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. If you're interested, or would just like to find out more, please contact our chairman Phil Reed. All our contact details are on the Contact Us page.
