Dorset Road Infants’ School Site

The school has formally merged with Castlecombe and  become Elmstead Wood School.

Dorset Road Infants’ School site is currently now on sale on the open market by Bromley Council with benefits going to the Spring Partnership Trust.

It is likely that proceeds from the site will be properly invested at Castlecombe, and we are hoping/expecting to have a significant input to any planned development of the site.

Library AED

The first is installed outside the library, and the second is now installed outside Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic church hall.

The third is installed at the changing rooms on Foxes Field.

About the Association

The Mottingham Residents’ Association was formed in 1932 as the “Mottingham Residents and Ratepayers’ Association”; a first meeting attracting 30 residents took place in the old wooden hall at the rear of the “Prince of Wales” public house.  Here Jim Fuller, Mr Thomas Ramsbottom (“Mr Mottingham”) and Mr Reginald Pike explained their purpose, which was to improve life in the village, campaigning for street lighting and improved bus services whilst aiming to conserve the rural charm of the area.

Mottingham Residents’ Association is still a key campaigner to protect the interests of Mottingham’s Residents and promotes its activities through the “Mottingham News” magazine. Councillors for the Mottingham and Chislehurst North Ward (Bromley) and those for Mottingham, Coldharbour and New Eltham Ward (Greenwich) attend committee meetings and contribute.

Committee meetings are held every two months in the Methodist Church Hall, and the Annual General Meeting is held in April in the Main Church Hall, behind St.Andrews Church, 233 Court Road.
