The Halstead 21st Century Group are a local charity made up of residents who are passionate about protecting the town’s history, green spaces, and character—not just for today, but for future generations.

They were originally formed after a development threat to a key heritage site in Halstead, and since then have grown into a respected voice in the community—monitoring planning applications, working with councils, and actively campaigning to preserve both built and natural heritage across the area.

One of their key focuses right now is highlighted here:
👉 Heritage at Risk

The link page above shines a light on what’s under threat locally—from historic buildings to rare sites like the WWII air raid shelters,which are considered one of the most significant surviving groups in Essex.

It’s a real reminder that not everything we value is protected, and without awareness and community support, important parts of Halstead’s story could be lost.

The group doesn’t just highlight problems—they actively engage in consultations, with developers.
