About Stamford & Horton Wards
THE AREA Stamford Ward is on the South West side of Epsom and is one of the largest wards in the Borough of Epsom & Ewell - currently containing almost 3,000 households, but also a number of parks and open spaces available to its residents. The area has a long and interesting history and the Residents Association is determined to ensure that it continues to be a well maintained and pleasant place in which to live and work.
THE RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION The Stamford and Horton Ward are one of thirteen wards in the Borough of Epsom & Ewell. They support the residents if they feel they need advice on issues that they are trying to resolve with, for example, the Borough Council, Surrey County Council and the facilities they provide, the utility companies, or environmental officers. This can only be done properly and effectively if you tell us your issues and concerns.
The Residents' Associations
HOW THE RA's WORK Each RA functions as a voluntary and independent unincorporated association. Any resident can become a member for a small subscription (see Join SHoRA, for example) without regard to his/her political views. In some parts of the Borough more than 80% of households are members oftheir local R.A., receive its magazine or newsletter, and are able to attend meetings. The chief officers of the RA are, typically, a chairman, secretary and treasurer who run the committee. Other committee members take on roles such as editor for the magazine or newsletter, membership secretary, and social media supervisor, depending on how the RA's work is divided up. The Committees usually meet bi-monthly, with an Annual General Meeting to which all residents of the Wards who have subscribed as members are invited. At such meetings officers and the committee will be elected. Other general meetings to which RA members are invited are held if any particular issue requires such an arrangement.
As well as its committee an RA will have local representatives, perhaps one for each road in its area. These road or zone representatives are responsible for keeping their ear to the ground and feeding through the views or concerns of their local residents, as well as collecting subscriptions and delivering newsletters. Both borough and county RA councillors will attend RA committee and general meetings to enable council policy and actions to be explained, questioned and influenced. It is this frequent interchange that distinguishes the workings of an RA and its councillors from party-political councillors, where only the party faithful can attend meetings and influence their councillors, and where their councillors may be whipped to toe the party line and ignore the views of their electors.
