Hello and Welcome to the Herdwick Gate & Herdwick Fold, Shipston-on-Stour Residents' Association website - or HGHF-RA for short. We hope you like it.
The News tab in the top menu is where you will find the latest news concerning the Herdwick developments. Plus we may bring you the occasional news story from Shipston and surrounding areas, where we think it's relevant.
Here is where you can read about updates on things like roads, pavements, landscaping and other similar Public Open Space maintenance subjects. Plus we will tell you about any on-site community events that are being organised.
If you have discovered something newsworthy please feel free to drop us a line and we can consider sharing it on this website. Similarly, if you have any ideas for on-site community events please share your ideas with us. Send your message here.
The image above is of a September 2024 sunrise near Brailes, with a floating veil of mist over the Stour valley, as seen from Herdwick Fold. Thanks to photographer Chris Reed for the photo.
As we start our Association it seems appropriate to begin with a sunrise. A new day always brings new hope. And a new Residents Association brings hope that we can come together as a community and make a positive difference.
Shipston-on-Stour is a wonderful place to live but as with any new development there are things that need sorting out. Let's hope that just like the early morning mist over the Stour valley melts away with the rising sun, the issues that need to be resolved on our developments will begin to melt away as we work together to resolve them.
