We aim to be a collective and strong voice for all residents who live on Weir Estate, Weir Road SW12, whether they are a Council Resident or Leaseholder. We seek to represent the views and concerns of residents in a fair and unbiased manner to bring much needed change and improvement to their lives as residents of Lambeth.

We aim to encourage fair and open discussion incorporating all residents who are able to attend meetings and correspond with WERA in a way that suits their needs why seeking new ways to engage and encourage participation in the efforts of the Association regardless of Age, Race, Gender, Sexual Orientation or Religious Beliefs. All residents can attend meetings to air their concerns and WERA will seek to tackle any matters arising for the benefit and consideration of the resident.

We will treat all residents equally and without prejudice as well as advise and assist where necessary. WERA is one voice of a community and that voice can and does make a difference.
