Those of us who live in Wheathampstead know how special it is. A rare haven of rural peace close to several large towns and cities, two major roads into London and an airport. Although not as it was thirty years ago, the High Street with its local shops still provides a focus for a community spirit which is valued by most residents. Our village is renowned by newcomers for its friendliness. Wheathampstead can still offer a choice of primary schools, a library, dentist, doctor, fire station and a range of shops and services rarely found in villages today. Toddlers feed the ducks from the Mill Bridge, teenagers fish from the Quay and families, walking groups and cyclists come from all over the district to enjoy our local walks and escape from the hustle and bustle of cities and towns.

Why do we need a Preservation Society? Wheathampstead & District Preservation Society (WDPS) was formed in 1995 by villagers to: Protect what is best about Wheathampstead from what members feel is harmful development. Promote Wheathampstead as a village - its shops and businesses. Encourage the preservation of our countryside and green spaces. We live in a time of change, with a constant increase in development, traffic, pollution and the cost of housing. All of these take their toll on our village. WDPS is well known for fighting against developers and those who are careless of the concerns of villagers and our environment.   WDPS is an example of local people getting together to say what it is we want for our village. We don’t want to preserve the village in aspic but to ensure that any changes benefit rather than damage it. Our successes have shown what local people can do when we act together.
