Who we are

More than an area — a community

The Lower Bloomfield Residents Association exists to make our neighbourhood an even better place to call home. We're volunteer-run, warmly inclusive, and firmly convinced that good things happen when neighbours know each other.

Community Composition

At our core is a group of residents who believe passionately in the uniqueness of lower Bloomfield Road. We aim to bring together every member of our community, however far afield, to celebrate a beautifully special place.

Purpose

The LBRA is a community driven to represent all of our diverse views and interests.

Democratic Structure

The core group consists of a chair, treasurer, secretary and various community ambassadors.

Truly Inclusive

A core belief of the LBRA is true inclusivity. All are welcome, free of charge.

What we do

We're busy — in the best way

From working with the Council on road safety to hosting impromptu drinks parties, the LBRA covers a remarkable amount of ground.

Fostering Community Spirit

Seasonal get-togethers
Coffee mornings with a World Cafe focus
Combatting social isolation for the elderly and vulnerable
Community Conversations: Our neighbourhood ambassadors offer simple informal opportunities for people to connect around things that matter from SEND (e.g. EHCPs) through to financial literacy; or simply a catch up over a cuppa. These are not services or formal sessions — just people supporting people safely and respectfully.
Supporting residents in times of need

Community Improvement

We believe a collective voice is the route to community cohesion — from looking after our local environment, to supporting and leading local safety initiatives.

Representation and Advocacy

We believe in listening to all our residents and presenting a united voice to councils, housing associations and police. We promote grass-roots community mindedness.

Communication and Information Sharing

Keeping residents informed through multi-media channels: newsletters, surveys, social media, WhatsApp, world cafes
Holding regular meetings (both AGM and committee) to provide transparency and to receive feedback

Bloomfield Road/Wellsway TRO Update

The 'consultation' on TRO 26-006 is now closed. We are all now waiting for BANES decision. Once the decision has been announced we will reconvene and together plan next steps.
