Chairman’s note 2025-26

Dear Neighbours and Visitors,

Welcome to the Pollards Hill Residents’ Association website where you will find a wealth of information related to our locale. The club was established in 1988 making us the oldest residents’ association in Norbury.

Don't forget to Join our Facebook group and browse our website for the latest news and our upcoming events !

Over the last few years, the PHRA Committee have been very busy, working behind the scenes for our residents. We have had wonderful, positive feedback but still have a few residents who are demanding more. That's great but please come on board, we require our vacant Committee places to be filled for the PHRA to work at its full capacity.  

We hope to continue providing our statement core values: to our residents - to Enhance, Secure and Maintain the PHRA footprint for our residents.

We hope to see you all at the AGM and throughout the year. We are always happy to listen to your thoughts and ideas; you can contact us on our contact form or by email to phraenquiries@gmail.com 

Best wishes, Jim – Chair PHRA
