What's New?

  • The draft programme for the National Heritage Champion Conference, due to take place on 15 November at the Foundling Museum, central London, is now available. Whilst some aspects are still to be finalised, much of the day has now been confirmed. There will be the an address from English Heritage Chair, Baroness Andrews; the opportunity to hear the experiences of fellow Heritage Champions; along with workshops on the future of the Heritage Champions network and on what local authorities can be doing to combat the problem of heritage crime.
  • Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Transport Secretary Philip Hammond are concerned that the character of the country's urban spaces is being damaged and have urged local authorities to reduce the number of signs and other 'street clutter'. English Heritage shares this concern. We have produced detailed regional guidance and a series of practical case studies help promote the restoration of the character of our streets.
