Melbourne Grove and surrounding area residents association

[Marcus]

There were a few residents association meetings a few months ago for people living in Melbourne Grove and the surrounding roads. Does anyone know what's happened to this? Is it still active? I haven't heard anything since...

[Asset]

how far does 'surrounding roads' extend?

[char1ie]

It died a death. As it was principally run by one individual, who managed to get the bus route moved to a different street, once the individual in question relaxed, nobody else took over the drive.

Maybe you should take up the reins Marcus? But then a residents association is nothing without a cause.

I agree Marcus. I would definitely like to see a revival of this association. I'll happily endorse your presidency.

[Marcus]

Excellent, so it's decided! We have a president - Charlie, and secretary, mixulee. Looking forward to your fine work. Well done for stepping up to the plate.

I wondered what had happened to it.

[char1ie]

I don't live in Melbourne Grove. And I wasn't involved in the previous incarnation. I also don't approve of residents associations unless they are set up for a reason. And I think this forum is a much easier way of discussing local issues.

We've checked on this and think that the Residents' Association you are referring to covers Tintagel Crescent, Jarvis Road, Derwent Grove, Elsie Road and 1-46 Melbourne Grove - ie the area bounded by East Dulwich Grove, Melbourne Grove (low numbers), and Derwent Grove/Tintagel Crescent.

They relaunched around February of this year. Tessa will contact the people who were behind it at the time and bring this thread to their attention.

There is, indeed, an active residents association - Vale Residents Association covering Melbourne Grove, Jarvis Road, Derwent Grove, Elsie Road and Tintagel Crescent - which canvassed every house in the neighbourhood had a very successful launch event in September at the Constitutional Club. We are addressing a number of local issues. The chair is Simon Blades of Elsie Road, vice-chair is Sandra Tait of Derwent Grove and the secretary is Trevor Gill of Melbourne Grove. For further information, please contact any of us. - Sandra Tait.

Hello Sandra, thanks for posting this information. Would it be possible to put the dates of future meetings on this thread?

Thanks.
