COPERS Cope Residents’ Association is set to make a revival after almost a year out in the cold.

The residents’ association, established in 1936, will host its first public meeting in a year on March 25 at Bromley Road Infant School, St George's Road in Beckenham.

Chairman Maurice Hudson said: “This will be our formal annual general meeting, giving us a chance to look at what has happened and why, and find more people who are willing to devote a little bit of their time or skills to help protect or improve our quality of life here.

“A community of our size really needs an active Residents Association and now we aim to get things moving again.”

Items on the agenda include the Copers Cope controlled parking zone and similar schemes for Beckenham Place Park and Crystal Palace Park.

The meeting starts at 8pm.
