Altrincham and Bowdon Civic Society

The Civic Society exists to promote appropriate standards for the development of Altrincham, in order to create an environment which is pleasant, attractive and thriving for its citizens to live in and enjoy.

Registered Charity No. 246145


The Civic society was formed over 40 years ago to ensure that the highest standards for the development of Altrincham are achieved. Over recent years we have been particularly concerned to influence proposed major developments in our town, including Altrincham General Hospital, Altrincham Interchange, the Market area and Station Buildings.  We address issues such as architectural design, traffic flow and car parking, along with supporting town centre shops and specialist traders.


In addition to major developments, the Society monitors planning applications for smaller developments to gauge their impact upon individuals, groups and businesses.

 

We also seek to protect and conserve important historic buildings, in order to retain the distinct character of the area. Additionally, we are pro-active in the protection and creation of more green spaces and tree planting schemes.


The society arranges regular open Management Committee meetings at Altrincham Town Hall to discuss items of interest or concern and to inform members. The AGM is held in November and includes a talk from an external speaker on a variety of relevant topics.  Forthcoming meeting dates are as follows:

 

Management Committee Meetings – Altrincham Town Hall – Meeting Room

 

Thursday 9th September 2010  -   2pm – 4pm

Thursday 21st October 2010     -   2pm – 4pm

 

Annual General Meeting – Altrincham Town Hall - Council Chamber

 

Wednesday 24th November - 7pm – 9.15pm – Speaker to be advised


New members are always welcome and, for those with more than just a passing interest, why not consider joining our very active committee?
