About Us

Whitley Green Residents group was founded in 1994, by a group of residents who wanted to do an extra something for the area they live in. We work hard on all environmental issues, street lighting, roads and paths, abandoned vehicles, or anything that makes our estate a nicer place to live in. we work for all, tenants and home owners alike.
The object of the association is to promote the interest of all, to promote social activities and to be a non-political group.

We cover Rowdell Drive, Exwick Square, Hawkchurch Road, Holberton Road, Wentworth Avenue and Foxhays Road.
Whitley Wood Road No's (62- 152). Hartland Road (165-251) Northumberland Avenue (433-563)
and Alandale Close. To be a member, you must be 18 yrs of age or over.


History

Our estate was built in the late 1940's. It has seen many changes, the main one was in 1997 when Whitley Green worked on project "Capital Challenge" which was an upgrade of council homes in this area. Money came via the council and Central Government, and we worked to achieve this, years earlier than planned. Now with new windows, doors, guttering, central heating, modern fittings and outside cladding, this makes the home you have today a warmer and cosier place to live. We are proud to have been instrumental in this programme.

Trees

For many years now we have been adding trees to Foxhays Road Green, Careen our secretary obtained a good size lottery grant to purchase another 12 trees.
The green is a lovely large patch of land in the middle Whitley, and we want to keep it free from any building, so by adding trees we are helping the environment, and keeping this green space for our children to use, and the people of our estate to enjoy.(Hawthorn, Cherry, Willow, Silver Birch and Elder have been planted)


Cherry Elder Silver Birch Hawthorn Willow

Seasonal bulbs were planted all around the green areas on the estate, and after such a snowy period in 2010, when they came into bloom they were spectacular, we hope they will continue to flower each year.
More trees are being planted annually on the green areas across our estate.
