Welcome to the home of RARA, the Ridley Avenue Residents Association and Neighbourhood Watch based in West Ealing, London.

RARA was set up in 2003, first and foremost as a Neighbourhood Watch group to provide residents with the latest crime statistics, pass on crime prevention information and to provide a link between the Metropolitan Police and the local community.

In addition, RARA aims to provide a forum for Ridley Avenue residents to get to know each other, to resolve local issues that affect residents and to act as a facilitator where issues fall outside the RARA remit.

If you would like more information about RARA, you can email us at info@rara.org.uk.

Update: 15 June 2008

The February/March edition of our newsletter for residents is now available for download (PDF 136Kb).
