JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Annual General Meeting 2026
Jericho Wharf – The Way Forward.
The City Council has triggered the compulsory purchase order (CPO) process for the long‑neglected Jericho Wharf site where we need to build a new community centre At the AGM, Trustees of the Jericho Wharf Trust — the group that has driven the CPO campaign — will set out the actions needed to deliver a community‑led vision for this vital piece of Jericho’s future.
At AGM we will also report on the activities in 2025 and elect the officers and committee for the year ahead. Each year, three committee members step down, though can be re-elected. If you would like to join the committee, you can put yourself forward by following this link.
Who owns the houses?
In Jericho in 2011, only 21% of households were owner occupiers. Instead, many more people rented their homes: 58% from private landlords and 20% from ‘social’ landlords, mostly the City Council.
What St Barnabas Church cost to build?
Thomas Combe the Superintendent of OUP and it was he who commissioned and paid for the construction of the church in 1869 at a cost of £6,492. All the interior fittings were provided for about £900. The campanile was erected in 1872 for £800.
