The Royal Tunbridge Wells Civic Society is dedicated to the preservation of our fine town and its future. It is an independent non-party political organisation representing through its Executive the interests of all those living or working in the town;
Founded in 1959, it covers the area of the former Royal Tunbridge Wells, with a population of about 35,000, the historic
centre of the Borough of Tunbridge Wells; it is the official amenity society for the town registered with the Civic Trust; we work with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, the Town Forum and other local bodies on current issues;
We promote the conservation and improvement of Royal Tunbridge Wells and its quality of life, and knowledge of its history;
We scrutinise planning applications, give awards, erect plaques, organise Heritage Open Days, publish historical monographs, and make representations on council and national policy and plans;
We encourage planners, builders and developers to protect our heritage and to meet high standards reflecting the unique character of the town. The Society has an active social programme of talks, walks and visits and an annual garden party; enquiries about these and about membership should be addressed to the Secretary [email protected]
