Stamford Civic Society Newsletter Summer 2025​

We have had a busy few months focussed upon raising the profile of the Civic Society.  To this end we celebrated National Civic Day, which was on 14th June.  We held a vote for the favourite street in Stamford.  Many of you may have seen us in the High Street where we based ourselves outside the library. This caused much interest, and a large variety of streets were nominated.  We were surprised however, that of those people that we spoke to, how many of them were visitors to the town.  This high proportion of visitors gave a distorted result as they all voted for the High Street as it was the only street name that they knew.

Stamford Civic Society Newsletter Winter 2025

​​The Civic Society Committee have had a busy few months. The obvious results of work undertaken by Committee member Tim Lee, and supported by the rest of the committee is the newly installed Welcome To Stamford Arch in Sheepmarket and Horseshoe Lane.  This project has taken over a year to finalise and we hope that you appreciate its completed result.

Your committee has been busy this year, and is very pleased to welcome two new members,
Nicola Sandall, and James Tusting.  Nicola is a Stamfordian born and breed who is now a Tour Guide taking visitors around Stamford.  She also produces shows at the Corn Exchange.
James is Head of Land and Property at Burghley, overseeing the Estate’s property business and its various interests around Stamford.
We are indebted to our Treasurer Martin Lander who, after serving as our Treasurer for a number of years, wishes to stand down from this position.  Thus, we are actively looking for a volunteer to replace him. Please consider this opportunity to serve our Society and Stamford, if you are aware of anyone who you think would like to join us in this capacity.

Welcome to our Summer Newsletter and I hope everyone is well. This is an update on the activity over recent months.
