Our aim is to actively promote the maintenance and improvement of the amenities of West Wickham. Our activities cover every aspect of local life, such as planning, street cleaning, social services, crime and accident prevention, public transport and the roads, the environment and anything else that concerns residents.

We act as a pressure group and make representations to the Council, Government, transport operators and many other bodies involved in providing services for our town. Over the years the Association has been recognised as an influential and responsible body representing residents' interest. We are non-political and work closely with our ward councillors, Member of Parliament and Greater London Assembly representative.

We also organise a small number of social events every year, so that residents have an opportunity to get to know each other!  We are also very actively involved in the annual Christmas Shopping Evening organised with the help of local businesses.

We have a Committee of 20 volunteers whose appointment is ratified at our Annual General Meeting. The Committee meets every month and decides on specific actions to deal with residents' concerns and promote their common interests. Much of the detailed work is done by a number of specialist sub-committees (planning, transport, crime prevention etc.) which investigate the issues and make recommendations for action to the Committee.

We keep in touch with our membership primarily through the 100 Road Stewards, who distribute our Newsletter four times a year and collect the annual subscription which is currently £1.
