The Waterways Residents Association (WRA)
represents all 500+ households who live in the
neighbourhood, whether owner occupiers, tenants or
Greensquare shared owners. The Association formed
a Community Interest Company (CIC) specifically to
lease and manage the day-to-day operation of the
Community room - now also known as Room 51.
The WRA CIC also publishes regular Waterways
newsletters, maintains the
website at www.thewaterways.co.uk and organises
several community
events each year. All members are volunteers.
If you share our commitment to the community and
could help us improve or expand our activities we
would love to hear from you.
We meet regularly to discuss issues raised by local residents and to liaise with the Waterways Management Company and Oxford City Council over matters of common concern. Current hot topics include: community facilities and public art on the development, parking restrictions on Frenchay Road and the provision of a notice board.
