The Heswall Society is the local amenity society for Heswall and Gayton, formed just over 50 years ago by some far-sighted residents who, even then, saw the danger of too much development of an unsympathetic kind.

We are still the only residents body which encourages the best designs of houses, retail and commercial properties in order to maintain the character and distinguishing features of Heswall.

We encourage our members to take an active interest in our surroundings and to keep us in touch with changes proposed in the area around them. Each year we hold a series of meetings with speakers on the environment or topics of specific or more general interest.

The Society is a registered charity (No 516421) and a member of the Civic Trust, NW ACTs and the Merseyside Civic Society.

New members who share our aim to retain the quality of Heswall and Gayton, without opposing sensitive change, are very welcome.
