About us...

Purbrook and Widley Environmental Stewards, (PAWES) was formed in 1995. The founders were a group of local residents concerned about plans to build 10,000 houses in a proposed Major Development Area (MDA) West of Waterlooville.

Since those days this small action group has been instrumental in reducing the numbers of homes in the MDA to the current level of 2000. Along the way residents began contacting members of PAWES with their concerns on many other topics. Purbrook and Widley Area Residents’ Association (PAWARA) was constituted in 2004 because of the growing desire from residents to have an official voice.

PAWARA is now one of the best supported residents’ associations in Havant Borough.
