To preserve the character of the area
To provide social activities for neighbours
In addition to this, we also collaborate with Barnet Council, Local Councillors and the Local MP with regards to highways (potholes, yellow lines, CPZs, etc), prevention of crime and anti-social behaviour, large developments in the surrounding area, local amenities and infrastructure and other local issues that affect Residents.
We have over 300 members.
The West Finchley Residents' Association ("WFRA") covers the area shown on the map, which is a charming residential area characterised by semi-detached and detached homes with an abundance of green space and tree lined streets. This peaceful environment with predominantly 3 to 4 bedroom homes, makes it ideal for families.
The area covers the houses bounded by Finchley Way, Brent Way, Chesterfield Road, Westbury Avenue, Argyle Road (between Westbury Avenue and Courthouse Road), Courthouse Road, Courthouse Gardens, Nether Street (between West Finchley Underground and Finchley Way), including Howcroft Crescent and Huntly Drive.
This area is also covered by the West Finchley Neighbourhood Plan 2020-2035 that was approved in 2021. Read it here

Why are Residents' Associations important?
they are great way to build up community and stronger neighbourhoods
they give people a united voice; representing the views of local people in local issues
local councils take notice of them, recognising their influence
it is a good way to keep abreast of local news and issues and to circulate information quickly
All of our activities are powered by volunteers, and we’re always on the lookout for new people to help drive the Residents' Association forward. Whether you're interested in organising events, reviewing planning applications, writing a newsletter, taking minutes, maintaining our website, or driving a new initiative forward, we’d love to hear from you!
