PHRA was formed in May 1988 and since then has undertaken a range of activities and campaigns at the request of members to maintain and improve the area around Pollards Hill, and is a key to keeping our local environment and community alive and well.

WHY JOIN PHRA? 

·         Shopping Discount Cards:  The PHRA membership card provide members with a range of discounts at a number of local businesses. Members benefit from the discounts (a few visits to participating businesses and you will recoup your PHRA subscription) and local businesses gain more trade.

·         Local Environment:  Planting bulbs around the Hill to brighten up the area;  PHRA clean-ups of the park, old allotments and streets in the area;  the Viewing Plaque at the top of Pollards Hill was reinstated and an associated book of descriptions/photographs placed in Norbury Library for reference; regular contact with the Council/councillors about littering and fly-tipping;  attendance at liaison meetings with the local police Safer Neighbours Team (SNT).  

·         Property Developments:  We monitor local planning applications.

·         Information, Advice and Assistance:  We issue newsletters to members and have provided assistance on a range of neighbourhood issues.  Our website has been updated and is now interactive, so items/concerns raised will receive a response.  We have extended the e-mail ‘alert’ system (on local crime etc.) to cover all those members who have provided their e-mail addresses to us.

·         Social Events:  See events page for a list of forthcoming events.
