The Guildford Society
For over 100 years, the Society, the Civic Society for the area, has cared deeply about Guildford, its countryside, and its villages.
We cherish Guildford’s heritage and natural beauty, and we care just as much about the future we leave behind.
We know Guildford will grow and change, but we believe that change should strengthen what people love most about this place.
We want Guildford to be vibrant, welcoming, healthy, and liveable. We support thoughtful, sustainable development that exhibits good design quality and helps our town and surroundings thrive.
At a time of growing pressure for change, Guildford needs a strong, independent voice that puts the town and its future first.
