WELCOME...<br />
...to the August / September edition of <strong>VV</strong>...<br />
It's been a brilliant summer in P&TG so far,<br />
with lots of summer events taking place in the<br />
villages - and this year we have had some<br />
summer sun! The availability of the many clubs,<br />
societies and activities are the things that really<br />
make Penn & Tylers Green a special place to<br />
live - as well as the beauty of our environment<br />
So, it is no surprise that many residents have<br />
expressed concerns about the proposed changes<br />

increased volume of traffic as a result of the<br />
infrastructure changes, not only in P&TG, but<br />

plans reviewed. <strong>VV</strong> readers are invited to sign<br />
an e-petition to require the decision makers, to<br />
review the proposals and consider alternatives<br />
Please read carefully all the updates on the<br />
planned developments, and if you feel strongly,<br />
consider signing the e-petition. In P&TG , we<br />
have a strong tradition of campaigning - most<br />
recently we supported the successful Joe<br />
Gleeson campaign.<br />
Elsewhere in <strong>VV</strong> we have other concerned<br />
villagers writing about other issues affecting the<br />
amenity enjoyment of our villages - flytipping,<br />
dog poo, and overgrown vegetation affecting the<br />
visibility of road signs.<br />
Enjoy the rest of the summer, and please<br />
write to share your news and views - we are<br />
always pleased to feature contributions from our<br />
community. Cathy O'Leary <strong>VV</strong> Editor<br />
