Caring for Canterbury – past, present & future
As the Canterbury Society’s annual Civic Lecture, the focus of this event will be on the quality of life in Canterbury and the changes ahead for the city. What are the challenges facing Canterbury and other cities, now and in the future? What can planners and councillors, community groups and local people do to enhance the quality of life locally? And more generally, what makes a city a good place in which to live?
You are invited to come along to hear talks and join in a discussion about the answers to these questions. A booklet on the recent history of the Canterbury Society will be launched (with free copies made available for those present). This will lead on to a presentation about the work of civic societies more generally, and to a discussion of plans for the future – in which Canterbury will be part of a larger East Kent Unitary Authority.
Brief presentations will include:
- Launch and talk on ‘The History of the Canterbury Society’: Speaker: Jan Pahl
- Presentation on ‘Civic Voice and Civic Societies’: Speaker: John Walker
- Presentation ‘All together now? Canterbury Society, a Town Council and the new Unitary Council’: Speaker: Dave Wilson
FREE entry and everyone will be very welcome – Doors open 7pm and refreshments available.
