About us

  • Membership is open to anyone living in Braybrooke Ward
  • Our aim is to improve the environmental quality of our local area and to maintain and develop the Pocket Park at Smith’s Yard, which was opened in September 2003
  • First met in 1996 as a group of residents and achieved Charity status in 1998
  • We hold regular general meetings with our ward councillors and guest speakers
  • We liaised successfully with Southern Water, Hastings Borough Council and local residents  to ensure that the stormwater tunnel spoil was removed by rail, not road
  • Members attend various meetings involving the regeneration of Hastings and St. Leonards. We have also achieved other local environmental improvements including lighting for Cromer Walk, the clearing of a twitten and the provision of a dog waste bin
  • Members are closely involved with ongoing improvements to the wonderfully restored  Alexandra Park, such as the selection of the sculpture "Continuum" in the boating lake, and the development of the Hastings Greenway

     We have General Meetings 4 times a year, usually with a guest speaker. The venue is Sherwood House at 20 Baldslow Road and all meetings in 2008 are on Tuesdays at 7.30pm:   18 March, 10 June (Annual General Meeting), 9 September, 16 December.                

We very much welcome new members. The subscription is £3 per year for individuals and £10 for groups (such as road associations) and businesses. Please contact Councillor Dominic Sabetian or Councillor Godfrey Daniel for an application form.
