Downstairs in the Community Centre

Feel free to drop by from about 2 pm. Our MP Nickie Aiken will be around, along with a number of our Councillors.

All residents of the Golden Lane Estate are members of GLERA unless they opt out. At the AGM we will review the past year and the challenges we face going forward. We will also elect our new Committee for 2023/24. Please come along – this a great opportunity to meet your neighbours and get involved.

GLERA is just a few of your neighbours trying to juggle work, family and other life demands, whilst doing what we can to improve life on the estate, working closely with our Councillors and using our recognised status as a resident association as best we can. If you can get involved, please do. We need you!

The Officer roles are Chair, Treasurer and Secretary (which comes with a monthly stipend of £100), along with up to an additional nine Committee members.
