Winchmore Hill Residents' Association
About us
The Winchmore Hill Residents' Association covers an area bounded by Green Dragon Lane, Firs Lane, Hedge Lane, Bourne Hill, Oakwood Park and incorporates Winchmore Hill Ward and part of Grange, Bush Hill, Palmers Green and Southgate Wards.
Current membership is about 400.
The Association is administered by a Committee, each member having a specific responsibility and this meets once a month, together with our Ward Councillors.
The Committee works closely with neighbouring Resident’s Associations as sometimes issues are “cross border”, and with Southgate & District Civic Trust. We are affiliated to FERAA (Federation of Enfield Residents and Allied Associations). We attend the Local Community Forums and have representation on the Police Consultative Committee.
Information is disseminated to our members through a Newsletter issued twice a year and to the public through our Notice Board on The Green and commercial publications like the N21 Directory.
We have a members meeting twice a year, in April/May (AGM) and November and these are held at the Waterhouse Hall, United Reformed Church, at the top of Compton Road by the railway bridge.
At these meetings the members are advised on immediate past and current issues and occasionally we invite a speaker.
Recently we have heard about bus services and routing, community policing, Enfield in Bloom, North London Hospice plans for expansion at The Laurels in Barrowell Green. These are also intended to be social occasions with feed back from our members.
See our Meetings page for details.
The Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green Ward Councillors are again represented so they can be questioned by anybody at the meeting and our M.P. is usually there. These discussions are often quite lively!
