Our next open meeting will be on Thursday 3 October when we shall be looking at fifty years of the RIPON CONSERVATION AREA and what the future holds.

RIPON CITY NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN

Ripon residents voted on 14 February 2019 for the Ripon City Neighbourhood Plan to help decide planning applications in the city with immediate effect. Harrogate Borough Council made the Plan in April.

RIPON RE-VIEWED

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. Copies of the Ripon Re-Viewed 2019 Calendar are still available from the Society.
