circulation of information following the tornado
Dear residents affected by the tornado,
I have taken your names from a couple of circulation lists and have added a few others - but I am mailing this “blind” as I am not sure if you wish your address to be publicly known.
You may be receiving all the information you need but in case you are not, please read - below - what I sent to the Tornado office earlier today. You could ask the office to send you emails directly, or through me or Ted Ryan (though I have not met him yet).
We talked about appointing Street Reps at the meeting last night and some of you may, like me, have already offered to serve. I am not sure how the Council intends to recruit Street Reps, other than asking for volunteers at meetings.
I think that it would make life so much easier if Street Reps were on email, though I am sorry about the social exclusion implications. The roads covered by people with e-mail (or at least on current e-mail circulation lists) are Alder, Anderton Park, Birchwood, Birchwood Crescent, Cadbury, Clifton, Dennis, Ladypool, Queenswood, Sandford, Whitby and Woodstock -
though in some roads there is only one person on e-mail and they may not be willing to serve.
If you would be willing to serve as a Street Rep. please get in touch with me, or Ted Ryan or the Tornado Office. If you know people in other affected roads who may be willing to serve, please tell them to do the same. If you may be willing, but would like to know what you would be expected to do first, a few of us might need to meet to discuss this before the next meeting. If you have suggestions about the duties of a Street Rep. - other than being a point of contact for both the council and your neighbours, putting up notices in your window and holding a stock of information to hand out to your neighbours - please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes from
Esther Boyd
