Update 1

Those of you with good memories might recall an attempt in 2013 to form a Galley Hill Residents Association. Several of us still think this is a good idea as Galley Hill is looking tired and could do with some TLC.

Mick Allsopp ( Galley Hill Ward Councillor   SSTC ) is organising a meeting at The Galley Hill Small Meeting Place (above the shop) on Thursday the 17th of November at 19:00 to see if we can form a committee to take this forward. Please come along and join us or email galleyhill.mk@gmail.com to indicate your support if you are unable to attend due to other commitments.

Things we would like to do. (have we missed anything?)

• discourage noise and antisocial behaviour, let’s be good neighbours    

       

• litter, let’s keep Galley Hill in good repair and tidy it will enhance our properties value

   

• neighbourhood watch in each court would lower our insurance bills, we also need to discourage drug and alcohol abuse (discarded needles observed in bushes)

   

• park your car on your drive, be considerate (don’t risk blocking an ambulance or fire engine)  

     

• the grass-crete verge has not been maintained and is failing suggest when council repairs they extend to provide additional parking spaces

       

• encourage authorities to trim overgrown trees damaging pathways and blocking street lighting

   

• repair and restore each court play area

• repair and restore Galley Hill meeting place and workshops
