This Week's Bin Collection:
No bin collections this week.
The chair of the TVRA, Jo Keeling, has been working very hard on behalf of all residents, to get the BCP Council to repair a number of issues that affect our village. Thanks to her persistence and perseverance, the street light between Marianne Close and Vine Farm Close has now been repaired, and the potholes down Gillett Road, near the University, have been filled in.
She is now awaiting an update on the street light on Fern Barrow, near the entrance to Purchase Road (pictured here before it’s demise).
If you are not a member of the TVRA, please use the Membership tab above to join. The more members we have the more powerful a voice Jo will have with the Council.

Jo Keeling, the Chair of the TVRA, wrote to our local MP Conor Burns and asked for his help with the Highmoor Farm planning application. Within a lengthy letter detailing all the concerns about the planning committee meetings, she asked if he would speak to the Secretary of State Michael Gove to request that he call the planning application in. Conor visited Jo shortly afterwards and agreed he would help.

Like most of the Committee, she has lived in the Village for 20 plus years, and brings lots of local knowledge and no little enthusiasm to the team.

The 2nd Postbox on the village, that fell down earlier in the year, is finally open to accept letters. The picture is slightly rain splattered, but hopefully you can see that Collections are 9am Monday to Friday, and 7.00am on Saturday.
As a reminder from the earlier post (01/11/23), it is now sited at the end (or start, depending how you approach it) of the cycle / walk way through the centre of the village. It is opposite Valley View and next to the dog bin and railings.

Work has finally started on the re-development of White Farm in the woods opposite the University and near to Slades Farm. The work is likely to be ongoing for quite some time. For those that don’t know, it is being developed into sheltered accommodation for use by the charity Diverse Abilities.
Be aware, that if you do walk through the woods near there, particularly dog walkers, the ground is very churned up due to the combination of heavy machinery and the amount of rain we have recently had. (added 17/11/23)
