Civic Revival

Join our Civic Revival summer get together in Bexhill-on-Sea, home of a new independent town council, to share experiences and ideas!

Join us for Civic Revival’s first study visit to the sunny south coast and come together with fellow localists and community democrats. This is the first of a programme of local gatherings at which we'll explore interesting places that are showing the way on citizen-led community empowerment and democratic civic leadership. Our first gathering will be on Friday 9th July in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, a seaside town known for its iconic 1930s modernist seafront De La Warr Pavilion (which we'll be visiting!).Last month the first elections to the newly established Bexhill Town Council were held, after years of local campaigning. The independent group Bexhill Together have a majority, and now have to learn to run a council, engage the community, and put a wide range of ideas for improvements into practice. Civic Revival invites all its friends to join us to enjoy Bexhill, meet some of the new independent town councillors, hear about their plans for the town, and share expertise and ideas between kindred spirits from around the country.The programme has been designed to allow people to attend on day-trip basis, or to stay over for one or two nights in Bexhill or the nearby delightful Sussex coastal area.
