A Quick Guide to the Long Leys Residents Association (LLRA)

An overview, by Gary Stimson

The LLRA is a legally recognised entity, representing interests of local residents. Anyone living in the area is welcome to become an active part of the LLRA, either in an elected or in a co-opted position, particularly if they have specific issues they wish to champion and see addressed. Get in contact with one of the committee members for further details.

Area covered by LLRA

    • Geographically constrained A57 to Yarborough Road
      • And all side roads – Albion, Mitchell, Oakleigh
    • Conduit between Councils / organisations and residents
    • Decent network of contacts
    • And experience of “how things work”
  • LLRA is not a parish council – no special powers
    • Always advises (and helps) individuals to represent their views on planning, etc.
    • LLRA does not really have a ‘louder voice’ than individuals
  • LLRA is not (allowed to be) political in any way
  • LLRA is a member of Carholme Community Forum
    • Local issues including
      • Highways / traffic / parking
      • Street cleaning / Refuse / Antisocial behaviour
      • Policing (local priorities)
      • Housing and planning
      • Minutes are published here
  • LLRA is a member of Commons Advisory Panel
    • We get a say in what happens to the Commons
    • Emma Olivier-Townrow is the current LLRA representative
    • Minutes are published here
  • Origins
    • LLRA mainly came in to existence to keep the St Georges Park developers ‘honest’
    • Addressed a selection of ‘settling in’ issues with varying degrees of success
  • It’s worth knowing that:
    • The LLRA Committee are all normal people with plenty to occupy their days
    • No empire building on the committee, and it’s not anyone’s ‘baby’
    • Anyone is welcome to join and make LLRA more active if desired
  • In the meantime
    • LLRA existence is recognised by local authorities, and can be strengthened if/when required
    • We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact we live in a nice area
    • Not having issues to complain about isn’t a bad thing!
