About Us: Birkdale Civic Society was formed 25 years ago, and has been a powerful lobbying force on many issues affecting the Birkdale Village Conservation Area and subsequently all parts of Birkdale. It's objectives are threefold (1) to examine and comment, where necessary, on all planning applications affecting Birkdale (2) to enhance the visual aspect of Birkdale (3) to encourage the community to subscribe to the improvement of the area.

Ralph Gregson of Birkdale Civic Society

Over the years it has led in many improvement projects ranging from persuading the Council to provide hanging baskets; tree planting; flower planters and the provision of seat benches. It has also entered into partnership with the council in the award-winning Queen's Jubilee Nature Trail and recently the Energy Garden at the Southport Eco Centre; the Velvet Trail on Birkdale beach; the Wooden Walkway across the green beach and improvements at the Round Hill site, Hillside. The Society has organised many clean-up sessions in all parts of Birkdale.
It's membership is 60 peoples of all ages and meets every 6 weeks or so at the home of it's Chairman Ralph Gregson M.B.E..

To celebrate it's 25 years, it will be organising a dinner in the Autumn and during the period 21st September to 14th October 2007 it will be holding an exhibition in the Botanic Gradens Museum, Churchtown. It recently produced a 30mm DVD on Birkdale Past & Present and is has been an outstanding seller, priced at £8.
