Resident associations

Residents Action Group, Egerton (RAGE) was first established in 2003 to represent the residents of the Egerton Ward.

The group celebrated the success of a new community and Sure Start Children’s Centre, The Cove, that opened in July 2008. This community centre provides activities for all residents like bingo nights, and RAGE hold their meetings there as well. The group work closely with The Grove Primary School, based in Egerton, to communicate with local families and to engage residents.

RAGE organise regular events for the residents of Egerton for a reduced cost. Recent events include bingo, cinema trips and family outings to Skegness. RAGE also provides a regular newsletter to all residents in the area.
