What is a Residents’ Association
A Residents’ Association is a local group, made up of local residents (tenants and/or homeowners) who represent the interests of everyone living in a particular area or building. They aim to work together to represent the views of all tenants and/or home owners in their area to help make their neighbourhood a better place to live. The Residents Association plays a large part in dealing with problems that people come up against, as well as organising things like social events. Residents’ Associations are set up for everyone to join. Membership is open to all local residents. Groups do not discriminate against members of the community because of race, age, sex, disability, income, religion or class.
Why have a Residents’ Association
Residents’ Associations can act like a pressure group. They meet regularly to talk about the problems in their community like:
- cleaning
- parking
- vandalism
- local crime
- promoting community spirit, tolerance and co-operation
- promoting residents’ rights
- inform all residents and represent the majority view of members
By becoming involved you can collectively:
- Tell the Council how you want the local area improved.
- Have a chance to choose what you want.
- Develop a better sense of community spirit.
- Enjoy social events with your neighbours
- Meet residents from other parts of the Borough
