60 Years of the Leighton Buzzard Society
The Leighton Buzzard Society, formally known as The Preservation Society was formed in 1966.
We are a Society of people who live or work in Leighton-Linslade and the surrounding
area, who care about the town, take an active interest in it, and wish to improve the
town environment. 2026 is the 60th anniversary of protecting our town.
We hold regular meetings on topics of local interest, which are open to the public. We
arrange visits to local sites of interest, and we distribute a newsletter 3 times a year to
our members by email. We use email, TikTok, X and Facebook to alert members of current issues.
The Society committee considers the implications for the town of Central Bedfordshire Council, Local Plans, mass housing proposals, the impact on the Green Belt, and transport issues, be they the railway, highways, new developments, or new landing/departure routes for London Luton Airport.
We have a seat on PAIN (People Against Intrusive Noise) a long-established Aylesbury Vale-based group who are officially recognised by the Department of Transport as a consultee body to London Luton Airport.

All meetings are at 8 pm, Community Room, Marigold House (site of the old police station), Hockliffe Road, LU7 3FF

It’s not about all the excellent rescues and seafaring dangers, these are well documented in the BBC programme, Saving Lives at Sea, but it is about the organisation itself, it’s history and how they are set up to undertake rescue work around the coasts of the UK and Ireland.
