Dronfield Civic Society - Caring for our local environment since 1989

A Position Statement

Dronfield Civic Society was founded in 1989 following concerns about the state of the town raised by members of Dronfield Rotary Club.

In our fourth decade, through an active membership & committee, we aim to look after our historic buildings by recognising the importance of conservation, improve the local street scene for residents and visitors, and provide opportunities for local people to get involved in shaping where they live.

During 2025, the former Chair and Treasurer of the Civic Society Committee gave notice of their intention to step down and subsequently initiated a process to close the Society. At the eleventh hour, we are pleased to announce that people came forward to fill the required positions of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary in line with our constitution.

The Society will now begin the work to reverse the closure process. We hope that you will bear with us as we begin to reshape, review and decide what our new focus and direction will be.

During this time, the Civic Society website will see major revisions and updates. Despite the threat of closure, we have continued our work across Dronfield and district. Please see the newsletters which provide an archive of all our work up to September 2025.
