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:
