Welcome to the website of the Merton Park Ward Residents’ Association (MPWRA).

Come along to one of our popular monthly meetings, and hear from your local ward Councillor’s as well as having the opportunity to ask questions. Sign up to our email alerts, and take a look at FORUM the bi-annual newsletter of Merton Park Ward Residents’ Association. Finally of course, why not show your support and become a member of MPWRA?  

A message from our Councillors…

Thank you!
To all those of you who lent a hand with our campaign and to all the
residents who put their faith in the Independent Residents for another
4 years.

It is reassuring that so many of you turned out to vote, with one of the
highest turnouts in the Borough and the highest % of the vote of any
councillors. This despite the distractions of new ideas and new
politics obvious across the rest of the country.

It is also a responsibility for us to justify your confidence. The
MPWRA has now had councillors in Merton Park for over 36 years.
We have a pretty good idea of how things work, and we know the
standards you expect. We shall do our best to meet those standards.

However, please remember that we councillors, the Committee and
the supporters are just residents, just neighbours. Despite the
impression of permanence created by years of service by so many,
we remain a volunteer organization completely without external
funding or support. We only exist for the residents and we only exist
with the support of the residents.

We need moral and financial support and assistance, we need new
ideas and new enthusiasm, and we need a new generation to help
maintain this special oasis called Merton Park. Please contact one of
us if you think you can contribute in any way.

Once again – thank you! And here’s to four more years!
