Welcome to Ashford Residents Association (TW15)
WORKING WITH our COMMUNITY TO SHAPE A BRIGHTER safer FUTURE FOR ASHFORD



As members of the Ashford community, we are a group of volunteers dedicated to bringing residents together and keeping them informed.
As a non-political, non-profit association, we share local news,
planning updates, community events, and resident concerns while working with local leaders, police, schools, and Neighbourhood Watch groups to help build a stronger safer community.

All Ashford TW15 residents are welcome to join the association.
Simply join – no pressure,
no volunteering,
just be part of your community.
Household Annual Membership fee
is £5, the cost of a coffee!
