What
is the Langley Park
Residents Association?
The
committee works with Peverel on a voluntary
basis to ensure that the Langley Development
is maintained and secure for all of us.
The Association is funded from a voluntary
contribution from each property of £20.00
per year. If you are not contributing and
would like to please contact Steve Davie
