about wera
WERA is the World's End Residents Association.
WERA was set up by the residents of the estate to represent the views and interests of all
residents when dealing with the Council, its agents and their contractors, and ensure that residents
are regularly and properly consulted on what is happening on the estate. WERA tries to foster a
wider sense of community and cooperation amongst all of the estate's residents and aims to ensure
that all of the estate's varied communities are properly represented and are able to participate in
its activities.
Any legal resident aged 16 or over can become a member of WERA by applying for membership to the
Committee of the Association. Membership can be applied for or renewed at any WERA Public Meeting or
at the WERA Annual General Meeting (AGM).
WERA has a Management Committee of residents who meet several times a year to discuss matters of interest
to all residents of the World's End Estate. The Committee aims to improve the estate and
make it a better place in which to live. Any WERA member can become a member of the Committee by
being nominated and elected at the WERA AGM. The Committee also plans and holds regular Public
Meetings to try and keep all residents informed about what is happening in and around the estate.
If you would like to find out more, or have any issues or concerns you'd like to bring to the
attention of WERA, please contact the Committee using the contact details below.

what we do
The Committee meets several times a year to discuss matters of relevance to the estate's
residents and the estate. The meetings are regularly attended by Council staff, Ward Councillors
and other third parties.
The Committee forms sub-committees or sub-groups when required. These are composed of Committee
members, other residents and relevant third parties. They meet seperately from the main Committee as
often as necessary and report back to the main Committee as required.
The Committee responds to all formal consultation on behalf of the estate's residents. This
includes Planning Notices from the Council's Planning Department and Section 20 Notices from the
landlord.
Committee members represent the Association at relevant meetings of the Council, Police and
other bodies. This currently includes the Council's Tenants Consultative Committee (TCC), a number
of Council-led consultation panels and sub-committees, and the Police's "Safer Neighbourhoods" Chelsea Riverside
Ward Panel.
