MAYOR SUPPORTS OLD GAOL


Visiting the Air Show on Sunday, Town Mayor, Peter Green, put pen to paper in support of Abingdon pressure group, Community in the Old Gaol (GOG). Glynne Butt, COG chairman, is with him. COG is pressing the Vale of White Horse District Council, to include increased public access and facilities for the local community in its redevelopment plans for the site.

COG at Air and County Show, Abingdon



COG had a stall at this show on Sunday, and we were delighted at the amount of support we found for COG and its aims. People from quite a wide area around Abingdon were interested and many signed our petition. Our picture shows Mr and Mrs Wright of Upper Heyford signing the petition, with Glynne Butt from COG. Also shown is a group who signed the petion and are enjoying breakfast in rather chilly conditions. More later........
