept Small Village – South Staffordshire” award, but we were also awarded the overall “Best Kept Village – Staffordshire” award.
The judges were impressed overall by the village and its community spirit, but were particularly impressed by the teamwork and commitment of the churchyard team who look after our church surrounds and graveyard. Allan and myself will meet with them next Wednesday to congratulate them for their efforts and their contribution towards the village receiving these awards.
Cheers Colin

Doors to new Staffordshire History Centre to open next month
Published 14 October 2024
People interested in exploring over a thousand years of Staffordshire’s history can do so when a new heritage centre for the county opens to the public on Wednesday 6 November.
The new £8.7 million Staffordshire History Centre project has been delivered by Staffordshire County Council and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund with a grant of £4,858,699.
Combining three important collections from the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service, the County Museum, and the William Salt Library, the new History Centre will offer visitors the chance to access and research fascinating archives and artefacts that tell the story of Staffordshire’s past.
Located on Eastgate Street in Stafford, the centre includes modern search rooms, strong rooms capable of holding a further 55 years of archives and collections and a bright exhibition space for displays and exhibitions. The centre will be open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
The adjacent restored William Salt Library building, part of the new centre, showcases William Salt’s unique collection and the history of the library itself, which has been cherished by local residents for decades.
An exciting programme of activities and touring exhibitions will also take history into local communities right across the county.
Victoria Wilson, Cabinet Member for Communities and Culture at Staffordshire County Council said: “We’re all incredibly excited about the project and delighted to be able to announce the opening date as 6 November.
“We’re extremely grateful for the funding from the Heritage Fund and we can’t wait to welcome residents and visitors alike to research and learn more about the rich history and culture that has shaped our great county.”

The new centre is not just a place for historical collections. It features a remodelled research room, perfect for local historians, genealogists, and academics to delve deep into Staffordshire’s past.
The new education and learning space will host a range of school programmes, workshops, and events designed for all ages. During November and December there will be a range of activities for visitors to join in with including walking tours, spotlight talks and family friendly festive crafts.

Have your say on Policing and Fire & Rescue in Staffordshire
Published 12 October 2024
As you are a key partner, I would personally like to invite you to take part in a consultation to provide feedback on the key priorities in my proposed Police & Crime Plan, and Fire & Rescue Plan 2024-2028.
As elected Commissioner, I am responsible for securing effective, efficient Police and Fire & Rescue services. These plans set the local direction and priorities for the next four years to deliver that while detailing how I intend to work with the services and partners to support victims, prevent crime and reduce harm.
The proposed plans inform the operational plans developed by our Chief Constable and Chief Fire Officer, which take account of national factors and the risks we face in Staffordshire. I will continue to invest in the technology, training and people to help the Police and Fire & Rescue meet both these wider challenges and your local expectations of the services.
Your views matter. I want these refreshed plans to reflect what is important for our communities in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, and I encourage you to take a few minutes to share your feedback with me.
The consultation is available to complete online until 21 October.
Please visit Have Your Say – Staffordshire Commissioner (staffordshire-pfcc.gov.uk) to share your views, and see the full draft Police & Crime Plan, and Fire & Rescue Plan 2024-2028.
All responses will be collated anonymously and used to inform the plans’ priorities.
