Cobham & Downside Residents' Association
We live in a great area, but there are issues which affect us all. Join the Cobham & Downside Residents' Association and help us lobby to maintain the character of our town and improve its amenities. The CDRA lobbies on planning, highways, facilities for our young people, police services, health services, the environment and other local amenities. There are many aspects of local society on which we all have opinions - all matters that affect the local community receive our attention. If you would like to help us make a difference, we are always looking for enthusiastic local residents to join our committee.
