Welcome to the Hanger Hill Garden Estate and its residents association
The Association works for all residents of the Estate, whether living in the houses or flats; it is run entirely by volunteers and everyone who lives here is welcome to participate in its work.
Our 2025 Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday March 27th at Holy Family School on Vale Lane. About 50 residents attended - links to the agenda, nominations and supporting papers are available here on this website and have been updated with the main decisions taken. Minutes will be posted in due course. You can download our super Winter newsletter by clicking here.
Hanger Hill Garden Estate Residents Association (HHGERA) works for everyone who lives or owns property on our Estate. We have two distinct roles - as a community group for everyone who lives here, organising social events and liaising with Ealing Council and other local groups; and as manager of the communally-owned gardens (other than those surrounding the flats), the service roads behind houses, boundaries, fences and trees, and general security issues. We also monitor and respond to planning matters affecting the Estate.
Note that the Association does not manage the blocks of flats on the Estate, which have their own management company (click here for information).
Follow the links on the left for more about the Estate, Association news and useful links to other sites. If you have time, do read the fascinating and often moving history of the Estate -- from the early days when Hanger Hill was open countryside, to successive battles over development plans for the surrounding area.
In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy the website - and our Twitter/X feed @hhgeranews (which can be seen on the HHGE news page) and would welcome any feedback.
What's new
Annual General Meeting: The residents association and Houses Management Board AGMs will be held on March 27th 2025 at Holy Family School on Vale Lane. Click here for minutes of last year's meeting. The AGM is when the people who run the Residents Association are elected. You can also hear about the Estate and ask questions. House owners also elect the Houses Management Board, which looks after the houses' shared gardens and service roads. (The flats on the Estate have their own different management company and service charge.) Click here to send any suggestions for the agenda or if you'd be interested in helping to run the Association. Links to the agenda and supporting papers are included in the 2025 AGM page on this website.
Rose Garden restoration project: Our gardeners have been making necessary repairs and improvements to the Rose Garden (at the top of Princes Gardens) but it still needs a lot of work. With the 100-year anniversary of the Estate coming soon, we’d like to get the garden looking truly wonderful. A working group has been set up to look at the options, which range from simply replacing the current rose bushes and improving the lawn to something much more ambitious. We’ll carry out a full consultation following the 2025 AGM. But in the meantime we'd love to hear from all Estate residents - especially those overlooking the area - about how best to use this shared resource. Contact us at mail@hhgera.com to share your thoughts and to get involved.
"Pressure" - filming on our Estate: Working Title chose our Estate as the location for a key scene in a feature film called "Pressure" about the 1944 D-Day landings in the Second World War. Filming day was September 9th, when a massive crew descended to shoot inside a house near the start of the Princes Gardens loop and in the street outside. HHGERA manages the gated service roads on behalf of residents and gave permission for the production company to use part of the area behind Princes Gardens for two weeks. We also worked closely with them to minimise disruption from what was quite an operation with lights, cameras, vintage cars, generators, toilets, a wind machine and goodness knows what other technical vehicles. A lot of thought went into ensuring everyone knew what was going on and minimising the disruption - many people turned out to watch on the day and some were lucky enough to get a glimpse of the film's stars. There's more information on the Filming 2024 page of this website and we will be bringing proposals to the 2025 Annual General Meeting on using the Estate for future location work, as well as how to spend the unexpected financial windfall "Pressure" has given us.

We always welcome contributions so do contact us via mail@hhgera.com if you have an idea for an interesting story or would like to help produce future editions.
Houses service charge: The Houses Management Board AGM approved an unchanged rate of £70 a house for 2025. Please pay promptly, preferably online, and provide an email address if you would prefer to be contacted by email in future. You can email invoices@hhgera.com if you have any questions about the service charge and/or don't know how to pay.
Support still available: The wonderful network of volunteers set up at the height of the Covid pandemic is still there to help out if you need it. If you do need some help, if you would like to join in this community effort or if you are concerned about someone living on the Estate please email support@hhgera.com .
Rubbish, recycling and litter: Please be considerate to your neighbours by NEVER parking on service roads, as this blocks the recycling lorries; ONLY putting rubbish into the appropriate bin; picking up any litter you see, and reporting missed collections via the Ealing Council website.
Skip permits: You need a permit to put a skip on any of the service roads that belong to the houses part of the Estate - click here to download the form.
Volunteers needed: Would you like to contribute to our community by joining the volunteers who work to maintain our lovely Estate? It needn't take up much of your time and is a great way to get to know your neighbours. Email volunteer@hhgera.com to find out more.
