There 's s magnificent turnout of about 120 residents to the meeting with Th^mes-
f n
down councillors and of icers on July 4th; thank you to all who came, and p rtic-
u1arly to all those who helped with the arrangements. 4 further meeting wns held
on July 11th of the people who had put their names down s volunteer represent-
atives on July 4th. It wes agreed here that the old Steering Committee (who
p
organised the ublic meeting) should continue to function, plus the volunteer-
who came for-*l ard until elections of representatives can be held; since we are,
and always have been, anxious to avoid self-election and non-accountability. We
aim to be recognised es the body which all Toothill residents have had the
opportunity to -nprove so that we can push the Council and other authorities to
+
de'l wi h YOUR grievances.

PLEASE GIVE US YOUR SUPPORT VOTE NOW so th?t we can get on with the essential job
of making sure th- re sidents have as much say as possible in the development of
Toothill.
If you were one of the residents to whom action was promised at the public
meeting, please let us know the result. If there is no response or action, then
we will demand to know why.
