The Council
The LGBC is an independent, voluntary umbrella organisation for groups and individuals passionate about preserving and protecting London’s Green Belt.
Members meet three times a year, usually in the Houses of Parliament. Our Annual General Meeting elects an executive committee including a chair and officers to deal with CIC administrative business and day-to-day matters that arise relating to the Green Belt.
We are constituted as a Community Interest Company (CIC) funded by member subscriptions and donations.
Our Origin
The Green Belt as we now know it started on 3rd August 1955 with a Circular from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government calling on Planning Authorities to establish Green Belts. The LGBC was founded in that year.
