<\/p>Although updates have been slow here, behind the scenes it\u2019s a different story as the Galley Hill Residents Association is continuing apace and things are happening in Galley Hill.\n

$\"The$ <\/p>\n

Firstly, the noticeboard by the school has finally been moved to its new position. Cllr Mick Allsopp and our Chairperson Nyomie were there to see the result of months of badgering the council to get the first of the GHRA projects completed.<\/p>\n

We have also seen the bench carving project funded and the carving begun.\u00a0 $\"The$ The local St. Mary St. Giles school in Galley Hill has been asked to involve the children in designing a theme for the carver to decorate the bench with.<\/p>\n

There has also been a very welcome closer relationship between GHRA and both of our Councillors for the area, with all 3 working together to put pressure on the various Councils to get the necessary repairs done in Galley Hill. We are now getting a better response when issues are raised, such as when the park trampoline needed to be repaired. MK Council were contacted by several residents, the case was highlighted to both Councillors by the GHRA, and Mick Allsopp and Paul Bartlett both put additional pressure on the council to get a speedy response.\u00a0 The same thing happened when the park surfacing material was vandalised, again we had the backing of the councillors and again a prompt response.<\/p>\n

Some things however still get short shrift from MK Council such as missing street name signage at Clailey Court and Redbourne Court, potholes, and tree damage to redway paths, despite the concerted efforts by residents, GHRA and our councillors. We continue trying to motivate the Council to stop passing the buck and to carry out much needed repairs around the estate anyway.<\/p>\n

Finally we are looking for thesingers among you to volunteer to sing in the carol services being organised by our secretary Joy, and court reps Sue and Kate. They are\u00a0proposing to hold the carols on Tue, 12th December, starting ~6pm and\u00a0would also like to hold a general rehearsal on Thurs, 23rd November. Please volunteer if you have the time, contact them by email secretary@ghra.uk<\/a> or buckley@ghra.uk\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for your support from all at GHRA<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
