Sustainable Future

Creating an understanding of how we can achieve a sustainable future for our Town and its citizens is now at the heart of the Society`s activities.

Sustainable Future
Excellence in Planning

One of the most important activities of the Civic Society is to engage with the planning system as it formulates plans which affect our localities and as it takes decisions on planning applications

Excellence in Planning
Promoting Heritage

Heritage is the name we give to what we inherit from the past. Heritage is the memory of what has taken place, the things we did and the choices we made that appear in our present lives as traces of that past.

Promoting Heritage

Keeping you Informed

Making Marple Better - Together

Everyone in Marple, residents young and old, businesses and community groups, can help to identify our challenges and offer ideas for tackling them. We believe that working together to adapt to the changing world is the way to create a healthier, happier and more sustainable community for ourselves and for future generations.
