The West Windsor Residents Association (WWRA) is a political party and residents association based in Windsor, Berkshire. It currently has two representatives in opposition on Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council, Carole Da Costa and Wisdom Da Costa.

History

The residents association was first established in 1962, and independent councillors sponsored by WWRA have represented the Clewer North Ward since 1987.

From 14 July 2015 to 3 November 2016 the party was registered as the "West Windsor Independents".

Carole and Wisdom Da Costa were first elected in the 2019 Borough Council election. Carole told local media that her priorities as a councillor would be the creation of more affordable housing, and supporting community integration of people with disabilities.

In early 2023, ex-journalist Frankie Theobalds was unanimously elected chairman of the WWRA: he said the group would help the local community to deal with the cost of living crisis, and environmental issues.

In the 2023 Borough Council election, both WWRA councillors stood for re-election in the Clewer and Dedworth West ward, and won.
