Welcome

Welcome to the first edition of the revived newsletter and the brand new Tithe Farm & Ladygrove Residents Blog!!!  The Blog will cover the information in the newsletter but will be updated between editions with news for residents.  You will of course, be able to send your information to the editors to be added to the Blog.  We are aware that not everyone has access to a computer, so if anything significant happens between newsletters, we will organise a short paper 'flyer' round the estates.

The Spring Newsletter said that it would be the farewell edition unless something amazing happened.  Well, something amazing did happen and several new people came forward to help organise a newsletter.  Thank you Kay, Val and Jack.

This short edition is mainly to tell you about our plans.  At the moment, we are aiming to get out 4 paper editions of the newsletter a year - maybe more later if this is successful.

We have enough in the TFLRA account to cover the printing of 2 or 3 shorter newsletters so we won't be collecting subscriptions for the newsletter just yet but will start knocking on doors again in the Spring.  The next couple of newsletters will go to all residents on the estates unless they have said recently that they definitely do not want a newsletter.  We thought that there might be a number of houses that have missed out in the past for a variety of reasons - for example, away when the collectors called or are new residents.

Do let us have your contributions and articles.  If you want to contact us by email, you can do this on tfl_ra@zoho.com  If you would prefer to ring us, then you can get us on 07732251334 and leave a message.  More contact details at the end of the newsletter.

Finally, in the last edition Eleanor Dangerfield thanked many people for their help with the newsletter.  We would also like to thank Eleanor for all her hard work editing and running the newsletter in the past.

We look forward to hearing from residents and hope you will enjoy the new look newsletter and Blog.

News

At the end of August we learned that the County Council must reconsider their earlier decision 'not to proceed with the proposals' to alter the pelican crossing on Marcham Road/install a new pelican crossing on Ock Street.  Apparently they decided to do this after a legal challenge.  They have invited comments on this by 26th September 2014, in time for their meeting on 9th October 2014.  Unfortunately the timing of this newsletter may mean that we haven't brought you this news before the meeting, but is the sort of item that we hope to circulate as 'flyers' in between newsletters in future.

AGM

The TFLRA AGM will be held on Tuesday 18th November at 7.30pm at the Jephson flats Common Room, Bridges Close.  All residents are welcome!
