The Lakes Estate is a designated Conservation Area (CA), selected because of its well-preserved, characterful Edwardian properties. The area includes Alderman’s Hill, Fox Lane, Broomfield Avenue and Old Park, Conway, Ulleswater, Derwent, Lakeside, Harlech and Grovelands Roads. Conservation Areas are valued because they are attractive, unique and their character is protected from damaging development
The Friends of Lakes Estate do important work promoting the conservation area, educating residents and helping the council ensure that damaging changes aren’t made to properties. They also work to protect trees and other aspects of the built environment (such as shop fronts and pavements)
The Friends have had a willing group of volunteers but now need more people to join and bring fresh energy and ideas to enhance and protect the CA.
