'Tooth Residents Orpan sat on

Many people have asked me recently if the T.R.O. is still active. despite widespread rumours to the
contrary coming from the direction of Euclid Street, the Toothill Residents Organisation is alive and, if not well,
fighting back. We believe that the T.R.O. has a valuable role to play as the ; independ ant voice of Toothill
residents, un—hampered by party political restrictions.
By the time you read this, every household on Toothill will have received a copy of our letter asking for your
support. We hope that you will give that support, but perhaps more important still, we hope that you will
write and tell us what you would like to see the T.R.O. doing for you as residents.

We had a stall at the 'Toot & Whistle' Anniversary Celebrations in May, and together with the Farmhouse Steering
Committee, hope to organise a 'Toothill Fete' in the Autumn.
Bob Bannister — Chairman, Toothill Residents Organisation, 8 Clare Walk, Toothill.
