The West Windsor Residents Association (WWRA) is a political party and residents association based in Windsor, Berkshire. [1] It currently has two representatives in opposition on Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council, Carole Da Costa and Wisdom Da Costa. [2]

History

The residents association was first established in 1962, and independent councillors sponsored by WWRA have represented the Clewer North Ward since 1987. [3]

From 14 July 2015 to 3 November 2016 the party was registered as the "West Windsor Independents". [4]

Carole and Wisdom Da Costa were first elected in the 2019 Borough Council election. [5] Carole told local media that her priorities as a councillor would be the creation of more affordable housing, and supporting community integration of people with disabilities. [6]

In early 2023, ex-journalist Frankie Theobalds was unanimously elected chairman of the WWRA: he said the group would help the local community to deal with the cost of living crisis, and environmental issues. [7]

In the 2023 Borough Council election, both WWRA councillors stood for re-election in the Clewer and Dedworth West ward, and won. [8] [9]
