Walmley Residents Association About Us
This Web Site was founded in January 2001
WELCOME to Walmley Residents Association Web Site.
Walmley is a Village, within the constituency of Sutton Coldfield.
In 1974 Sutton Coldfield was taken into the City of Birmingham.
In June 2004 Ward Boundaries were looked at and as a result “New Hall” ward had a section taken off it, until then New Hall ward had been the largest ward in the city.
Whilst the ward boundaries may have change, our resident’s association area has not and we therefore cover most of New Hall Ward and a section of the newly created “ Trinity Ward”.
Sutton Coldfield now has four wards in the constituency, which is within the City of Birmingham, which is in turn part of the West Midland Region in the United Kingdom.
Local Residents will recognise the photographs on the heading as a range of houses within the area, local shops in the Village Centre, Walmley Primary School and St.Johns Church. Our Residents Association Logo on the left of the header shows the year the association was founded and it has been active in the community ever since.
WRA gets involved with all aspects of life, Transportation, Education, Planning and The Environment. Our area now includes more than 7,500 dwellings.
The committee is made up of local volunteers who care for their community and have some time to give. They have a formal committee meeting monthly and the “Neighbourhood Forum” arm of the group holds four public meeting per calendar year, often with guest speakers. WRA/WNF are represented on many other groups. Ward Board, (BANF) Birmingham Association of Neighbourhood Forums, Police Liaison, Fire Forum, to name just a few. There are also about 30 other volunteers who deliver the quarterly newsletters to subscribing members of WRA.
Newsletters go out in March, June, September and December each year.
Meetings: - There are at least Four public meetings each year, two evening meetings and two Saturday afternoon meeting; this is hopefully to enable everyone to be able to attend at some time. The meetings are held at St. Johns Church, in the Village Centre. The Church is fully accessible for people who have disabilities including those who need to use a “loop” system for their hearing aid.
OUR EVENTS page gives details of meetings.
Membership: - Anyone over the age of 16 who lives in the area or who has an interest in the area can become a member by subscribing to the Association. The yearly membership is at present, £2 per year per household.
WHAT GREAT VALUE! Less than 4p per week!

We hope this Web Site will encourage more residents to become actively involved in their area. To enable each and every one of us to “take ownership” of their environment, in order that we can share in “Pride of Place”. Ensuring we have done our best to pass on something worthwhile to future generations.
