I mean, the big things in my village at the moment are:
- Parking issues outside the Tesco express
- Flower and produce show - one set of parents apparently makes all the stuff for their kids for the children's classes and wins everything all the time, basically by cheating (it is said).
- Children's play area bring remodelled for the first time since about 1960.
- Dog fouling on the village green.
- Will the Post Office move?
- Is it oil seed rape we are all allergic to or something else?
- Book club demographic getting a bit old.
- Shed and distraction burglaries. Was the guy caught on CCTV? How much CCTV can you put on the outside of your house before you break the law?
Seriously, I could write this stuff.
Me too. Big things in my village are:
1 Parking issues outside school
2 development plan - too many large family houses in my village and not enough starter/affordable homes
3 new development nearby and school places
4 dog fouling everywhere
5 blocked culverts (yes really, but by the crappy job done by the inconvenient road resurfacing)
6 Large lorries using the village as a cut thru due to Sat Nav and trashing the verges
7 No children entering the Flower & Produce show (it's this afternoon - we haven't entered 
)
(when we first moved here, 8 years ago when DS1 was a teeny baby, I thought we HAD moved to Ambridge. One old dear stopped me in the street and said "ooh have you just moved into "house name?" oh yes, your neighbour told me about you. Then I discovered my other neighbours are called Neil and Susan. And the pub is called The Bull.)
