We are going to be holding a Litter Blitz throughout the HVRA area on Saturday July 16th.

We are aiming to start at 11am and finish at 12.30 when we hope to meet at the Harrow for a celebratory drink.

It would be lovely to have a good turnout, and perhaps gets some good photos for the website, and/or magazine.

HVRA supports GASP

Hughenden Valley Residents Association is a proud member of Groups Against the Stadium Proposals as we believe in supporting others in protecting the Green Belt from development. GASP describe themselves as:

“GASP is a focal body made up of groups, associations, societies and individuals who share a common belief that the stadium proposals on Green Belt land at Booker Airfield are wrong. By bringing everyone together resources from within each subscribing body/group can be pooled to maximise effect. We thus have working groups. For instance we have a fund raising group, a marketing group, an infrastructure group, people looking specifically at the business case and the list goes on. We are NOT against rugby or football far from it – a significant proportion of WWFC members are fully behind us.”

The next full GASP meeting will be held on Friday 25th February 19:30 at Booker Memorial Hall.
