SCAS was founded in 1978, immediately after the establishment of the  Stoneygate Conservation Area by Leicester City Council. Existing continuously since then, we have been operating for over 30 years.

Over the years  Stoneygate has changed and the Society has evolved with it. Our membership  embraces all kinds of people who cherish the conservation area’s uniqueness,  residents and non-residents alike. We are committed to positive cultural and physical developments that enhance Stoneygate, maintain its integrity  and ensure that it remains a viable and attractive place for those who live in it, work in it or are just visiting.

Our aims
The Society's objects are:
To preserve and enhance the amenities, visual and social, of the area and of the contiguous parts of Leicester.
To make recommendations and representations to the authorities, when changes or developments are proposed in the area.
To increase awareness of residents in the area, in matters appertaining to its history, character and potentialities.
To promote, by meetings, lectures, excursions, publications or by any other means, the objects of the Society
