Dear Resident,
We are definitely in the silly season – nothing to watch on television and nothing much happening at Whitehouse Farm. The RAs, including WGRA, are keeping up the pressure on the Highways management to get the Infrastructure Working Group with the developers, off the ground, but there is nothing else to report so this will be a short bulletin.
Web Site
The webmaster is now Finan Letts who is also being co-opted onto the committee. He is just updating the existing site to keep it going at the moment, as his new baby is due soon, but may make changes in due course. If you want to contact him, his email address is finan_letts@hotmail.com
A big thank you to Colin Hicks for setting up the website and all the work he has done for the WGRA in the past.
I regret that I shall not be at the next two coffee mornings. If you want to contact me, please do so on chair@westgatera.org.uk
Richard Brownfield
