Welcome to Sudbury Town Residents' Association (STRA)
STRA is a non-political, non-sectarian group that aims to encourage our community (including the shops in Sudbury Town) to work together for a cleaner, greener, and
safer area in which to live. Until December 2022 we were your local neighbourhood forum and developed
a Neighbourhood Plan for Sudbury details of which can be found here. For more information about
our history and achievements to date click here. Volunteers are always needed to help with events and
to join our committees. If you would like to join us and be involved we would like to hear from you so send us an email.
If you would like to become a member of STRA, signing up couldn’t be easier. Download the STRA application form and either email it back to us or pop it in the post. The address is on the contact us page.
The date of the next meeting can be found here. The next agenda will appear on the members page, Members will need to have their password ready.
At the beginning of every meeting you can apply for a three minute soap box slot where you can raise a local topic which is important to you and other residents in the area, i.e. dumped rubbish, anti-social behaviour etc.
At our regular meetings we are happy to welcome speakers on a variety of subjects from our local National Trust group to safer neighbourhood policing, local councillors, Wembley History Society etc. If you would like to suggest a topic please email or phone in your ideas.
Find out more about Sudbury on the Sudbury wikipedia page.
