About Us
We are the Civic Society for our lovely town and the surrounding villages, so we feel we have a duty of care to promote high standards of planning and architecture.
Marlow Matters
We seek to advance the protection, development and improvement of Marlow by supporting the River Thames, Transport, Green Spaces and Leisure Facilities, Marlow Bridge, Air Quality & Planning Applications
River Thames
Our area includes the stretch of the River Thames from Medmenham to Bourne-End
Marlow Bridge
Marlow's Bridge has existed for over 600 years. The metal suspension bridge was completed in 1832 and with the support of The Marlow Society has stood the test of time.
Transport
The Society aims to support improvements to the transport infrastructure while reducing the environmental impact of traffic.
Air Quality
The central area of Marlow is an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA).
Green spaces and leisure facilities
Our green spaces and leisure facilities add to the enjoyment of living in and visiting Marlow
Planning Applications
The Society examines Planning Applications with a potential for significant impact, and, where appropriate, supportive comments or objections are submitted.
