HARRA
ABOUT
Harrow Road Residents Association (HARRA) has been formed by residents to improve the liveability of Harrow Road, Leytonstone. Our focus is on traffic concerns and the impact this has on the physical and mental health of residents and the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, alongside the overall quality of the residential environment and public space.
AIMS
•
COMMUNITY VOICE
HARRA exists for residents to work together in a community spirit with mutual respect, and is intended for all council tenants, owner-occupiers, leaseholders, private tenants and businesses.
•
IMPROVED ACCESSIBILITY
HARRA will campaign for the introduction of pedestrian and cyclist-focused improvements, as implemented across most areas of the borough and ward, such as Cann Hall Road and Grove Green Road.
•
PEDESTRIAN FIRST
With an action-plan of proposals, HARRA will campaign for positive improvements to the built environment, with the aim of establishing a resident and pedestrian-first look and feel for Harrow Road.
•
POSITIVE CHANGE
HARRA’s aim is to provide the immediate community with a stronger voice than is achievable by individuals acting alone. The association aims to provide a positive forum for all residents to collaborate, share concerns and propose solutions.
PROPOSALS
“How a street looks and feels has a measurable effect on traffic speeds and is one of the most effective means of promoting compliance with the speed limit. If motorists perceive that they have priority and that the street has been designed primarily for vehicular traffic then they will drive accordingly.”
Transport for London (TFL), 2019
