Committee meeting
Wednesday 5th February 2025, 8pm at Tesco

To continue the vital work we do, we are looking for you, a local resident, to join our ranks. If you would like to be part of a community group, help organise exciting events and foster and protect the community spirit of the HPRA aims to deliver, then please get in touch or come along to our next meeting held at Tesco Hurst Park, so that you can see first-hand who we are and what we do. We meet by the Customer Service Desk.


The main issue concerning residents in Hurst Park is the sale of our green spaces.



Who we are:
                        
The Hurst Park Residents' Association (HPRA) is an association run for and by people living on Hurst Park. Formed back in 1965 when the development was first built, our purpose was, and is, to maintain and improve the amenities on Hurst Park and to promote a community spirit.
                                                        
If there is anything that you think would be useful to include, please let us know via the Contact Us page.
What we do:
                      
In terms of amenities for Hurst Park, we fought for and gained a local supermarket and post office when the developer wanted nothing but more housing! We created the Heritage Marker on the riverbank, cleaned up graffiti, and continue to press for improvements to our local environment. In order to promote community spirit, we publish a six monthly newsletter for HPRA members, hold an annual quiz, and an evening event on the riverbank, “Midsummer Music at the Marker”, with entertainment from local schools, a barbecue, stalls and live music. We also encourage residents to hold street parties for special events such as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, or when the main roads are closed for sporting events.
What we don’t do:
As an association, we cannot intervene in disputes between neighbours, but can point you in the right direction for local council assistance if needed.
About this site:

If you’re new to Hurst Park, or thinking of moving here, you’ll find a huge amount of information about our local area and also about HPRA events. 

If you’re a long-standing resident, you’ll probably discover lots of things you didn’t know about the history of the development, the racecourse on which is was built, and the fascinating past of the area dating back to pre-historic times.
