Cardiff Civic Society

Cardiff Civic Society’s work includes protecting and enhancing our much-cherished green space and defending it against privatisation, protecting our built environment and campaigning for better design of new developments, this includes tackling the issue of affordable housing, or to be more precise, the lack of it.  And the paltry nature of developers’ Section 106 contributions for community and social infrastructure.

 Over the last few years we have run more than 40 campaigns, as well supporting other community organisations with their own campaigns to protect the spaces they hold dear.

 We lobby the council and the Welsh Government on a host of issues from biodiversity loss and the destruction of working class heritage, to better planning policies, – ones that really give agency to communities -to equality of access to green space and better quality affordable housing.
