GPCA: Who we are and what we do

GOLDSWORTH PARK is defined as the area bounded by Robin Hood Road, St. John’s Road, Goldsworth Road, Bridge Barn Lane, Well Lane, Bullbeggers Lane, Horsell Birch and Littlewick Road, and all the residents of this area can register as members of the GPCA, regardless of their gender, ethnic origin, political, religious or other opinions. The GPCA does not charge membership fees, although it reserves the right to do so.

The GPCA, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, works with local authorities, police and other voluntary organisations and individuals to promote residents’ interests and improve their conditions. 

By and large, this involves representing residents’ views to Woking Borough Council, Surrey County Council, the managing agents of the shopping centre and any other organisation that may impact Goldsworth Park. 

The GPCA organises social events and litter picks and coordinates campaigns of public interest.  For example, it monitors and responds to planning applications of concern to residents.

The GPCA’s main areas of activity are:

• Developing and managing this website and associated social media to provide up-to-date information to residents.
  
  
• Publishing and distributing Goldsworth News, the community magazine which is delivered to around 5.000 homes and local businesses. The magazine is published quarterly.
  
  
• Supporting the Natural Goldsworth Park and Lake Bank Restoration projects, which have greatly improved the environment and provided a safe habitat for the wildlife of Goldsworth Park.
