<p>Absolutely not, John. It was OAE's rapier deployment of Tony Benn's 5 Power-Point Questions wot did it. Tony from beyond the grave brought them down and got rid of them. Sorry about that, Geoff.</p>

<p>Apparently the real reason it disbanded was not the criticism from three witty(sic) New Zealanders on HoL but the fact that they couldn't come to an agreement on what to do with the bollards in the gardens.</p>

<p>I find I am deeply saddened by this news. We've lived locally for over 17 years now, and I can pinpoint the timing of the positive changes in this area to the development of this group. I have no idea what negativity the group has been subjected to, though perhaps we had a flavour at the beginning of the comments here, but I am truly sorry to see the GLSG go. And please accept my thanks for all your efforts.</p>

<p>Cheers Geoff. From what I've observed around London and elsewhere, trader/resident groups can work really well and I do hope something locally picks up the good work done by the GLSG. </p>

<p>First off, thanks to everyone for the positive messages.</p>
<p>To Hugh's point about the possibility of the group reforming, I don't sense that any of the 'founder members' have the appetite right now.</p>
<p>I can say that after the meeting in Selale where we decided to withdraw I felt that a burden had been lifted. Let me share here something I wrote on the WPRA email list earlier when I was reporting our withdrawal:</p>

<p>I can say that after the meeting in Selale where we decided to withdraw I felt that a burden had been lifted. Let me share here something I wrote on the WPRA email list earlier when I was reporting our withdrawal:</p>
<p><em>From a personal perspective, I realised from discussions at the Area Forum and online that there was a fundamental lack of trust in the GLSG from various parts of the community. We had been attempting to open the GLSG up to other organisations, but this was proving to be a fraught process and I saw little prospect of a cohesive solution when there was so much animosity and conflict.</em></p>
<p><em>It may be that another group will be formed, and it will be up to us whether we participate. In my view there is a need for a ‘group of groups and individuals’ to look at things like regeneration and planning for the wider area. We shall see.</em></p>
<p>Signing off for Easter - the hills and caves beckon. Have a good one.</p>
