The Greenfield and Grasscroft Residents Association has existed for more than 25 years:

	To serve the interests of our neighbourhood (i.e. Greenfield , Grasscroft, Friezeland and Lydgate)
	To raise awareness of local issues and increase participation in local democracy
	To support our local environment and protect the greenbelt
	To provide an effective voice for residents, defend their interests on public issues
	To lobby Oldham Council and other bodies on behalf of residents

Our activities include:

	Forum for advice and consultation
	Representation and advocacy on behalf of Greenfield and Grasscroft residents.
	Dissemination of news and information to local residents
	Liaison with the Press
	Attendance at public meetings

GGRA is affiliated to the Campaign for the Preservation of Rural England (CPRE) who provide advice and support on countryside and green-belt issues - e.g. planning, Quiet Lanes, noise/light pollution, mobile phone masts).

Serving as a lobby group to represent the views of local people, GGRA is not affiliated to a political party.

Above all, GGRA serves to improve communication within the village, helping to enhance our sense of community.
