Welcome

The Byfleet, West Byfleet & Pyrford Residents’ Association (the ‘RA’) is a local community group open to residents (homeowners and tenants) and businesses operating in the three villages. We attempt to represent the interests of everyone living in our area and/or contributing to the local economy. We strive to ensure that the three villages remain attractive, prosperous, environmentally sustainable, safe and socially welcoming places in which to live.

The RA was formed in 1928 and has been run by volunteers continuously since then – more than 90 years of dedicated service to the residents of our villages. Current membership represents around 30% of all households (around 2,400 homes).

Key activities for the RA include:

   • Represent residents’ views and concerns and act as a focus for consultation
   • Build relationships with the member of parliament; borough and county councillors;
     council officers; and other agencies to improve the area in which we live
   • Have a consultative role when there are proposals to make changes in the area
   • Act as a voice of the Three Villages on planning policy and planning applications
   • Work with the Neighbourhood Forums and provide financial support to them
   • Support and donate to local charities and community groups

An active Residents’ Association can make a real difference by addressing issues of community concern and acting as the collective ‘voice’ for residents of the Three Villages.
