    HIRA AIMS & OBJECTIVES

    • To represent residents in the various forums affecting life on the Island and inform them of any outcome.

    • To strive to improve the quality of life for Hayling Islanders and to be responsive to the needs and wishes of residents.

    • To defend the interests of residents as far as is possible within the resources available, by monitoring proposed planning changes and recommending suitable modifications.

    • To work and liaise with the County Council, the Borough Council, Hayling Councilors and other outside organisations and authorities relevant to the well-being of residents.

    • To inform and involve residents by holding public meetings at which local issues can be reviewed and discussed and to arrange lectures and addresses.

    • To set up links with other Hayling Island organisations, particularly those with recreational and charitable objectives.

    • To increase membership. HIRA must have a sufficient membership base for its views to be taken seriously in negotiations and to provide a convincing mandate for its activities. All members should strive to increase membership by actively encouraging other Islanders to join the Association. The membership base should reflect the population of the Island and so have members of all socio-economic and age groupings.

    • To be financially viable. Whilst non profit making, the Association must have the resources to satisfy unexpected calls upon its reserves and also to add to the community's amenities, when suitable projects arise.

    If you would like to join the Hayling Island Residents' Association please contact the Secretary: Carole Evans – 023 9246-7885. Annual subscription costs just £4 per household, with £15 for 5 years or £25 for life options.
