This group was probably set up in the late 1970's.
We meet every other month at differing venues. We prefer to have a Chairman & secretary, and are usually 5-7 people. We need people with ideas & a certain amount of vision. We also need those with patience! To put these ideas into action can often take a long time - so often other groups & authorities are involved. We also look for smaller, local problems, such as 'Eyesores' - places where maintenance has been neglected, areas where small improvements are needed. Sometimes these can be little hands on jobs for us (painting, litter etc.) So we keep a watching brief and inform and liaise with our Local & Unitary Councils. We do of course report to the Executive Committee. Our aim is always to improve our local environment - either alone or in conjunction with others.

Over the years we have developed a small derelict tract of ground into a small park, improved a roundabout & found funding for suitable lamp standards, inaugarated litter collection days, refurbished all of Clevedon's fountains. We have sponsored a gazebo in Alexandra Rd Gardens and dedicated it to Lady Elton who was our president since the Civic Society was created.
We have recently renovated the Victorian Shelter on the Beach, built an Archway to the entrance to Salthouse Fields and restored the ruined Sugar Lookout on Poet's Walk.
