Representing residents and helping build a stronger Minerva Heights community.
Minerva Heights Residents’ Association (MHRA) is run by residents, for residents.
We’re here to give our community a stronger collective voice, represent residents on issues affecting Minerva Heights and improve communication with the organisations involved in managing and developing the estate. We work constructively with them, while asking difficult questions and challenging decisions where needed.
MHRA is also about helping to build a connected, welcoming community as Minerva Heights grows. That includes working with organisations such as Chichester Community Development Trust (CCDT), supporting the development of community facilities and exploring opportunities for events and activities that bring neighbours together.
We’re an independent, volunteer-led association. We’re not part of Remus, Fexco, Vistry, Miller Homes, Linden Homes, Bovis Homes or any other organisation involved in developing or managing Minerva Heights.
Ultimately, we want residents to have a say in what happens here and help make Minerva Heights a community we’re proud to be part of—and proud to call HOME.
Seeking clearer answers on estate charges, maintenance, TP1 obligations and who is responsible for what, while pushing for better communication and accountability.
Representing residents’ concerns about parking, speeding, traffic and highways issues, and pressing for a safer neighbourhood.
Working towards well-maintained green spaces and shared public areas, with clearer information about their management and future care.
Seeking answers and keeping residents informed about ongoing development, local amenities and plans for community facilities as Minerva Heights grows.
Exploring opportunities for events and activities that bring neighbours together, including working with Chichester Community Development Trust (CCDT).
Bringing residents’ views together and raising them with managing agents, developers, local councils and other organisations—asking questions, challenging decisions where needed and following up on responses.
