HyPER (Hyde Park Estate Residents)
About us
HyPER works with all residents to create a sense of community in the Hyde Park Estate, based on the principles of respect, inclusivity and good citizenship. Membership is free and open to all residents of the Estate. We co-ordinate our activities with Westminster Council, the Paddington Neighbourhood Forum, Business Improvement Districts including local businesses and the Church Commissioners, in order to make our neighbourhood a cleaner, greener, healthier and safer place. We will work to reduce through-traffic, create more pedestrian spaces such as piazzas, and enrich the neighbourhood with family-friendly events.
“It’s a great honour and a tribute to HyPER’s work in and for our community that we have been selected by such a prestigious research group to be part of this important trial. We have championed green initiatives at the local level to improve air quality and environmental health on the Hyde Park Estate. On behalf of our members, we will continue to engage stakeholders to move forward with a progressive green agenda. There has been a highly emotional and divisive debate locally about measures to reduce rat-running and air pollution, while improving road safety. This new research tool will sharpen that debate moving forward ”
