The Earl’s Court Society represents the interests of all residents in and around Earl’s Court, and works with the Council and other bodies to improve the lives of those living there. It covers the area between Kensington High Street in the north and Fulham Road in the South, and is an umbrella organisation providing help and support to individuals as well as to the many local residents’ associations that subscribe to it.
The Society seeks to preserve and improve the neighbourhood of Earl’s Court for the public benefit, to include but not limited to the following:
1. Promoting the protection, preservation and improvement of local buildings and amenities, including formulating planning advice for the area.
2. Representing and expressing the views of residents and those working in the neighbourhood where appropriate
3. Supporting and encouraging Residents’ Associations and similar bodies in the area
4. Promoting the commercial wellbeing of the area
5. Acting when required as an advisory group to the Council of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and as a forum bringing together statutory, voluntary and commercial bodies with the RBK&C Council and residents.
Its work is carried out largely through working groups covering such important aspects as Health, Housing & Welfare, the Environment, Planning & Licensing, Transport & Highways, Police, Crime & Antisocial Behaviour, and Business. It also supports a number of local initiatives, such as volunteer-led litter-collecting and graffiti-cleaning events.
Regarding the Earl’s Court Development site, ECDC, the Society is lobbying for a good mix of market and affordable housing, green spaces and other amenities, including a new cultural venue on this site an,d will fight to resist densification and high-rise buildings.
