Conserving our town

The Buckingham Society exists to campaign to enhance and improve our town. Last week Society held their AGM followed by an excellent presentation from Ian Harvey from Civic Voice, a Scouser with a passion for preserving the beauty, quality and elegance of towns throughout the UK. Here he is in mid flow!

Members of The Buckingham Society share the following aims:

• Promote the distinctive character of our town
• Set high standards of design and sustainability
• Celebrate and safeguard Buckingham's heritage
• Find solutions to environmental problems
• Improve the quality of life in our community
• Inspire sensitive changes within the places we cherish
• Create and consolidate effective partnerships between community, business and local government.

One of the subjects under discussion last Wednesday evening was the Buckingham Conservation Area. Do you know what the area covers and how being in an area affects planning decisions...? If you are curious (and I would hope that you are), you can find out lots more here. 

Meanwhile, the Buckingham Society is keen to grown and extend its influence. If you would like to join, please click here.
