East Coulsdon Residents’ Association

General information

ECRA stands for the East Coulsdon Residents’ Association who represent the interests of the residents within the East Coulsdon Ward within the London Borough of Croydon. The Committee, who are all volunteers, try to protect the area from over or inappropriate development. Through our Councillors or through direct action other matters of concern, such as parking or trees, rubbish and re-cycling collections and the like are raised with the Council.

We represent residents’ views at Neighbourhood Partnership and Neighbourhood Partnership Steering Group Meetings and encourage as many of ECRA residents to attend and become involved by direct action. We also represent those interests to wider bodies such as Transport for London (TfL), English Partnership, Coulsdon Forum, road safety, Green Belt and Environmental Sustainability, Policing and Neighbourhood Watch / Police Ward Panel and we keep an eye on all of the current planning applications in the area, objecting or supporting where appropriate or necessary, including supporting Old Coulsdon Residents’ Association (OCRA), Coulsdon West Residents’ Association, Hartley & District Residents' Association (HADRA) and other Residents’ Association in the area if required or necessary.
