Rectory Road Residents Association
About us
RERA (Rectory Road N16 Residents Association) got together in early 2020 to campaign against AirPollution. We represents a community that includes both residents and families with kids at LindenChildren’S Centre.
Rectory Road is a residential road, cut through by the A10, including:
●The Common at the top: a green space, which during lockdown/covid has become really important to manypeople as a park, exercise space and a place to meet friends.
●A severed and densely populated residential street with a mixture of social and privately ownedhouses / flats and a large Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic community, with many elderlies, vulnerableand low income individuals in bedsits and flats.
●Linden Children’s Centre, a daycare and nursery, with kids 0-5 years old, with a playground adjacent totheroad, with lack of green infrastructure, safe walking and crossing for the kids or their parents across the A10.
Our aim
We feel that our community has been excluded by many Air Quality interventions.
●As a large BAME community, we feel we have been ignored; our asks haven’t been met and we are struggling to have any serious commitment and action to tackle toxic Air Pollution.
●We hope to join the Breathe London Programme, as this will empower our community, by allowing us to monitor the Air Quality on the road where their families and kids live, play and work. We believe that joining the Breathe London programme can really make a difference and support our campaign for a cleaner, healthier, grener road.
