| Ludlow
demands careful stewardship and we believe that it is our
duty to assist everyone, including the professional
planners and and elected councillors to protect the
quality and character of Ludlow by seeking to ensure that
the highest standards of design are deployed in both
conservation work and in new development. Our aim is not
purely conservation; we believe that good contemporary
design will provide tomorrow's historic gems. The strength of the Society's influence depends not only on the quality of its representations to other bodies but also upon the size of its membership. If you wish to join the Society please go to the Membership Secretary's Page A list of the officers of the Committee can be be found here. |

Ludlow deserves
the best architecture, most sensitive townscape and
attention to detail that can be provided; the best way to
achieve these aims is through a vigilant, vigorous and
independent Civic Society. The
effectiveness of the Society can be judged on its record,
see what has been done on the Achievements
page Issues regularly discussed and acted upon by the Society's committee include: - The current version of the local plan. - Planning applications in the Ludlow area. - Major local and County initiatives. - Buildings at risk in the Ludlow area. - Wider environmental issues (eg: see the traffic in Ludlow page). The Society nominates a representative to the Ludlow Conservation Area Advisory Committee which advises the District Council Planning Committee on all planning applications in the Conservation Area. Planning applications can be viewed on the South Shropshire District Council's planning web site |
| The Society
provides members with an interesting and varied programme
of outings and lectures with invited speakers. Although
these lectures are open to anyone, a small entry charge
is made with a concession rate for members. The Society
occasionally organises other social events (such as the
garden party shown here). Information about all the
events is available on the Calendar of Events page. The Society produces a quarterly publication called "Heritage News". Back copies of this and other documents can be found on the Publications page The Society has a close and harmonious relationship with the Ludlow Historical Research Group and other local societies. Please note that both the Heritage News and the annual programme are produced on a voluntary basis. The Society is a charity with no regular income other than membership subscriptions and some limited sponsorship. |
