Chorleywood Residents' Association will once again have a stall at Chorleywood Village Day (Saturday 8th July), and returning by popular demand is our "Underground Game". We'd love to see you and talk to you about the work of the CRA, and if you give us your email address we'll keep you informed via our monthly e-newsletter of local matters. Do come along and meet us!

Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) is working with the Countryside Management Service (CMS) to create a new five year management plan for Chorleywood House Estate.

You have the opportunity to provide feedback on the initial briefing document which outlines the aims and aspirations for the management of the site. The feedback received will be used to develop the five year management plan.
