Salisbury Civic Society, as a member of Civic Voice, is a voluntary organisation supporting pride in our heritage, working to enhance our environment and shaping the future of Salisbury and South Wilts through active engagement with local plans and initiatives. We host a variety of talks, forums and open meetings for our members and the community, encouraging debate and involvement in this unique area. Our annual awards scheme spotlights new buildings and conservation work to existing buildings. We engage with relevant local issues, comment on key planning applications and commission historical blue plaques to local people and events of significance.
