Hello, and welcome to the HUHRA website

‘Halfway up the Hill’

As a community we have previously achieved wonderful things: We put together the Halfway Up the Hill Festival and the funds we raised were used to seek Millenium Green Status for the under-used allotment site at the bottom of Alexandra Terrace. In 1997 this site was released to become a public space, and Liquorice Park was born! Had our community not come together then this valuable green space would without a doubt have been sold to developers.

Over the years the community has fragmented. We also became increasingly frustrated that the remaining voice we had left was just not being heard any more. So as we are just outside the WERA boundary we thought having our own Residents Association would provide an opportunity to make a real difference to our community, whilst at the same time bringing it closer together.

HUHRA formed on the 29th July 2024.

We intend to act as a positive group within the local community, supporting and actively fostering good municipal relations, whilst at the same time addressing issues of concern, and making improvements to our neighbourhood. We really hope that, by harnessing the enthusiasm and skills of local residents to more actively shape our area, we will build the local community we need over the coming years.

Be part of something good!

About Us

Get Creative with Our Christmas Postbox Topper Project! 🎅

HUHRA has teamed up with The Joiners Crafters for this wonderful community art project, bringing neighbours together to design a fun Christmas-themed post box topper. Everyone is welcome, no matter your skill level! This is a great way to connect, collaborate, and celebrate creativity in our neighbourhood.

It’s not too late to join in. You can create your own design using your own knitting or crochet patterns. Just make sure your figures are no taller than 5 inches and drop them in at The Joiners Arms by Sunday 7th December.

Need some inspiration? Check out some of these ideas.

Let’s make this Christmas a community effort full of colour, creativity, and fun: We can’t wait to see your creations!

Our next workshop will be held on Sunday 7th December, 6.30 pm at The Joiners Arms, Victoria Street. Hooks, yarn, and all the expertise you need to get crafting will be provided, or bring along one of your current projects.

We look forward to meeting you!
