| New Eltham Residents'
Association was founded in 1930. It is a non-political
association that looks upon local issues with impartiality and non
allegiance.
The current chairman is Robin Clark and the President is Clive Efford the
current local Member of Parliament (Eltham Constituency).
As a pressure group for the residents of New Eltham we tackle local issues and
concerns and liaise with local Council and Parliament.
Issues such as local police monitoring, building development, traffic watchdog
and problems and local transport services are just a few of the wide ranging
subjects and problems which are dealt with on a day-by-day basis.
The committee comprises local residents, local businesses, councilors and the
local MP. The organization rests solely on the efforts and enthusiasm of
volunteers and interested residents. Meetings are held once a month.

New Shrubs Planted
Greenwich council has recently planted over 60
shrubs outside the shops by the trees in Footscray Road, by the
Co-Op.
In the years to come, we hope this will give great pleasure to local
residents, shoppers, Greenwich Council and the retailers. We hope that
people will look after the shrubs and do not litter or put bags of rubbish
on them and keep them watered.
We would like to thank the Greenwich Council for their efforts.
