Welcome to GRA

Guildford Residents Association (GRA) aims to bring together residents associations and parish councils from across the borough to share ideas and information and provide a collective voice on matters that we feel are important to the community, such as the Local Plan and its implementation.  GRA was formed in 2012.

GRA membership consists of residents associations (RAs) and parish councils who support the GRA's statement of residents , "Aspirations for Guildford". The "Aspirations" paper is also supported by the Guildford Society and CPRE. Membership of GRA is open to all RAs and parish councils in the borough who support our Aspirations paper. GRA is apolitical.

Our vision is for all Guildford residents to enjoy a good quality of life in a healthy, enriching environment within caring communities. Achieving this requires Guildford to:

• cherish its market town legacy, garden suburbs and downland setting, 
• encourage innovative, sustainable development of its high added value economy, building on Guildford’s current strengths and correcting its weaknesses.
