We constantly monitor and respond to planning applications and other significant events affecting the Malling area. We have meetings monthly to listen to a range of interesting speakers and we arrange occasional visits and outings to local places of interest.
We store and protect a range of documents, photographs and similar materials of local interest and welcome further gifts and donations.
We are custodians of the Freda Barton Photographic Collection.
