The EPEA is not a
'Resident's Association' per se, although it exists to further the
collective interests of the residents who live within the area covered by
the Estate's geography. The primary focus is upon the protection of
the environment and visual aspect of the Estate - not preserving it
without consideration for need for sympathetic development, but ensuring
that the visual amenity that 'belongs' to the collective population of the
Estate is not compromised. Second to that is the social activity calendar,
which provide a number of opportunities for residents to meet and
socialise with each other, so fostering a community spirit and, hopefully,
consideration for each other!
The EPEA also facilitates
the local Neighbourhood Watch group, and is complementary too, not in
competition with, the Eastcote Residents Association, which is concerned
with the greater environment of the whole of Eastcote. The EPEA also
supports and co-operates with the Old Eastcote Village Conservation
Society.
The Committee and Officers
(Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer), elected annually to their Honorary
positions at the Annual General Meeting of the EPEA - held each May, are
all volunteers and greatly appreciated! As are the network of Road
Stewards who help with the distribution of Newsletters and other
communications and the collection of subscriptions.
