The Esher Residents Association is a non-party political organisation whose main concerns and activities are confined to the Esher Ward and matters affecting Esher, Lower Green and Hersham Riverside - a community of over 3,000 households. We put up non-party-aligned ERA candidates for election to Elmbridge Borough Council. We firmly believe that party politics, of any colour, do not belong in loca
l government at borough level. We have this in common with similar associations in Hersham, Hinchley Wood, Molesey, St George's Hill, Thames Ditton & Weston Green and Walton-on-Thames, all of whom are represented by independent Elmbridge Councillors. Our objectives are to:
Foster a community spirit in Esher, especially important in a place with a high turnover of residents;
Conserve and improve the way of life in Esher;
Provide a forceful public vote on matters affecting residents;
Take action with and on behalf of individuals who need help on local authority matters; Return representatives to Elmbridge Borough Council.
