Monton, we need you AGAIN!

Thanks to your efforts, we successfully appealed the plans for the digital advertising screen. HOWEVER, BT is now appealing that decision so we need your help again. We are dismayed and disappointed to learn that BT is pursuing this when we have clearly and repeatedly expressed our opposition, believing this screen would create unnecessary street clutter and access issues yet they continue to push it.

🚨Action Needed🚨

You need to submit your objection comments online via the Planning Inspectorate Comments link below. They are appealing both previous applications so if you do disagree we need to appeal BOTH.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Click this link: https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk

2. When you land on the page go to search for case on the right. (See pics)

3. Enter the case number and then submit your personal details and enter comments. There are two case numbers so you need to repeat this process for both. The case numbers are: 3375781 AND 3375783

🚨Deadline is December 30th 2025 for comments! 🚨

We know it's a VERY busy time of year for you all but please can you take the time to click above and comment. Don't assume everyone else is going to do this. Every comment counts. Get commenting!

Thank you Monton!

Wow, wow, wow! We think we’ve only just recovered from the Jingle Mingle on Saturday!

What a day. Here's a snapshot of the day with some of our favourite photos, including just a few (that we managed to get snaps of!) of the brilliant people who helped bring it all to life, our wonderful volunteers.

A massive thank you again to for rallying such an incredible volunteer crew, and an even bigger thank you to every single one of you who came along. Your smiles, your patience (as we navigated big crowds across the day!), and your generosity meant the world. We do this for you, and we’re so grateful for the support you show us year after year and all money raised goes back into our community and continues to light up Monton at Christmas.

And if you didn’t manage to enter our Monton Mega Raffle on the day… good news! It’s still open. You can grab your tickets online right up until the 21st of December. You can enter online by following the link below: https://www.montonvca.org.uk/events/mvca-jingle-mingle-raffle-2025

Good luck! 🎟️🎟️

And for our final Monton Jingle Mingle partner spotlight, say hello to Tucked away at the bottom of Lansdowne Road at Protector Lamp Business Park, The Works is more than a gym; it’s a true Monton community hub. A place where neighbours become workout buddies, confidence grows, and everyone’s cheered on by name.

With friendly classes, group PT, 1-2-1 coaching and open-gym sessions, they make fitness feel welcoming for every level, inclusive, supportive and proudly Monton through and through.

Patrick and Georgia have built something special: a space that brings people together and gets them moving. Give them a follow or message them about booking a session.

A massive shout-out to The Works team and members for helping us rally so many volunteers for Jingle Mingle day. We couldn’t do it without you today!

See you all from 12. It might be drizzling outside but we're 100% weather proof and a warm welcome is on the cards!
