About the Residents' Association
The Trumpington Residents' Association was founded in 1992. The original aim was to represent the views of people living in the area of Paget Road, Foster Road, Byron Square and Monkswell. With the growing development pressures, membership was subsequently extended to the whole parish. In October 2008, the Association was established as a company limited by guarantee. In October 2010, it was entered in the Register of Charities.

The aim of the Association is to make Trumpington a better place for the future, by working to maintain and improve the quality of life of local residents. The Association is apolitical, while welcoming input from all those involved in Trumpington.

In September 2004, the Association published a report titled the
Future Development of a Historically Important Parish, with recommendations to planners and developers on the future of Trumpington.

Recent concerns have included the need for a community centre, library and health centre, additional educational facilities, sustainability and the protection of the green wedge and resources such as Hobson's Brook. The Association has been working with the City, District and County Councils and developers to press for the highest quality in the new housing and transport developments in the area.
