Havering Residents Association

Havering Residents Association (HRA) is a group of residents' associations and registered political party in London, England. It is active in the London Borough of Havering and as of 2026 forms a 25-councillor group that is the minority administration of Havering London Borough Council. At the 2022 elections they were the largest elected residents group in London, and the sixth largest political party represented on all London borough councils. Not all associations in Havering are affiliated with the HRA, usually indicating this by standing as "Independent Residents Association" candidates, as happened after the Harold Wood Hill Park Residents Association disaffiliated from the HRA in 2019. The HRA has its origins in ratepayers' associations that became active in the early 20th century, including the Hornchurch Ratepayers' Association that was founded on 16 March 1900 and Upminster and Cranham Ratepayers' Association that was founded on 4 January 1906.
