What is RoMRA?
Royal Mills Residents Association (RoMRA) is the residents association for the entire Royal Mills estate. This includes Royal Mills, Old Sedgewick, New Sedgewick, Paragon, Kennedy, McConnell and Fairbairn. RoMRA provides flat owners with a collective voice for the upkeep of the estate, service charge expenditure and resolution of problems that arise between the flat owners and Zenith (the managing agent for the Royal Mills) and Renaker (the landlord).
