Drysdale and District Residents Association

Formed over forty years ago and run by a committee of volunteers, DADRA aims to connect with residents of the 750+ homes in our area.

As well as Drysdale Avenue, streets covered by DADRA include Hawkwood Crescent, Hawkdene, Epping Way, Mark Avenue, Margaret Avenue, South Avenue, Amesbury Drive, Epping Glade, Dells Close, Markfield Gardens, Harford Road, Harford Close and Holly Drive. Also nearby stretches of Sewardstone Road and Kings Head Hill.

WHAT WE DO

We liaise with ward councillors and local service providers and share local news and information about what’s going on in the area. Our annual AGM, quarterly newsletter, website, Facebook and Instagram page mean there are plenty of ways to keep in touch and up to date with our activities.

During the year DADRA arranges various events and activities which are open to all local residents. These include fortnightly Friday Socials at St Francis Hall (Scout Hall) and regular walks in the forest. Also litter picks and special events.
