The Loudwater Village Residents Association (LVRA) was formed in March and has already organised a litter pick and a sold-out fundraising quiz night. The village had been without a residents’ association since the Loudwater Forum closed during the Covid pandemic. More than 60 residents of all ages took part in the LVRA’s first litter pick in June. LVRA member Margaret Ross said: “Joining the village residents association has brought neighbours together, strengthened community spirit and given a collective voice to tackle local issues achieve positive outcomes and make our village a better place.” The association is open to everyone living in Loudwater, with residents able to join one of its project teams or receive updates about forthcoming events.
