PWRA - Working for Purley's future

The PWRA is run by Purley Residents and for Purley residents.

Please join up and take part. We are always looking to get more members and new, fresh ideas to help improve Purley and Woodcote. We want to improve the character and amenities that make Purley great, while helping to retain the unique character of our wonderful town.

Join the PWRA and protect Purley

If you live in Purley, you probably were attracted by its proximity to both town and country and excellent transport links. Add to that, Purley’s excellent schools, green areas and attractive housing, a combination of benefits which makes a package to appeal to all ages.

So why do you as a Purley resident need the Purley & Woodcote Resident’s Association (PWRA)?

Today, more than ever before, Purley and its amenities are under threat from over-development and unsympathetic central and local Government actions. For more than 80 years, the PWRA has been working on behalf of its residents to protect Purley from these harmful actions.

The PWRA exists to preserve Purley’s many amenities while encouraging appropriate and sympathetic development which will improve the life of those in the area.

The more PWRA members - the greater the PWRA’s influence.

Please Join PWRA now!
