The Mapperley Park Residents’ Association (MPRA) exists to promote the interests of members and other residents of Mapperley Park. It is proactive in raising specific issues of concern to residents in particular housing developments, public nuisance and crime and tree maintenance with Local Authority representatives and officials. It also seeks to promote community well being in a whole variety of ways which includes both formal e.g. Newsletters and informal e.g. Facebook.
“‘The Edwardians, in particular, were highly sophisticated builders of new suburbs.
They had perfected the art of pattern book development, and pioneered spacious, bright and well designed terraced cottages, houses and villas…
It’s little wonder that so many of these neighbourhoods have weathered so well….
They are very often high quality, liveable environments and retained what we often call today, a human scale.”
