The Town Council was very sorry to hear of Bluebell Events' decision to step down from running Evesham Charter Market after four years.

On behalf of the Council, we would like to sincerely thank Bluebell Events for their work in operating the market over the past four years. They took on the market with genuine enthusiasm and worked hard to support traders, attract visitors and maintain this valued community asset during a challenging period for traditional markets across the country.

We wish Bluebell Events every success with their other markets and events and thank them for everything they have done in Evesham.

The Council issues the market lease and remains committed to providing a weekly market in the town. We will now begin exploring options for finding a new operator to take the market forward and will provide updates as soon as we are able

Wychavon residents are being invited to complete a survey about air pollution ahead of Clean Air Day on the 18th June. The survey (link below) is being carried out by Worcestershire Regulatory Services (WRS), which monitors air quality on behalf of Wychavon, in partnership with Worcestershire County Council.

Air pollution is caused by the emission of pollutants, primarily gases and fine particles, into the atmosphere that are harmful to humans and the environment. Pollutants are influenced by complex chemical reactions, anthropogenic and natural processes and meteorology.

Evesham has a new Mayor... Cllr Bill Kimberley was sworn in at the May meeting of Evesham Town Council held at a packed The Parish Church of All Saints Evesham surrounded by neighbouring mayors, friends, family and business and community leaders.

Bill's Mayoress will be his wife, fellow Town Councillor, Cllr Mrs Celia Kimberley and the new deputy mayor is Cllr Peter Scurfield.

Bill Kimberley was born at Evesham Hospital, raised in Hampton, and educated at Broadway Catholic School and Prince Henry’s Grammar School.

Public service and community spirit are very much part of the Kimberley family tradition. Bill’s late father, Bill Kimberley Senior, was also Mayor of Evesham, as was Celia’s father, Cecil Blackwell, and her uncle, Jock Loudoun.

Many residents will know Bill through the family business, through markets and fairs across the Midlands, and of course through the famous Evesham Mop Fair, which he organised for many years as a proud member of The Showman's Guild of Great Britain.

The mayor's chosen charities this year are Working World, Campden Home Nursing and The Vale of Evesham Community First Responders. A varied calendar of events has already been released, including a skittles night, quiz nights and a formal Mayors Ball.

Outgoing Mayor, John Clatworthy presented his chosen charities; Evesham Volunteer Centre, Caring Hands in the Vale and Evesham Dementia Action Alliance with cheques for over £3,700 each.
