Upton is judged to be the second best village in the Vale of White Horse District.
The result of the judges deliberation on the Oxfordshire Village of the Year Competition has just been made public and we are delighted to report that Upton has been selected in second place in the Vale of White Horse District and awarded a certificate and £200 sponsored by the Vale Strategic Partnership.
The judges were particularly impressed with the enthusiasm we have shown for our Parish Plan and for our care of our local residents.
The overall winner of the competition is Steeple Aston. The winner in the Vale of White Horse District is Stanford in the Vale.
Our thanks to all those in the village who helped with our entry, both helping to but together our entry form and supplying material for our display, and to Graham, Belinda and Ben for portraying the village in such a good way to the judges.
