Kings Crescent TRA

Hello and welcome!!

In March 2019 a new residents group formed on Kings Crescent with a committee comprising of residents from both the new and older parts of the estate. We worked hard alongside the Hackney’s Resident Participation Team, supported by Source Partnership and became an official ‘Tenants & Residents Association’ (TRA) in September 2019.

Our current TRA committee of 15 residents still represents both parts of the estate and a comprises of a range of ages, occupations, skills etc.

Together we are aiming to create opportunities to re-build a sense of community on Kings Crescent and the surrouding neighbourhood, as well as supporting redidents with any issues they may be having.

Everyone living within Kings Crescent is automatically a member of the TRA, and the committee is elected by the members present at our TRA ‘Annual General Meeting’ (AGM) every year in September. You can find dates and details of all meetings in the events section of this site.
