Because Harpenden Matters

Who are we


The Harpenden Society is a charitable organisation that was formed in 1930 and campaigns for things that matter to the people of Harpenden


By listening to local residents and working with local groups, the Town, District and County Councils we focus on;


  • Recognising the need for new housing supported with appropriate infrastructure.
  • Preserving our conservation area and our historical past.
  • Protecting the green belt from over expansion
  • Supporting our local businesses that create vibrancy and diversity to our town
  • Highlighting the impact of excess traffic and airport expansion.
  • Taking action on Environmental issues and Climate Change.
  • Generating action with campaigns, public meetings and our newsletter
