YOUR SUPPORT NOW.
othill Residents Organisation
We are two years old this year but incredibly we still meet
residents (not necessarily new to the area) who have not heard of
T.R.O. Maybe the T.R.O. is a victim of its own success!
/ Representations by the T.R.O. to the various Authorities have
resulted in * Speed Restriction signs being erected
* Improvements in Footpaths
* The Provision of a Pharmacy
Q * The Resolution of many individual residents' problem
But the T.R.O. needs YOUR support and interest if we are to
continue to be effective.
In January the T.R.O. had a meeting to which all Dog Owners were
invited to discuss the problems of stray dogs and dogs fouling the
environment. Unfortunately only 3 dog owners turned up, but as a result of the discussio
that took place, the Borough Council have been asked to provide an exercise area in
Toothill Park. They are also being pressed to extend their dog warden service to Toothill
when we become part of Thamesdown. In the meantime all dog owners are asked to study the
very snsible Code of Practice which will be included in a future copy of the Link. We
hope you will agree that implimentation of The Code will benefit both Dogs and Humans.

Come to the T.R.O Meetings on the Last Monday of the Month,
7.30pm in the Dunwich Drive Community Centre (opp. Doctors Surgery)
