PCRA OPERATIONAL CHANGES
- Details
Changes to the operation of the Peel Common Residents Association
Important notice of the intention to re-construct the formation of the PCRA.
- The current association will adopt the position of an inactive organisation.
- There will no longer be a membership yearly fee.
- The current PCRA will no longer carry out local assistance at the request of the managing agent. (it is regrettable but highly probable this will reduce the influence of the PCRA on management issues including service charge costs)
- The current PCRA will no longer be in a position to assist and provide advice to residents on Estate issues
- The mothballed PCRA will provide a smaller organisation consisting of a chairman plus a few trusted residents. It will not take on its previous active role
Position of the organisation: The PCRA is currently a limited company with nominated Directors. The change to its inactive status will be immediate with the sole intention of keeping a minimum presence on the Peel Common Estate. It will still exist but will not carry out the present-day association activities. Of note is that the current PCRA will no longer be a recognised residents association.
No Membership fee: Resident Members are advised to cancel any standing orders to the PCRA. The PCRA bank account will be under the control of a new Chairman and a trusted resident. Residents who require this year’s membership fee to be returned are advised to indicate this requirement using the provisional contact details given in the introduction of this communication. Debits from the fund will be paid at the discretion of the Chairman and its trusted residents.
Ending of assistance to the managing agent: The PCRA will terminate the help given to MLM for the work, finance and solutions of local problems. Gardening matters are under an MLM contract. The PCRA close association with the gardener to aid the highlighting of resident concerns will no longer occur.
The PCRA position: All PCRA advice and support to resident concerns will no longer be available. The e-mails, telephone calls and general assistance will no longer be provided and residents will be required to contact the MLM property manager directly with their enquiries.
The reformed PCRA: The new formation of the PCRA has an option to re-establish the associations original constitution, however this will only happen on a declared desire supported by a major swing of support from the Peel Common Residents Resident’s.

DON’T MAKE IT EASY FOR THEM
Hampshire County Council must undertake a consultation process to change the use of Brookers Lane Path (Muddy Lane) into a vehicle access road. The public are invited (by letter or e-mail) to object or make a comment. Hampshire County Council considers us locals as a distant outstation and has shown no regard for our situation or the subsequent affect of extra traffic through the Peel Common Estate. An objection may not be successful but it firmly indicates the major discontent of the local population. A show of apathy to the road situation simply invites more of the same.

Implications of changing Brookers lane road to through traffic
- Details
The decision to allow an appeal to build houses adjacent to the Peel Common Estate is unbelievably controversial and to allow access via a single route by opening up Brookers Lane road is a further stroke of madness. The local population “us” are fully aware of the implications but those who made the decision are basically irresponsible and short sighted. Apparently there is no going back however the foolishness of this action could be partly offset if our local authorities took an interest in what the consequences, particularly safety, could be and plan a way to alleviate such fears.
Two letters have been forwarded to Hampshire Highways and Gosport and Fareham Councilors, our local MP and the Inspectorate department.
Vist the Library and view the initial letter that was forwarded in September 2019 and view the recent letter forwarded in August 2021.
Acknowledgement of the recent letter is disappointing with only our local Hampshire councilor Stephen Philpott and surprisingly the Fareham council leader showing any interest.
Residents are encouraged to visit the Library and view the two letters and consider voicing your concerns to the authorities listed below.

It was controversial and built despite a mountain of opposition by local residents. The Electrical Converter is now complete and fully up and running. The enclosed detail that can be viewed in the Library outlines the success of the work carried out to overcome perceived noise, electromagnetic field and radio frequency interference. National Grid took on board the concerns by residents and arrived at a bespoke build that overcame many of the major technical anxieties. Thankfully National Grid has gone to great lengths to landscape the area surrounding the Electrical Converter reducing the impact of an unwanted eyesore imposed upon the Peel Common area.
