The AGM was held on Thursday 3rd October 2024 in the Refectory, Chester Cathedral, St Werburgh Street, Chester.

The formal business was preceded by a fantastic talk from The Bishop of Chester, Mark Tanner.

Mark spoke significantly about the buildings we inherit, use and pass on to others and how their function might, or has to, change to fit the times. We are simply custodians!

The conversion of Chester Civic Trust’s status to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was voted in unanimously.

Questions from the audience at the AGM ranged from why there are no carbon neutral houses in Chester, why nothing has been done about Hoole Bridge since 1960, has Lower Bridge Street been ignored, why is the bus station so windy, to the need for a cultural element in Northgate 2 and the effect, if any, of the new Government’s housing targets on Chester.
