Civic Societies are a way for local people to make their voices count and shape the way that their neighbourhoods develop. Everyone has an opinion about the places where they live, work and shop, but how often are these views reflected in the decision making process? Our aims are:- 1. To promote high standards of planning and design. 2. To educate the public in the history, geography and conservation of the natural and built environment. 3. To promote policies and projects that will enhance quality of life in the community. 4. To promote environmental, economic and social sustainability. 5. To protect, preserve and improve features of historic or public interest. 6. To promote Civic Pride. Recent News In December 2009 we had attached 23 blue plaques to buildings of historic importance in Monmouth. The final plaque will be attached to the Shirehall when the current refurbishment has been completed next spring. Much of the funding has come from the Town Council, but the Civic Society has done all of the work in getting permission and the necessary planning consents. The distinctive ceramic plaques have been made and installed by local potter Ned Hayward from Chepstow. We meet at St. Thomas' Church Hall, St. Thomas' Square, Monmouth on the 4th Wednesday of every other month. In 2010 this will be January 27th, March 24th (AGM with speaker), May 26th, July 28th, Sept 22nd, November 24th. The Annual Subscription, due in April, is £8.00 Single, £10.00 Double.
