Our purposes are to:
- promote high standards of planning and architecture,
- stimulate public interest in the history, architecture and topography of the town, and
- secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic or public interest.
In support of these purposes we undertake a variety of activities:
- We comment and make representations on planning applications for buildings in the town, and other local and governmental issues affecting it. We welcome comments on such matters which members feel should be brought to our attention.
- We hold regular meetings on a wide range of topics of local and general interest such as architecture, history and planning.
- Our biennial Leamington Society Awards competition recognises successful improvements, restorations and new buildings.
- A quarterly newsletter available in print or here on this site, giving Society views and news and we welcome your contributions.
- Active Friends groups organise and raise funds for particular programs such as the Pump Room Gardens and Leamington Station. Recently a new Friends group has been formed to watch over the welfare of Christchurch Gardens.
The New Leamington Society Framework
We are excited to introduce The Leamington Society Framework, designed to enhance our town’s built and green environment while supporting developments that improve quality of life. Centered on five key pillars—Represent, Support, Inform, Connect, and Develop—this framework will guide our efforts to advocate for local issues, empower community groups, keep members informed, foster connections, and embrace new ideas.
While we’re proud of what we already achieve, we know there’s room for improvement, and this framework will help us better serve both our town and our members. We’re inviting feedback from all our members throughout November and December to ensure it reflects your needs and priorities. Together, we can shape a more vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community.
Take a look HERE to view the framework and please give any feedback to contact@leamingtonsociety.org
