Vision
To actively work across our Three Villages to improve and protect the viability and well-being of our neighbourhood as a healthy and enriching environment for all our residents.
Mission
As an active Residents’ Association, we will:
- continue to make a real difference by addressing issues of community concern and acting as the ‘voice’ for residents of the Three Villages.

- encourage a positive contribution to the economic, social and environmental welfare and vitality of the Three Villages in which we are all neighbours.
Purpose
In broad terms the fundamental purpose of our RA is to:
- represent residents’ views and concerns and act as a focus for consultation
- consider matters of local concern and importance
- 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
- stimulate debate about positive village life
- improve, protect and preserve the Three Villages, their character and the surrounding countryside
- act as a voice of the Three Villages on planning policy and planning applications

- support and donate to local charities and community groups
In summary 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.
