This is the CTRAA
The aim
of The Cherry Trees Residents’ Amenities Association
is to improve our neighbourhood and to function as our
representative towards the Council and other authorities.
The
association started in 1968, at a time when Palace Gardens
Terrace and Vicarage Gate handled all the southbound
traffic (Church Street was only for the northbound
traffic), when many houses were rather run down, and when
we had problems with curb-crawling (yes, we had ladies of
the night living here). Since then the CTRAA has managed to
turn our area into a quiet oasis between Notting Hill and
Kensington High Street (except for the Church Street
traffic, of course).
Besides working on improving the area, the CTRAA also
functions as a get-together for the neighbours. Each year
we have two-three garden parties in the spring and summer,
a combined AGM and drinks party in November, and most years
a children's party as well.
The CTRAA has currently some 500 members. Membership is
open to all residents living in Palace Gardens Terrace,
Strathmore Gardens, Berkeley Gardens, Brunswick Gardens,
Inverness Gardens, Vicarage Gardens, Vicarage Gate,
Kensington Mall, and on the eastern side of Kensington
Church Street between Kensington Mall and Vicarage Gate.
The membership fee is £6 for one year or £15 for three
years.
