The Preston and old Patcham Society was founded in 1973.
Our work is concerned with maintaining a sense of continuity in the community and matters related to conservation issues.
The Society embraces the area between Ditchling Road, Springfield Road, Dyke Road and Preston Drove, and also Snakey Lane. We are also involved with issues related to the surrounding downland.
The Society plants trees from time to time. We also check planning applications weekly. In addition we are represented on the Conservation Advisory Group which advises Brighton City Council's Planning Applications Sub-Committee on matters of conservation and listed buildings.
We hold regular meetings to which we welcome all members.
