Pogmoor Area Residents' Association

Pogmoor Area Residents' Association was formed on 14 June 2011, after a group of residents was successful in a campaign to stop a proposed planning application relating to land on West Road, Pogmoor.

They run occasional coffee mornings that are usually well-attended with around 20 to 50 people present. Every September, the Association holds an event to contribute to Macmillan's world's largest coffee morning, in which it raises hundreds of pounds for charity each time.

The Association undertakes environmental projects locally. The largest of these is the transformation of the field behind Cresswell Street into a park. Phase 1 of this was completed in 2012, when 34 mature trees were planted along the West Road boundary along with a wild flower meadow covering the mound that prevented vehicular access to the site. A bid is being submitted in November 2013 to fund phase 2,[ needs update ] which will provide an avenue of 60 mature trees along the Royston Lead boundary plus a community orchard between the avenue and the allotments.
