Ferndale Area Residents Association (FARA)

After a small hiatus in updating the website (although FARA has been chugging along nicely in the offline world), we’re happy to announce the resumption of regular-ish updates. Here’s a quick update of what’s been happening since 2020:

• The Pastures is Saved! Thanks to some excellent campaign work by FARA residents, the Council first paused their plans to redevelop the site and then cancelled them completely following some local awareness-raising about it’s availability as a bookable space. The Pastures now has events daily, including children’s sport, social events, and day center activities
• We had two street parties! One to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen and another to celebrate the coronation of the new King. A special thank you to The Stow Brothers for sponsoring both events. Photos to follow!
• We’re Bee Friendly. FARA residents volunteer to weed their streets so the council doesn’t need to spray it with weed killers, which is better for bees, biodiversity, and people generally. Thanks Street Weeders!
