The lates #HeritageChat was on the theme of Heritage and the High Street and took place on the 20th June, 13.00-14.00.
This theme has been a focus of the Heritage 2020 Constructive Conservation and Sustainable Management group (find out more). The group has been looking at the role that heritage can play in the regeneration of high streets in the face of economic and social change.
On May 18th, Government published further information on the £62 million investment into heritage in high streets (originally announced in the 2018 Budget). Historic England, the Architectural Heritage Fund and the National Lottery Heritage Fund are all playing roles in distributing the funding. Read the press release.
