Following the success of the Poppy Road Project in 2018, Sue Satterthwaite, Mike Ballinger and Karen Ross MBE have established Aldridge Civic Trust.
The intention is to build on the wonderful civic pride shown through the Poppy Road project and raise awareness of the fact that Aldridge has a Conservation Area and what that means, along with the status of The Croft. To share our research into the fascinating people, events and buildings from our past. Details of the first events to follow soon. In the meantime we would be grateful if you could give this page a like and share it with others, to help spread the word.
