Dear Mr Owen
ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY
This is in response to your invitation to us to submit our views on future ward boundaries for the
borough, in particular for the ward in which we are currently located, i.e. Cray Meadows.
ABOUT US
Our Association was founded 71 years ago and our Constitution sets out our Aims and Objectives.
These include two that are key to this exercise:-
1. To promote and further the preservation of the local environment as a residential area, the
protection of the Green Belt and the improvement of local amenities in North Cray; and
2. To co-operate with any other Association, Federation or Council having similar objectives, with
a view to ensuring unity of action on matters affecting members generally to their mutual
benefit.
Our Association represents some 400 households (800+ people), making our membership level
approx. 75%, and rising, of the residents of North Cray. Please see attached map at A.
Our website www.northcrayresidents.org.uk explains more about what we do and the nature of our
members' concerns and interests.
OUR AIM
Our considered view is that our part of the current Cray Meadows Ward should become part of a
new reshaped ward, one that through its western boundary would encompass the whole of Foots
Cray Meadows and the remaining area east of the River Cray down to Foots Cray Bridge; then run
eastward along the Maidstone Road on its northern side; then run northwards taking in our Green
Belt and Heritage Land; then run westwards to include Coldblow and Bexley Village east of the
River Shuttle; and then turn southwards again towards the River Cray, taking in Bexley Woods.
