Curzon Park Residents' Association

On Thursday 22 December we held our annual Carols on The Green event.

It was a memorable evening with an excellent turnout, a friendly feel, and good weather.

Geoff did a brilliant job leading us through the carols with our PA system in support. (We didn’t manage to get a brass band this year – hopefully we will have one next year).

The mince pies, mulled wine and hot chocolate helped us to keep warm and gave us plenty of energy to hit the high notes.

You may be aware that Curzon House (on Curzon Street in Saltney) is to be refurbished to provide accommodation for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

A briefing session was held last week (12 December) and we have since been provided with a helpful set of Frequently Asked Questions by Cheshire West and Chester Council.

All residents can give feedback to the following e:mail address:

The set of FAQs can be found here:

A public meeting will be set up shortly by our local councillors.

Last Thursday we had a very successful Italian meal with wonderful food, a quiz, a raffle and some music.

No Italian meal would be complete without some opera and Curzon Park resident Imogen sang two arias for us accompanied by Chester-based pianist John Gough.

We raised £213 raised for the charity SHARE: Supporting Homelessness, Assisting Refugees Everywhere.

Thank you so much to everyone who attended this memorable evening.

Here is an extract of Imogen singing Voice Che Sapete from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro.

CPRA are delighted to host an Italian-themed meal on the 8 December at Chester Golf Club.

The event will start at 7pm with dinner to start at 7:30pm. Last orders will be at 10:45pm and the event will wrap up at 11pm.

On 15 September the council held a residents meeting for the Handbridge Park ward and CPRA were invited.

The meeting covered a range of topics several of which are relevant to us in Curzon Park. As you’ll know we’ve had several meeting with the council about highways issues and there will be an update on that in the next newsletter which will be out in November.

The detailed notes of the meeting are attached here.
