RIPON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
Ripon has its own Neighbourhood Plan. On a better than expected turnout of 21.69%, 2292 Ripon residents voted in the referendum on 14 February 2019 for the Ripon Neighbourhood Plan to help decide planning applications in the city. That's over five out of every six people voting supported the Plan.
Ripon Civic Society was a founding organisation calling for a neighbourhood plan, some of our members volunteering their time to prepare it.
Ripon Re-Viewed is an exciting new project to preserve and
digitise 10,000 photographic images revealing over a century of life in the
City of Ripon. Dating from the 1880s to the 1980s, these remarkable collections
record the people, places, shops, schools, traditions, celebrations, events and
the everyday life of our community. |
