The Eltham Society - the local amenity society for Eltham, England, London SE9

AMENITY

This could be considered the essential committee for it deals with planning applications, offering sound observations at borough planning meetings and is, at times, consulted by Greenwich borough, so is therefore a very respected group. Each year it recommends to the Executive Council an award for an improvement or contribution to the local scene or environment.

The society's motto, Preserving the past, Conserving the present, Protecting the future aptly describes the work of the amenity committee as all its deliberations have some impact on the past, the present and the future of Eltham.

One of the major areas of work done by the Amenity Committee is to seek out new projects worthy of the Eltham Society Award.
