Our Mission.............

PWRA is conscious of the heritage of Purley. This has long been recognized by local historians in the Bourne Society, and recently by Croydon Council through the Local Areas of Special Character initiative.

PWRA stands for preserving and enhancing the quality of life in Purley, against the tide of traffic and inappropriate development
