Its work has included the Seddon Festival, Snapshots of Seddon, and Community Markets as well as supporting residents with inappropriate developments in section 14 in the Parish of Cut Paw Paw. The group is significantly inactive now but Residents facilitate this page and the aims of the group were to:

-To improve the ongoing viability of local shopping centers by enhancing their appearance of amenities and promoting a safe and friendly shopping environment.
-To foster and strengthen community identity through improvements to the public realm and the enhancement of the existing residential character.
