The Wenvoe Environment Committee as it was known was formed in 1988 with the prime objectives being:
In the early days of its formation the group concentrated on frequent ‘clean ups’ such as litter picking and general ‘tidying up’ of areas throughout the village such as hedge trimming clearing overgrown paths etc., The effect on the village soon became clear. With the absence of litter the improvement became so noticeable that the need for the organised ‘clean ups’ was not as important as it was. However many residents ‘did their own thing’ by keeping the areas adjacent to their properties clean and tidy. In 1991 the Village won the Best Kept Village Competition and the Keep Wales Tidy Winner for the Tidy Wales Awards thus it was that the original objectives had been attained. It was then decided to concentrate on improvements to various parts of the Village and at the same time making the Committee less of a talking shop but, more of an action group. This meant that semi-major projects would be carried out. The mainstream membership of the group numbers about nine with
others volunteering their assistance at various times. It is led by
two retired professional horticulturists and it is fortunate that
other members have various talents.
