Park Langley Residents' Association
To promote and protect the interests of the residents of Park Langley
Welcome to the website of the Park Langley Residents' Association.
The Association operates to promote and protect the interests of the resident's of Park Langley. Park Langley, situated in Beckenham, Kent, UK is a well defined geographical area bounded by three roads; Hayes Lane, Barnfield Wood Road and Wickham Way. A natural triangle is formed encompassing just over a thousand properties. Part of the triangle is located in a Conservation Area, the other in an Area of Special Residential Character. It is therefore worth preserving and enhancing the residential character of this area and the Residents' Association aims to do this.
This website should provide a means to keep us together as a community and so help to promote and protect our interests.

Bonfires - With the accumulation of leaves, there is a temptation to light smokey bonfires. Could the bonfire be avoided and the leaves composted instead? Please be neighbourley and sympathetic! If necessary, please have a smokey bonfire at dusk.

It seems the Lollipop Lady at the top of Brabourne Rise will remain in 2012 if the shortfall in funding can be overcome. A long term solution might be to create a zebra crossing. This would serve to slow the traffic in Hayes Lane as well.
****
Special plastic bags for the food recycling boxes are available at Shortlands Library. There is now a charge for these.
