Beacon Hill TRA

 

 

We always need more support from local people so please come and join us. A growing number of local issues have already been addressed or are in process of being dealt with, for example, the passage-way ‘clean ups’ with improved lighting, the MEB sub-stations has been cleaned up, complete fencing and security gate at Beacon Rise Garage Site and security systems installed in the bungalows to name but a few. The TRA received funding to convert an old garage site at the Quadrant into a secure parking area with fencing and a gate, it is hoped that this will ease some of the parking issues on the estate. If you would like to give it a try then email our Housing Manager or contact via  0300 555 2345, it is a very secure place for parking with lighting.

 

Beacon Hill Tenants and Residents Association from Sedgley would like to inform our tenants and residents and any other interested bodies and organisations that our association has been working tirelessly for the benefit of all we represent for ten years. Our association was formed in 1998 after some determined people decided things needed to be done for our estate and we still have two original members on the committee, these are Terri Grocutt and Peter Hartshorne who has been our Chairman from the beginning, our Treasurer has been a member and treasurer for the last 9 years and our other committee members have each been members for different periods of time.

Once again the year rolls round and it comes again to the time for our TRA to organise and participate in a litter-pick, which we hope will leave the estate looking clean and tidy, somewhere to be proud of.  The litter-pick event took place on 11th July 2009.

The group worked with Council officers, Police and our MP, Ian Austin, and would like to thank them for helping out both before and during the event.  Donations were received from local businesses which helped us to ensure that children had a goody-bag to thank them for helping out.

The day was a huge success with many bags of rubbish being collected.  There was a buffett after the litter pick, during which we held a raffle with some lovely prizes being won.

The TRA would again like to THANK everyone that supported us and worked to hold another great litter-pick day in Sedgley.

The Princess Trust team recently carried out a clean-up around the base of the Beacon Tower and did a really excellent job.

Some members of the TRA, with the help of the Assistant Parks Development Officer, are in the progress of setting up a Friends of Sedgley Beacon group.  This will allow the friends group to apply for funding to assist with the restoration of the tower and surrounding areas.
