ASHTAV is an organisation that works to unite amenity and civic societies, parish and town councils in small historic towns and villages throughout Britain to preserve the beauty, distinctiveness, social fabric and vitality of our historic towns.

ASHTAV encourages high standards of architecture and planning so that new developments respect the existing built environment and community life.

Above all, ASHTAV strives to encourage community pride and engagement.

We keep our members informed of developments and best practice in local government, planning, environment, housing and transport through our quarterly magazine and website and seminars.

Networking is part of the ASHTAV experience.
