ABOUT RFTRA
Get involved in
your community to have your say and make a difference.
Reading Federation of
Tenants’ and Residents’ Associations (RFTRA) is an umbrella organisation for the
Tenants' and Residents' Associations, Community Voices and Sounding Board Members within the
Borough of Reading. We give support to associations and provide a voice for Tenants’
and Residents’ Associations on a range of issues.
As full members of RFTRA
we regularly meet with senior Council Officers, Local Councillors and a range of other
local organisations to put forward the views of local people on issues such as: road
safety and traffic problems, crime reduction, waste and recycling management, youth and
children’s facilities, housing matters and much more.
