STUDLEY COMMON NATURE RESERVE
This wonderful open space is available for all villagers to enjoy. At the moment we are in the long process of making the site more attractive both for residents and for wildlife. The Friends of Studley Common Nature Reserve meet once a month on the 2nd Sunday to work on aspects which will improve the Reserve. The entrance is off St Judes Avenue by the start of the public right of way.
At the moment there is still a good range of flora and fauna to be seen and our aim is to make sure that this improves over the years.
If you would like to help in any way please e-mail Robin Jarman at [email protected]. Let us make this space a real asset to our village.

Studley Improvement Partnership (SIP) concerns
Over the last two years members of Studley Improvement Partnership have been having regular meetings with officers of both Stratford District Council and Warwickshire County Council to discuss ongoing problems and issues that are affecting Studley.
These meetings often consist of walking round the village inspecting areas of particular concern. As a result of these "walkabouts" a list of problems has been compiled by a member of SIP. This list has been a way of monitoring what has actually been done and what has still to be done by the relevant authorities.
It shows what work has been carried out and what still needs to be done. New work continues to be added to the list when necessary.
Review this list of problems and concerns.

Bulky Waste Collections
Important Notice - please read
Bulky Waste Collections
Pool Road Car Park - 1st Saturday each month - 10am - 12 Noon
For future reference the January collection will not take place due to Verdant catching up on Christmas collections.
Some householders just dumped their rubbish on the car park even though they knew the waste truck was not there. This has happened again in February. The truck could not come as Verdant were catching up on collections due to the adverse weather we have been experiencing. Again rubbish was left despite notices advising people the collection had been cancelled.
The Parish Council has been charged extra money for this 'Fly' tipping to be disposed of. If this happens again we will have to look at withdrawing the service.
