After having heard from one person that they thought their name was on the original petiton requesting an SGM by mistake, the Friends of Piplings personally visited or contacted again everyone whos name had appeared on the petition to ensure that no further mistakes had been made. At no point was the petition intended to deceive or anyones name added without the clear understanding.

4 or 5 people of the original 48 told us that, after having been visited by representatives of the residents association, they would now prefer to have their names withdrawn from the petition. This was done on the updated version sent to you.

A number of other people that we did speak to also told us that they were visited by their road rep who was claiming that the petition was 'trying to shut the Residents Association down'. We have clarified that this was never the case on this forum and to those that we have spoken to individually.

We disasgree that around 25% of the names were added to the petition without authority.

This meeting is intended to provide some clarification as to why the Tewkesbury Lodge Estate Residents Association have over 15 months used funds, researched covenants and then initiated and continued to fully support legal action against a family living in the community, threatening their livelihood and the closure of an outstanding Children's Nursery.
