About Us
Who we are and what we do

The aim of the Civic Society is to promote a prosperous future for the town in a way that respects and enhances its historic past.

WHAT WE DO

  1. The Society has an important and well respected voice on planning applications and emerging council planning policy.
  2. We are represented on the Banbury Traffic Advisory Committee, Banbury Built Heritage Working Party and on organised groups concerned with amenities such as our local hospital, leisure facilities and open spaces.
  3. We represent members’ views on local issues to the Town, District and County Councils.
  4. We organise speakers to talk to our members and others on subjects such as architecture, town planning, heritage and public transport. We arrange occasional outings to places of interest.
  5. We produce a Quarterly Newsletter which is distributed to members, key local decision makers and other groups.

If you share our determination to preserve and enhance the character of Banbury and ensure a lively and prosperous future for the town and its people, please join the Banbury Civic Society today.
