End of year newsletter - November 2020
We recently sent out our end of year newsletter. You can read it here
Hello!
2020 has been a different, weird and stressful year to say the least and we hope that you have been keeping well.
Despite the pandemic stopping us from using the community hall, we’ve continued to put on events where it's safe to do so. These have included the Get Fit Classes in the park and also the Summer Fun Day where we were lucky enough to hear The Cavaliers steel band play and see Orvil limboing! We’ve also carried on applying for funding for events and improvements.
Next year, the Get Fit Classes will continue together with neighbouring Lindley Estate, whom we are also working with to put on more events for kids. We will strive to help to resolve residents' issues and push for improvements for the estate.
Thank you Orvil and George for your efforts during the summer event, all of the residents involved in the New Homes project, Paul and Bernice for your huge help with everything TRA related and everyone who got involved in the Covid Mutual Aid efforts or came along to our TRA meetings. This newsletter is dedicated to Sue and Paul who sadly passed this year. Big love.
Chris - TRA chairperson

Bins and Recycling
We’ve been working with Southwark Council to try and bring improvements to the estate for the way waste and recycling is managed. It’s a slow process but we’ll keep at it. If you have any views on the bins from where you are we want to hear from you.
New homes - Our view
You should have recently received a newsletter from Southwark council about the new homes. The process has been long, time-consuming and at times frustrating for the residents who have taken part. We have tried very hard to get the most out of it for the estate including fighting for green space and trees, play-space and reducing the number of units being proposed.
