Welcome to our website,
which we hope you find informative & helpful. The HXRA consists of Elm
Park, Hacton, Hylands and St. Andrews Wards. We are a non party
political association which was formed in 1933 to assist local residents
who needed our help, and our members come from all walks of life and
beliefs.
We believe in local affairs being run by local people, not
national parties. The HXRA supports Resident Association Councillors
of which, at this time in the HXRA area, we have five. We believe in
democracy, freedom, independent representation on our local council, and
the right to live our lives in peace and dignity.

URGENT - GAS MAIN
WORKS |
We have been informed (22 Sept) that the National Grid is undertaking gas mains replacement works at the junction of Elm Park Avenue and Upper Rainham Road. Part of the Upper Rainham Road carriageway is closed, with traffic being controlled by 3-way traffic lights. During peak times these lights will be replaced by a manual Stop/Go board to help alleviate lengthy queues.
In addition, resurfacing works are also taking place in Upper Rainham Road at Roneo Corner.
These works will last approximately three weeks.

URGENT - PROPOSED PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY CHANGES |
These proposals mean some changes to Havering, and in particular for us

Dagenham to make a new consituency called Dagenham North.
The Boundary Commission is undertaking a consultation exercise which runs to 5 December, and it is very important that residents make their views on the proposals. To take part, click the link below:
