Widdington is a delightful village.
Winding lanes lead up from Newport to Widdington village.
The Village Green has late 18-century farm workers Cottages 
mixed with earlier stone and thatched cottages from the late 1600's
The combination of such mixed housing makes 
Widdington village a real treasure.

New housing estates.

Will village life be lost in Widdington by the threat of  the new housing estates.

 

Develops have now put forward proposals which would see the village expand further by listing new sites as suitable for new housing estates in the Village.

However, residents fear any more development could squeeze services to the very limit. 

Car traffic has increased tenfold over ten years with the proposal of more housing adding to the misery.

Raw sewage leaks from  inspection cover in stormy weather into gardens as the old pipe work can’t  cope. 

 

Lower green is often  flooded as the old storm drains are blocked and nothing can be done as these no money. 

Just next door in Henham, Fairfield Application for 350 houses on land to the North West Of Henham Road.

We need affordable housing in the village not million pound plus homes.

The annexed account entitled: 

The Village of Widdington, Essex

Was written in 1939, as an appendix to a History of the Hollis, Ainslic, 

Bullock, Smith, Griffiths, Murkin, and Perry Familes, and it may be well 

to preface the account by recording briefly how the four last mentioned 

families came to be associated with, or interested in, Widdington.
