About us
Our aims
The Peterborough Society was formed in 1952, later renamed The Peterborough Civic Society which we felt more represented the purpose of the society.
We are committed to making Peterborough a pleasant and interesting place in which present and future generations can be proud to live, work and socialise; retaining local features of merit irrespective of age and encouraging new development which is well designed and sustainable.
What do we do?
We campaign to influence the public authorities and other agents of change to:
- promote good design
- encourage an imaginative approach to the City's future
- value and care for the local heritage of buildings and other features
- promote local knowledge and pride of place, and
We meet monthly to hear speakers on planning, design, regeneration, other environmental issues and the history and culture of Peterborough
We visit places of interest during the summer
We participate in events throughout the year and publish articles and leaflets and other information
We invite corporate membership and our current corporate members can be found here.
Who are we?
We are a voluntary, membership based organisation, a charity and registered with Civic Voice. Committee member Kem Mehmed has written an article about the Society and is well worth reading and can be found here.
