Keeping our village clean and tidy and presentable, from prevention of dog fouling, litter and fly-tipping, to landscaping, and maintaining planters and flowers.
Parish Councils have no planning powers but we do comment on applications to reflect the views of residents, and the strategy agreed in Neighbourhood Plan.
Endorsed in a referendum by Wing voters in 2015, the Neighbourhood Plan stands beside the AVDC strategic plan. It allows the Parish to say where future housing will be located and what it looks like, and to work with developers about the extras they can provide.

These are local laws governing how we use our open spaces. Currently under review by central Government, we will publish them on the website once approved.
Wing Speedwatch Group is open to members of the public who wish to be involved. We share two Moveable Vehicle Activated Signs (MVAS) with Wingrave and Mentmore. These display the speed limit and the message ‘Slow Down’ when vehicles exceed the limit, and log the number of vehicles passing and their speed. We also have access to a Sentinel video speed camera, which is shared between 12 parishes. It needs a team of people to supervise as it stands on a tripod and cannot be left unattended.
All gardens are automatically entered in two categories – Best Front Garden and Best Hanging Baskets –with certificates and gardening vouchers for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Judged one evening in late-June, early July.
