Marple Civic Society 2011 - www.marplecivicsociety.org.uk
Campaigns
The Society campaigns in its own right or with others on contentious issues and matters important to the people of Marple.
We fought hard and successfully opposed a reduction in the Hollins forecourt planned to accommodate an extra traffic lane at the Stockport Road/Hollins Lane junction. We have also led public opposition to an inappropriate housing development at the historic Marple Wharf canal site, and we support the local campaign to oppose a supermarket on the Hibbert Lane Campus Site.
Heritage and Conservation
The society takes a keen interest in the preservation and maintenance of the 120 listed buildings and 7 conservation areas within our area. We also seek to protect other buildings of local interest using the 'local listing' process. A further aim is to protect our beautiful countryside and report issues of concern on Rights of Way issues.
Projects
The society is involved in a variety of interesting projects. If you would like to help as a volunteer, please contact us through our website.
