Dear Residents Play Area Please take a few minutes to act upon this message - don't assume that everyone else will do it Our latest email is very focussed upon the issue of the proposed play Area for Chorleywood. You will be aware that over the past couple of years, the Residents' Association and others have been working on the Play Area project.
