Copers Cope Area Residents’ Association
About us
Copers Cope Area Residents’ Association (CCARA) is Beckenham’s largest residents association, founded in 1935 to protect and promote the interests of residents in matters of local concern. We have approximately 1,450 members and affiliates, mostly living in the Beckenham Town and Copers Cope ward, or neighbouring wards. CCARA is well-connected within the local community: we frequently monitor and make submissions on planning and licensing applications, advocate for improvements to transport services or public spaces, and are involved in the ward’s Safer Neighbourhood Panel, Beckenham’s Town Centre Team, and Bromley Environment Network.
“CCARA is excited to be involved in the Breathe London Community Programme. The Breathe London sensor will produce robust data on air quality in Beckenham, supporting us to improve public awareness and understanding about air quality issues.”
