All nominations are considered by the Trust’s Heritage Panel which meets quarterly – January, April, July, and October. Due to the current number of approved blue plaques any nominations that are approved will not be looked to be unveiled until 2026 - 2028.
Please note, that it can take years before a plaque is unveiled, this can be down to several factors, e.g. gaining permission from a building owner. Currently, plaques which are approved by our Trustees, take On average 2 years before they are unveiled.
Please return your completed nomination form to office@leedscivictrust.org.uk
