The site has just become infamous! ..... the Lord Mayor of London has joined and made a comment on the Forum!, yes Boris Johnson has posted a comment!,Whats going on? take a look, the worlds gone mad!
The community spirit has been fantastic.... and hopefully is becoming stronger as we all communicate and get to know one another and combine our efforts to make the Hamlet a better place to live!! We will be adding information, LOCAL PHOTOS , News and residents concerns about the local issues, as it is passed on.
In fact it would be fantastic to keep this site going for the community once we have attended to all immediate issues and hopefully resolve them with your already splendid support. The Motocross was stopped and peace returned. We all thought a smaller development would be built at the bottom of Smedley Crooke and in Ash Lane but the planning committee have OK'd the 20 houses even against the recommendations of the Planning Officer, MP, and 98% of the residents. (issues on this are still on going and we will post updated news as we go along) November has been mentioned for the start of building, its only hear-say thougH Tony Harris at 5 Ways shows his commitment to the local community! Also Parish Council vacancy in Hopwood. Lets get the right candidate in!
5 Ways Open Night for local residents.
