About Residents for Uttlesford

Residents for Uttlesford (R4U) is the local independent party of north-west Essex towns and villages. The party believes in positive politics and that residents should decide on local issues, not Westminster parties.

R4U leads Uttlesford District Council (UDC). In its first election in 2015 it became the second party at UDC. In May 2019 R4U gained majority control of UDC, winning two-thirds of the seats. The ground-breaking result delivered the biggest loss by any Conservative controlled council in the UK. In 2023 the party retained control of the now award-winning local authority.

In 2021, R4U won half the Essex County Council seats in Uttlesford district.

Since 2015 R4U has also led Saffron Walden Town Council, where under its stewardship the council has rebuilt finances, invested in community assets, and won multiple awards, including the best run council in Essex. It is a minority party on Great Dunmow Town Council.

Residents for Uttlesford can be found on the web at www.residents4u.org.
