Our aim is to help residents in West Coulsdon, and make Coulsdon a great place to live.
We work in coordination with our sister RAs, as well as other local groups which share common interests, such as Friends of Rickman Hill Park.
To achieve our aims we need more general members as well as volunteers to join or assist the Committee.
We are stronger together.

Help spread the Word!
We only have around 300 members - so there is 'room for improvement'!
We desperately need new road stewards, to get to know all of their neighbours, and to encourage them to sign up and join CWRA, whilst thrusting a newsletter at them!
We also need more members and committee members... and, if you would like to help without the formality of being on the committee, please let us know.
Any ideas on how to achieve this, or assistance in delivering newsletters, would be most welcome.
Planning
Sadly, the Council's planning department is in disarray: no attempt is made to verify that the building matches the plans that were submitted.
There is effectively no enforcement being undertaken at all.
If you are affected by nearby developments which aren't following the approved plans (or don't have permission at all), then I suggest writing to Jason Perry directly.
For details of recent planning decisions that CWRA has been asked to object to, and for advice on how to write objections,
including the new advice on wording ecology-based objections
see the Planning page here.
