An effective voice
-
Members of the Management Committee
confer regularly with Elmbridge and Surrey County Council officers,
local and County Councilors, local Members of Parliament, the
police, government departments, the officers of the Crown Estates
Commissioners and regulatory authorities on relevant issues.
They are also interested in healthcare and community services
available to residents.
By building up a close and
personal liaison and offering constructive comments (and criticism
where necessary) Committee members as a team are able to gain
an insight into the thoughts and mechanisms of these bodies which
would be very difficult for an individual to achieve.
FEDORA co-operates with neighbouring Residents’
Associations to strengthen the collective voice at Council and
national level.
FEDORA publishes a newsletter twice a year,
in Spring and Autumn. It is distributed free to all households
in the area. The newsletter is financed by advertising revenue
received mainly from local enterprises who seek business from
residents and who support our cause. The aims of the newsletter
are to keep residents: abreast of developments, aware of local
issues, knowledgeable of the range and quality of services available
to them, interested in the history of Oxshott and its residents,
and entertained with occasional articles of style and wit.
Non-sectarian and non-political
FEDORA is not affiliated to any political
party or other body and does not seek to represent any interest
other than the totality of Oxshott residents in the physical
and social quality of their life.
FEDORA does not represent any individual,
but can and does give advice on the proper channel and approach
to promote an individual resident’s interest. Apart from
the individual members, who make up the largest section of FEDORA’s membership
and income, the Committee carries representatives of the various
Residents' Associations, Road Associations, Management Companies,
the Oxshott Heath Conservators and the Local History Forum.
