The Chalfont St. Giles Residents'
Association was formed in 1964 with the following aims:
To help preserve the rural character of the village
To keep residents informed of matters likely to affect them
To take action to protect their interests
To nominate or support candidates in local elections
To meet members for discussion and the exchange of views
Over the years, the Residents'
Association has been an active watchdog, what its then Chairman called a
form of assurance for the village. We are always vigilant in planning
matters, intervening often when we feel Green Belt policies are being
ignored or there is a threat to our Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Today, approximately 600 of the 2100
households in the parish are members, so when we do get involved, our
voice carries weight. But we need more support, more members and more
funds if the Association is to continue to have any influence in an
increasingly compartmentalised world. Indifferent bureaucracy, lack of
policing, the huge increase in vandalism, ever-increasing traffic, and the
ineffectiveness of local government all create problems that can only be
combated by organisations like ours.
Here's what we do:
-
Keep our members fully informed of
developments and events through our lively quarterly magazine Focus
-
Make sure the voice of our
Association and its members is heard strongly where it matters when it
matters
-
Give support to the creation and
maintenance of new village amenities
-
Support local charities and events
and work for the protection and revitalisation of the village
-
Organise and host events of our
own.
But to do all this we need you.
So why not join the Residents' Association now? Membership costs are very
modest (only £3 annually or £7.50 for three years), and as a member you
will also receive our lively quarterly magazine Focus, which
contains all the local news together with a listing of forthcoming village
events and short feature articles of historical interest.
To join, contact Richard Bickford,
Membership Secretary, Gorelands Corner, Gorelands Lane, Chalfont St Giles
HP8 4HQ.
