The Heswall Society is the local amenity society for Heswall and Gayton and is involved in all local environmental issues and is consulted by the Council on policies affecting the Conservation Areas. We review every planning application and, where necessary, make our views known to the Council. We encourage the best designs of houses, retail and commercial properties in order to maintain the character and distinguishing features of Heswall. The Society is not just about opposing harmful change; it has also been active in enhancing our area over many years.

Community Open Spaces
We are heavily involved with 'Heswall in Bloom' and support the Heswall Community Wildlife project We encourage our members to take an active interest in our surroundings and to keep us in touch with changes proposed in the area around them. Each year we hold a series of meetings with speakers on the environment or topics of specific or more general interest.

The Society fought to secure public ownership of the Dales and is a member of the Heswall Dales Advisory Group which monitors the management of the Dales and Beacons. We seek to preserve the Green Belt in our district; The Beacons, the Dales, Whitfield Common, the Puddydale, Dawstone Park, the open space below Tesco and the many unexpected places which give views of the Welsh Hills and the Dee estuary. Information about the Friends Groups that maintain these spaces can be found by clicking the link below.
