Heald Green and Long Lane Ratepayers Association is a Ratepayers' Association in the Heald Green ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.

In every local election since its creation in 1927, independents sponsored by the association have held the council seats in the ward.[2][3] The association has also supplied three mayors and two deputy mayors since the ward became a part of Stockport in 1974.[4]

The association states that it does not have a manifesto or party policies, instead sponsoring councillors who live in the area to represent the community.[5]
