Residents meeting

The residents meeting will still be taking place in the SMP this evening (21 July 19:00) despite repairs to the Arts Centre fencing off the area.

The entrance is on the school side of the fencing at the bottom of the slope leading up to the SMP.

Hope to see you there.

Volunteer recognition

Milton Keynes Council invited GHRA to a Volunteer Celebration Event on 7 June 2022. Laura (secretary) & Alan (vice-chair) attended on behalf of GHRA and were presented with an award for our volunteers.

The Galley Hill 50 event illustrates what can be done by our team, it was a great success. Sue T deserves recognition for organising the event.

We can always use more help so please get in touch if you can spare some time.

Stony Stratford Annual Town Meeting

Stony Stratford Annual Town Meeting is not a Town Council meeting, it is the annual meeting for the town and its electors where they get to come along and discuss anything they would like to. All residents from Fullers Slade, Galley Hill and Stony Stratford are invited to attend. It is held in the Spring each year – normally in March or April. The date of the next Town Meeting is Wednesday, 27th April 2022 at 7.30pm – please click here for further details. .  

All parishes hold an annual meeting for electors.  Annual meetings have taken place since 2001 in the parish of Stony Stratford which includes Fullers Slade, Galley Hill and Stony town.

The Agenda at meetings is usually as follows:

  •     Presentation of an annual Community Award to a person or people who have helped enhance the parish community.
  •     Accept minutes from previous year
  •     Electors receive the Annual Report of the Chair of Stony Stratford Town Council followed by a question and answer session.
  •     There is usually a presentation regarding a topic of local interest during the meeting.

Please remember that this is your meeting so come along and have your say. Ask questions and we’ll try to answer them.

Last year’s Annual Town Meeting was held on 10th March 2020. Please click here to view a copy of the draft minutes of the meeting.

GHRA Needs You

Plenty of people complain about speeding and ask why nothing is done about it, and now is the time for them to do something about it and engage in a community service. GHRA intend to set up a GHRA Community Speed Watch group.
We need someone new to volunteer as  group leader and volunteers to support him/her. There is a PDF full of information below, so take a look at what is involved and If interested parties could please contact committee@ghra.uk we can hopefully get something set up.
