The Wincheap Society
Residents’ Association
Standing up for the people, homes and small businesses of Wincheap, Canterbury, since 1996.
Looking after the character of Wincheap
The Wincheap Society represents the interests of residents and small businesses in Wincheap and the surrounding area. Our aim is to preserve and enhance the distinctive character and environmental quality of the area.
The Society began in 1996, in response to the development of Brett’s sports ground, now Wincheap Retail Park. Since then we have challenged planning proposals that would harm the area, and supported many initiatives to improve local life, including campaigns to reduce traffic and air pollution.
What we’re working on
Our current concerns are air quality, traffic management, the A2/A28 junctions and the future of local green spaces.
