Founded in 1957, the Maldon Society aims to promote and preserve the historical heritage of this town and its surrounding area by encouraging civic pride in the area
and promoting co-operation with other organisations.
Thank you to all of those who took the time to provide us with their comments on the planning application for 'Maldon Woods'. We collated your contributions and have submitted our strong objection to the scheme, which you can see on the planning page. We will keep you posted on developments.
