Barry Grant - CGRA Chairman
93 Frankland Road
Telephone:01923 778660
Barry was elected Chairman at the November 2008 Extraordinary General Meeting.
“We moved into New Road in 1982 and now live in Frankland Road. My wife, Mandy, works at Little Green School and my eldest son, James, works in Croxley attending to most of Croxley’s IT needs.
My first recollections of Croxley are from fishing on Common Moor when I was a kid when I would cycle up from my parents house in Stanmore. I’ve been involved with the Revels Committee for over 20 years and have been chairman of the Keep Croxley Green Group since its inception in 2004. I maintain a keen interest in the developments affecting our community and I felt, in taking on the Chair of the Association, that there was an opportunity to improve the line of communication between all the component parts of our community”.

Tony Munroe - Vice Chairman and "The Resident" advertising
I was born and lived in Paddington West London until moving to Croxley with my wife Vanessa in the summer of 1995. It was such a big contrast from city life but it didn’t take long before we realised what a wonderful place Croxley is, especially its strong sense of community. I still remember the warm welcome we received from our neighbours whom we still have a lovely relationship with to this day.
I have been actively involved in the community for a number of years now from helping out at my children’s schools with fund raising and as a volunteer, to serving as a Parish Councillor and now as a member on both the Resident Association and Croxley Road Safety committees.
I have swapped roles with my wife becoming a househusband, so I do spend a vast amount of my time around Croxley and willing get involved with issues that benefit our community.
There will always be pressures for changes that could force Croxley to lose its identity such as extensive building projects or other local issues that need to be addressed such as school places and road safety. We are fortunate that we have a strong and active Resident Association, which is willing to take on these issues so we can all have a community that we are proud to be part off.

Mandy Grant
I’ve lived in Croxley for nearly 30 years, working at a local School for over 15 years. I care passionately about our village which has provided a safe and friendly community for my two sons to grow up in. I have been a keen member of the CGRA for the past 5 years ever since I went, cap in hand, with a request for the Association to support residents campaigning to protect local woodland from development.
I’m also a member of the Keep Croxley ‘Green’ Group which works hard to protect and maintain our greenbelt environs, as well as being involved in a new project, Flowers4Croxley, which aims to provide floral initiatives around the village.
I would encourage any resident (or visitor) reading this to take the time to visit some of Croxley’s treasures including local bluebell woodlands, Common Moor, Croxley Great Barn, or to walk some of the numerous footpaths which weave through unspoilt countryside all around our village. If you already know these places, you will understand why Croxley is such a special place to live.

Margaret Pomfret
Living in Croxley Green since 1985, and born in West Hyde, I have always lived in SW Herts.
In 1990 after joining the Residents Association, I was a Parish Councillor from 1991 for 9 years.
In conjunction with an organisation, Common Ground, that encouraged Local Distinction about the place in which you live, I designed and produced the Parish Map for the PC. I also produced a plan for ‘Stones Orchard’ which involved all the local schools in replanting trees known to have grown there; also produced a booklet about its history. Whilst on the PC, I was Chairman of the Environment Committee for most of my service and organised community involved competitions; these included Gardens, Photography and Jnr Schools’ “Painting for Environmental Awareness” issues. I was a ‘player’ in the ‘Croxley Mummers’ for many years playing the part of the Turkish Knight and The Giant! I enjoy all aspects of the ‘outdoor life’ and collecting Local History.
