1000 households.
Also on Tuesday we had our monthly committee meeting and on
Wednesday a meeting with Fiona King Ivybridge Team Leader and Jen Emeny of Positive Futures regarding the coming Street Athletics to be held on Ivybridge. Further

The Weekend

Well, most of the weekend was spent preparing the latest newsletter. This should be distributed in about the next couple of weeks.
Also preperations for our next committee meeting in the week ahead took up the rest of my time.
Time now for a well deserved rest.

In Memory of Margaret Kelly.

On Friday the 5th June I attended Mortlake Crematorium (as the Residents Association Representitive) the Funeral of Margaret Kelly of Thirlmere House. Margaret died soon after being the victim of a fire in her flat. Many friends and family attended.
Our thoughts are with her partner John whome she spent many years with.

Back at long last.

Well here we are back at long last.
Since the begining of the year I have been busy attending many meetings on behalf of the residents of Ivybridge.
Among these are meetings with the RFU and the Police with regard to the closure of Summerwood Road on major event days other than to Ivybridge Resisdents.
Meetings with Hounslow Council regarding the proposed 20 mph Zone on Ivybridge which
has recieved funding to go ahead with.
Also Ron Robinson has been sorting the final steps for our bids for 2 refurbished play areas for our younger members of the estate. One with the Rainbow Project and the other the Big Lottery Grant.Both of which are in the final stage.
I also attended an open meeting arranged by Hounslow Homes/Hounslow Council at the Treaty Centre regarding Cllr. Andrews Project Empower which is another project in which the tenantswill decide what they would like to see the £2.7m spent on. £1.3m will be spent on Aids andadaptions. Making in total £4m.
Also at the latest Central Forum meeting funding was agreed for Lighting in the Doggy Park,3 new external Notice Boards for the URA to inform residents whats happening on the estatea drying room for the residents of the Langdale Centre and a new security fence around the grounds of the cresh at the Bridgelink.
We have also started the re-introduction of the Block representitive scheme. If you are interested in becoming a Block Rep. please contact the URA.
Well thats just a few of the many things we have been involved in during the past few months.
