WPA’S FOUNDING CHAIR’S MESSAGE


From 1989


“Some 18 months ago, a number of property owners in Westminster thought that there would be an advantage in being able to present property arguments collectively to Westminster City Council. We discussed the proposal with the Leader of the Council and others and it became clear that they would value the possibility of obtaining considered views on property matters from one responsible body. As a result the Westminster Property Owners Association was born. Although we had one or two preliminary exploratory meetings in 1987 it was only on 1 January 1988 that we formally came into operation.

It is my feeling that in many ways the Association has exceeded our expectations. Twenty-four companies and organisations with wisely varying interests agreed to form a General Council and pay a sufficiently large subscription to ensure the financial viability of the Association. Members put away some of their rivalries and have worked together to produce the sort of agreed policies which are described in our Annual Report.
