Potters Bar Society

Potters Bar Society aims to improve the beauty and character of the Potters Bar neighbourhood for the benefit of all residents, as well as those who work or study in the town. We stimulate public consciousness and appreciation of the area and encourage the preservation, development and improvement of those features that go to make a pleasing environment in which to live. We are a non-political organisation of residents that give a voice to local people. We work to get the best for our town and its environs. We hold meetings and lobby our elected representatives as necessary to achieve these aims.

The Society is run by an Executive Committee of up to twelve people, which includes representatives of each of our operating groups. There are two main groups, the Town Group and the Country and Footpath Group. The Town Group is particularly involved with the ongoing review of planning applications. The Country and Footpath Group is involved with relevant planning applications but also runs a popular programme of cross country walks. Whilst the aim of these is a little gentle exercise for the participants, they also assist in ensuring that the footpaths are walked, and so they remain open. When problems are detected with footpaths, as for example when they become blocked, then our Footpath Coordinator takes whatever action is needed to eliminate the problem. For further details, please refer to the relevant page of the website.

Subscriptions to the Society are a modest £5.00 per year for an individual or £7.50 for a family. A discount on this is available for those prepared to commit for three years, when an individual will pay £12.50 or a family, £19. If you're interested in joining us, an application form can be found on the Join Us page of the website.

We are Registered Charity No. 1087470.
